Book excerpt: Le long voyage, dans la société Balkar, d’une mère et veuve attentionnée. Toya, une jeune perle balkar de treize ans, est arrachée trop tôt de l’école pour être offerte en mariage à Nathan, un veuf âgé de trente et un ans. Ici le coup de foudre est inexistant; l’union précède l’amour. L’époux, à peine sorti de sa formation d’évangéliste presbytérien, se détourne du ministère pour le poste prestigieux de gérant du premier et unique magasin de son village. Le couple connait des moments de gloire inoubliables jusqu’au jour où tout bascule avec la fermeture du point de vente. Toya s’efforce encore de s’accommoder du nouveau mode de vie paysan quand Nathan, non content de compter un seul garçon, décide de devenir bigame, à la quête des enfants mâles. Un rêve déçu, car la nouvelle épouse lui offre trois filles en trois maternités successives. Finalement, la cour sera peuplée des petits garçons tant adorés dans cette société. Devenue veuve à trente-neuf ans, Toya est victime du rouleau compresseur de la tradition dont se sert l’unique frère cadet de Nathan, pour régner en maître absolu sur les biens et les épouses du défunt. Il fait des jeunes orphelins une main-d’oeuvre dans les champs de coton pendant des années. Cependant, même au plus fort de ses cauchemars, Toya ne désespère pas de libérer la maison de Nathan d’un joug qui ne dit pas son nom. Profitant d’un séjour médical, elle déserte la concession de Bakmul pour s’installer dans un centre urbain où ses enfants la rejoignent et savourent la liberté. Son fils aîné, universitaire de son état, prend la relève et fait de ses jeunes frères et soeurs des personnes autonomes et épanouies. Au fil du temps, Toya est rongée par une hypertension longtemps ignorée, qui aura raison d’elle. La veuve balkar s’éteint à l’âge de soixante-dix-neuf ans, entourée de siens. Son combat fut des plus nobles et des plus couronnés.

Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.
Download or read book Endometriosis in Adolescents written by Ceana H. Nezhat and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent endometriosis is a previously overlooked disease in children, the true prevalence of which is still unknown but has been estimated between 19-73%. There are numerous initial challenges faced by adolescents suffering from delayed or undiagnosed endometriosis apart from experiencing chronic pain, such as: school/work absenteeism, false diagnoses/treatments, erroneous physician referrals, unnecessary radiological studies, radiation exposure, and emergency room visits as well as early exposure to narcotic pain medications and subsequent drug tolerance, resistance or even addiction. This text presents a clear history of physician and patient understanding and awareness of endometriosis in adolescents. It lays the groundwork for this condition with background information on endometriosis in general followed by a more focused look at endometriosis in adolescents. Leading experts in the field provide chapters on the different locations where endometriotic lesions can present in adolescents as well as identified risk factors and concomitant diseases of which it is important to be aware. In addition to the clinical presentation, this book also provides information on breaking down existing barriers, such as stigma, and current activism and awareness of this condition. Adolescent Endometriosis is a first-of-its-kind text that focuses exclusively on endometriosis in the adolescent population. Written by experts in the field, this book is a comprehensive resource for clinicians in all medical disciplines that treat adolescent age girls.
