Download or read book Philosophie et pouvoir politique en Afrique written by Phambu Ngoma-Binda and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophie et pouvoir politique sont deux nationalités intimes, vivant dans un régime spécifique de mariage généralement conflictuel, et très souvent de séparation de corps perpétuel. Il est utile d'en étudier les modulations et les pulsions, dans le contexte particulier de l'Afrique. Plus spécialement il est indispensable, au delà de la colonisation politique et culturelle, de rendre compte des regards réciproques du savant et du praticien, du philosophe et du politique en situation postcoloniale. Ce faisant, on arrive à mesurer ou, tout au moins, à imaginer le genre comme le degré de pouvoir que le philosophique exerce sur le politique, et le politique sur le philosophique. Il apparaît, absolument, que pour accomplir sa prétention au pouvoir, accroître sa capacité d'inflexion du politique et de la société, la philosophie est obligée de maximiser ses propres voies de pouvoir théorique, pratique et idéologique. Ainsi, il devient inévitable de rechercher les conditions de possibilité d'une telle philosophie à pourvoir d'inflexion maximale sur les consciences et les modes de gouvernement des hommes et des sociétés. En posant le politique comme objet de pensée préférentiel et, de ce fait, en redéfinissant le mode de regards mutuels des pouvoirs, philosophique et politique, une manière spécifique de philosopher radicalement marquée par l'angoisse et le souci d'un plus grand pouvoir sur le réel, en particulier sur le mode de gouvernement politique en Afrique et ailleurs.
Download or read book African Political Thought written by Guy Martin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of its history, the African continent has witnessed momentous political change, remarkable philosophical innovation, and the complex cross-fertilization of ideologies and belief systems. This definitive study surveys the concepts, values, and historical upheavals that have shaped African political systems from the ancient period to the postcolonial era and beyond. Beginning with the emergence of indigenous political institutions, it traces the most important developments in African history, including the Africanization of Islam, liberal democratic movements, socialism, Pan-Africanism, and Africanist-Populist resistance to the neoliberal world order. The result is an invaluable resource on a region too often ignored in the history of political thought.
Download or read book Architecture and Power in Africa written by Nnamdi Elleh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-12-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the most ambitious religious edifices of the 20th century are the Our Lady of Peace Basilica in the West African country of the Ivory Coast and the Hassan II Mosque in Morocco. Nnamdi Elleh not only provides a substantial architectural and pictorial analysis of the buildings themselves. Using these two buildings as case studies, he also investigates questions of national memory, urban form, architectural styles, concepts of democracy, social hierarchies as well as the elites who make the decisions to build Africa's post-independence monuments and capital cities. His book is an exciting synthesis of theoretical and empirical analysis that is bound to stimulate debate about the form and content of post-colonial identities in Africa.

Download or read book Democracy in Senegal written by S. Gellar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-09-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an in-depth comparative study of democracy formation, Gellar traces Senegal's movement from a pre-colonial aristocratic order towards a modern democratic political order. Inspired by Tocqueville's methodology, he identifies social equality, ethnic and religious tolerance, popular participation in local affairs, and freedom of association and the press as vital components of any democratic system. He shows how centralized state structures and monopoly of political power stifled local initiative and perpetuated neo-patrimonial modes of governance.

Download or read book Democracy in Translation written by Frederic Charles Schaffer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederic C. Schaffer challenges the assumption often made by American scholars that democracy has been achieved in foreign countries when criteria such as free elections are met. Elections, he argues, often have cultural underpinnings that are invisible to outsiders. To examine grassroots understandings of democratic institutions and political concepts, Schaffer conducted fieldwork in Senegal, a mostly Islamic and agrarian country with a long history of electoral politics. Schaffer discovered that ideas of "demokaraasi" held by Wolof-speakers often reflect concerns about collective security. Many Senegalese see voting as less a matter of choosing leaders than of reinforcing community ties that may be called upon in times of crisis.By looking carefully at language, Schaffer demonstrates that institutional arrangements do not necessarily carry the same meaning in different cultural contexts. Democracy in Translation asks how social scientists should investigate the functioning of democratic institutions in cultures dissimilar from their own, and raises larger issues about the nature of democracy, the universality of democratic ideals, and the practice of cross-cultural research.

Download or read book Slave Traders by Invitation written by Finn Fuglestad and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Slave Coast, situated in what is now the West African state of Benin, was the epicentre of the Atlantic Slave Trade. But it was also an inhospitable, surf-ridden coastline, subject to crashing breakers and devoid of permanent human settlement. Nor was it easily accessible from the interior due to a lagoon which ran parallel to the coast. The local inhabitants were not only sheltered against incursions from the sea, but were also locked off from it. Yet, paradoxically, it was this coastline that witnessed a thriving long-term commercial relation-ship between Europeans and Africans, based on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. How did it come about? How was it all organised? And how did the locals react to the opportunities these new trading relations offered them? The Kingdom of Dahomey is usually cited as the Slave Coast's archetypical slave raiding and slave trading polity. An inland realm, it was a latecomer to the slave trade, and simply incorporated a pre-existing system by dint of military prowess, which ultimately was to prove radically counterproductive. Fuglestad's book seeks to explain the Dahomean 'anomaly' and its impact on the Slave Coast's societies and polities.
