This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Peuls représentent au Sahel et en Afrique centrale une population d'environ 35 à 40 millions de personnes. Ils sont majoritairement pasteurs de bovins. Sept à huit millions d'entre eux sont nomades et transhumants. Depuis 2015, ces communautés sont de plus en plus victimes de violences meurtrières et certains Peuls sont soupçonnés d'être des terroristes. Par ailleurs, ils doivent faire preuve de résilience face aux fortes perturbations climatiques et à leurs inévitables impacts sur les ressources dont dépendent leurs troupeaux. Ce livre permet de mieux connaître les Peuls et les différentes facettes de leur identité, les problèmes liés au pastoralisme et à son devenir, enfin les débats sur la participation des Peuls au développement d'un djihadisme terroriste dans plusieurs pays du Sahel.
Download or read book Pastoralism and Socio technological Transformations in Northern Benin written by Georges Djohy and published by Göttingen University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoralists throughout Africa face increasing pressures. In Benin, governmental development policies and programmes in crop farming are changing power relations between herders and farmers to favour the latter. How are the Fulani pastoralists responding to these threats to their existence? Georges Djohy explores the dynamics in local use of natural resources and in inter-ethnic relations resulting from development interventions. He combines the approaches of science and technology studies – looking at the co-construction of society and technology – and political ecology – looking at the power relations shaping the dynamics of economic, environmental and social change – so as to throw light on the forces of marginalisation, adaptation and innovation at work in northern Benin. Having worked there for many years, Djohy has been able to uncover gradual processes of socio-technological change that are happening “behind the scenes” of agricultural development involving mechanisation, herbicide use, tree planting, land registration and natural resource conservation. He reveals how farmers are using these interventions as “weapons” in order to gain more rights over larger areas of land, in other words, to support indigenous land grabbing from herders who had been using the land since decades for grazing. He documents how the Fulani are innovating to ensure their survival, e.g. by using new technologies for transport and communication, developing new strategies of livestock feeding and herd movement, and developing complementary sources of household income. The Fulani are organising themselves from local to national level to provide technological and socio-cultural services, manage conflicts and gain a stronger political voice, e.g. to be able to achieve demarcation of corridors for moving livestock through cultivated areas. They even use non-functioning mini-dairies – another example of development intervention – to demonstrate their modernity and to open up other opportunities to transform their pastoral systems. This book provides insights into normally hidden technical and social dynamics that are unexpected outcomes of development interventions.

Download or read book Managing Mobility in African Rangelands written by Maryam Niamir-Fuller and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 1999 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how land tenure laws, decentralization policies, institutional capactiy building, common property management, conflict resolution and participatory development can be made more responsive to the needs of pastoralists and those practising transhumance today in order to achieve ecologically and economically sustainable development in arid Africa. The scope of this book is holistic: social, economic, political and environmental issues are discussed in each contribution. The case studies focus on four key constraints to managed mobility: appropriate legislation; and conflict resolution. The case studies are from Africa, but the issues and conclusions are just as relevant to pastoralism and common property management in other continents. Scientists, students, development experts, government officials and bilateral and multi-lateral development organizations will find new research presented in this book that is highly relevant to their work.
Download or read book Identit s sah liennes en temps de crise written by Amy Niang and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage multidisciplinaire présente une série des réflexions critiques sur les dynamiques identitaires dans un Sahel « en crise ». Si cette dernière constitue un moment de rupture et de renouvellement des règles socioculturelles des sociétés sahéliennes, elle révèle également les aspects structurants et fondateurs de l’identité comme logique de reproduction, instrument politique et enjeu international majeur. Cet ouvrage montre que la pratique de l’identité produit à la fois des temporalités, des contingences, des idéologies, des légitimités et des imaginaires constamment réactualisés à travers le conflit, l’expression esthétique, le mouvement, ainsi que l’invention de nouvelles formes de vie. This multidisciplinary publication presents critical reflections on the dynamics of identity formation in a Sahel “in crisis”: a moment of sudden rupture and change that radically alters the social and cultural structures shaping the present of Sahel societies, but which also reveal them to be political instruments with an international significance. The contributions show how conflict, movement, and aesthetics shape identity practices that produce temporal, contingent and constantly changing ideologies, legitimacies, imaginaries, and new ways of life in the Sahel. Dans un contexte où le Sahel est devenu un centre d’intérêt majeur de la réflexion sur l’Afrique contemporaine, cet ouvrage est bienvenu. Il rouvre le débat sur les articulations et reformulations des identités sous un angle nouveau. Mieux, en interrogeant les expériences de la crise et les pratiques de l’identité, il propose de nouvelles perspectives dans l’analyse et la théorisation du vécu des Sahéliens. (Dr. Abdoulaye Sounaye, Leibnitz-Zentrum Moderner Orient) En mettant des processus de figuration des identités au centre de son attention, ce livre est plus que bienvenu : il comble des lacunes que les études du ‹ sécuritaire › du Sahara-Sahel laissent ouvertes. Les contributions donnent la voix aux Saharo-Sahéliens mêmes qui n’ont été jusqu’alors que les objets d’étude. Ceci fait de ce livre une lecture indispensable, non seulement pour les spécialistes académiques de ces régions, mais aussi pour le public intéressé et – last but not least – pour les décideurs politiques.

Book excerpt: This book analyses the complex interplay between livelihood practices in northern Burkina Faso and diverse processes of geographic mobility, among which massive migration by Moose to the south and west of the country and to the Ivory Coast. Supported by extensive ethnographic data it is demonstrated how the flexibility of land tenure arrangements allows for and is fuelled by actors geographic mobility, how the meaning of migration and the way it is embedded in social organization changed over the last century, and how differential accumulation of cattle by migrants strains relations among Moose farmers and complicates the latter relations with Fulbe herdsmen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethnographies collected here offer a surprising and compelling picture of change in Russia and Eastern Europe found in no other book to date. Looking at the everyday processes by which individuals and groups forge new lives, the authors challenge the idea that we can understand this transformation by the predictable models_whether capitalism, post-socialism, modernity, or postmodernity. The collection brings together a wide-ranging group of authors from sociology, anthropology, and political science to reveal the complex relationships that still exist between the former socialist world and the world today. Through evocative ethnographic research and writing, they bring to light the unintended consequences of change and show how the 'slates' of the past enter the present not as legacies_but as novel adaptations. Often what appear as 'restorations' of patterns familiar from socialism are something quite different: direct responses to the new market initiatives. By showing the unexpected ways in which these new patterns are emerging, this book charts a new and important course for the study of post-socialist transition.

Download or read book The Third Dimension written by Jon Mathieu and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering examination of the three-dimensionality of the earth from the perspective of history and the humanities. This book considers the variegated world of mountains and their development during the last 500 years. It takes as its starting point the United Nations environmental conference of 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, where the mountains were officially recognised as a topic of the world community. Important precedents for this new agenda were built in the early modern period and in the nineteenth century, as European societies began to exceed their traditional limitations. The book begins with an investigation of this long-term process with respect to science, culture and politics, each of which has transformed our attitudes toward mountainous regions. It then takes up historical problems that have been debated in the latest research, placing them in a comparative framework. At the book's heart stands the question of whether and in what way the 'three-dimensional history' of mountain people may reveal distinctive forms of development.
