Dakar est cette métropole créée par le colonisateur à la fin du XIXe siècle pour pouvoir administrer judicieusement le vaste ensemble terrtitorial conquis dans l'ouest-africain. Son développement rapide n'a été que le résultat de facteurs divers et favorables. Lorsque le second conflit mondial éclate, logiquement sa participation est attendue anxieusement par les tenants du pouvoir républicain d'abord, vichyste ensuite, gaulliste plus tard. Lorsque le conflit se termine, l'espoir du lendemain meilleur se dessine. Au résultat, c'est une transmission en douceur qui a lieu en 1960, date des indépendances africaines.

Examines Dakar's transformation from a small colonial capital to a dynamic city, highlighting how its resourceful residents challenged French control by forging adaptive economic relationships. During a transformative era in the first half of the twentieth century, Dakar--former capital of French West Africa and present-day capital of Senegal--evolved from a small colonial capital meant to serve the French administration to a dynamic city shaped not solely by colonial planners but by its resourceful inhabitants. In this important book, author Rachel Petrocelli introduces the concept of transactional culture, a set of norms and practices forged by Dakar's residents to navigate life under colonial rule. A central element of this culture was transience, a defining feature permeating various facets of life in Dakar, from commerce and employment to housing and interactions with the state. The book uncovers a central dynamic: economic relationships in Dakar were continually molded by the ebb and flow of diverse individuals, each pursuing their own objectives, despite relentless efforts of the French state to exert control. Both Europeans and Africans embraced adaptability in Dakar over fixed residence, while immigrant communities implanted themselves and became integral to the city's transactional culture. In a compelling narrative based on court records and other primary sources, author Rachel Petrocelli shows that as the French colonial state sought to shape and control Dakar, it enacted policies to intentionally limit city dwellers' financial resources. Practices like pawning possessions and taking out credit emerged as financial strategies as a result, integrating Dakarois of every background. These practices persisted long after French rule ended, underscoring the enduring impact of Dakar's colonial history.

Originally published in 1978 as part of the Urbanization in Developing Countries series, this is an interdisciplinary study of rapid urban growth in West Africa. Gugler and Flanagan first explore the history of the cities of the early West African empires and they draw on the work of social anthropologists and sociologists, as well as demographers, economists, geographers, historians, political scientists and social psychologists. They then describe the urban explosion that the region experienced after World War II. They explore the implications of widespread urban unemployment and underemployment, the housing crisis and the emergence of metropolitan areas such as Lagos. The literature on urbanization and social change in Black Africa in general, and West Africa in particular, expanded at a fast pace in the years preceding publication. This critical review of the disparate findings filled a gap in African Studies and threw light on the understanding of Third World urbanization.

Les questions de sécurité et de criminalité sont devenues de nouveaux objets d'études en Afrique, essentiellement en raison de la multiplication récente des formes de criminalité urbaine ou organisée et de la privatisation avancée de grandes portions d'espaces urbains, phénomènes que l'on pouvait croire limités aux Amériques. L'endémicité de la crise économique, l'accroissement de la pauvreté, la criminalisation de l'État et la faillite des polices tropicales ont considérablement accru les sentiments d'insécurité et accéléré le développement d'agences privées qui prennent le relais d'États incapables d'assumer le contrôle du corps social. Les auteurs de ce livre interrogent l'efficacité des fonctions régaliennes de l'État (sécurité, police, justice) et leur éventuelle dévolution à des organismes privés (associations, groupes d'autodéfense, milices) ; ils rendent compte d'un groupe et de sa catégorisation (criminels, délinquants) et proposent un nouveau regard sur une certaine gestion urbaine de l'insécurité (ségrégation). Alors que de nombreuses études se sont naturellement focalisées sur les vingt dernières années, la quasi-absence d'études historiques sur la sécurité et la criminalité laisserait supposer que ces phénomènes sont nouveaux en Afrique. L'une des priorités de ce livre est de reconsidérer ces questions en proposant une approche pluridisciplinaire (histoire, science politique, géographie, sociologie, littérature). De nombreuses études empiriques témoignent de la variété des trajectoires criminelles, des rôles successifs des polices coloniales et postcoloniales, de la multiplicité des agences de sécurité privée et des formes ségrégatives d'organisation de l'espace urbain en Afrique de l'Ouest. En raison de la taille et du nombre de ses villes et de l'épaisseur historique de la criminalité urbaine, le Nigeria tient une place singulière dans ce livre. Premier pays de la région à entrer dans l'ère du crime organisé, le Nigeria constitue aujourd'hui une base essentielle des réseaux criminels transnationaux à l'échelle mondiale.

"Bringing together a wide diversity of authors based on three continents and from different disciplinary backgrounds, this book offers analyses of a wide range of factors that characterize and that are shaping the future of the African Sahel. In forty chapters, organized in nine sections, the book examines this complex and rapidly changing region on multiple dimensions. Collectively, the book attempts to offer an understanding of the specificity of the Sahel, and to examine its core characteristics as shaped by the geographic, cultural, and political parameters that define it. Following a series of chapters focused on the shaping of the Sahelian space as a region, six chapters explore the distinct national trajectories of the countries of the political Sahel: Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad. The extraordinary combination of environmental, economic and political challenges, and the ways in which Sahelian states and societies have responded, are the primary focus of the three subsequent sections, while the various parameters of the lived realities of these societies in motion are explored in the four final sections of the book. Transversally throughout, the chapters aim to offer an interdisciplinary and holistic view of the challenges and the dynamics that are shaping a region at an historical crossroads, and an understanding of the many factors that feed and perpetuate its vulnerabilities and fragilities, as well as its sources of resilience"--

This book explores various characteristics of tropical African cities, with special reference to change in the post-independence period. It stresses the diversity of urban forms and urban experience to be found within the region, distinguishing the more general features from those peculiar to individual cities. Much has been written about urban Africa, but nearly all relates to particular cities: this book provides a context for such studies. This review provides an essential foundation both for theoretical clarification of the processes of urbanization and for practical planning decisions. The topics covered range from rural-urban migration and national urban systems to the urban economy, housing , and the spatial structure of cities. The sharp contrasts between indigenous and colonial urban traditions are emphasized, but so also is the evidence for convergence today, as indigenization takes place in the colonial cities while Westernization proceeds ini those of indigenous origin. This book was first published in 1983.

An overview of the ongoing methods used to understand African history. Spurred in part by the ongoing re-evaluation of sources and methods in research, African historiography in the past two decades has been characterized by the continued branching and increasing sophistication of methodologies and areas of specialization. The rate of incorporation of new sources and methods into African historical research shows no signs of slowing. This book is both a snapshot of current academic practice and an attempt to sort throughsome of the problems scholars face within this unfolding web of sources and methods. The book is divided into five sections, each of which begins with a short introduction by a distinguished Africanist scholar. The first sectiondeals with archaeological contributions to historical research. The second section examines the methodologies involved in deciphering historically accurate African ethnic identities from the records of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The third section mines old documentary sources for new historical perspectives. The fourth section deals with the method most often associated with African historians, that of drawing historical data from oral tradition. Thefifth section is devoted to essays that present innovative sources and methods for African historical research. Together, the essays in this cutting-edge volume represent the current state of the art in African historical research. Toyin Falola is the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities and University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Christian Jennings is a Doctoral Candidatein History at the University of Texas at Austin.
