Des femmes écrivent l'Afrique est un projet de reconstruction culturelle qui se propose de donner à entendre des voix de femmes africaines. Ce projet a déjà abouti à la publication par la Feminist Press de New York de trois anthologies régionales en anglais. Les éditions Karthala publient à leur tour les volumes de la collection en traduction frnaçaise, à Paris. Ce second volume est destiné à transformer nos perceptions de l'histoire et de la culture de l'Afrique australe. Il comporte des textes d'Afrique du Sud, du Botswana, du Lesotho, de Namibie, du Swaziland et du Zimbabwe, et couvre une période allant de 1842 jusqu'à nos jours. Plus de vingt langues, africaines et européennes, y sont représentées. Des femmes des villes et des campagnes, des femmes indigènes et des femmes colons, s'y expriment tour à tour, en tant qu'actrices des conflits historiques de leur temps et en tant que créatrices de sens culturel. Ces textes nous apportent un témoignage vivant et vital.

Le patrimoine scientifique traditionnel de l'Afrique subsaharienne demeure encore peu connu, insuffisamment étudié et peu exploré éducativement. Lusona : Récréations géométriques d'Afrique complète Une tradition géométrique en Afrique - Les dessins sur le sable, en présentant des problèmes, divertissements ou jeux géométriques qui s'inspirent des dessins traditionnels - appelés (lu)sona - des Tchokwe du nord-est de l'Angola. Ces dessins sont des patrons faits de lignes qui obéissent à des algorithmes géométriques. Les récréations sont du genre : « Trouvez les figures qui manquent », où, à chaque fois, certaines figures d'une série sont présentées et il s'agit d'en trouver d'autres. The scientific heritage of sub-Saharan Africa remains largely unknown, insufficiently studied and its incorporation into education rather unexplored. Lusona : Geometrical Recreations of Africa complements A geometrical tradition Africa - The sand drawings (L'Harmattan, Paris, 1995) by presenting geometrical problems, games and recreations inspired by the traditional drawings of the Tchokwe people, of north-eastem Angola, called (lu)sona. These drawings or patterns consist of lines satisfying various geometrical algorithms. In the « Find the rnissing figure » activities the reader is given certain figures and invited to draw/create the missing figure(s) in the sequence. Paulus GERDES, scientifique mozambicain, a effectué ses études supérieures de mathématiques et d'anthropologie culturelle à l'Université de Nimègue (Pays-Bas). Il a obtenu un doctorat en philosophie et histoire des sciences (Dresde, Allemagne) et un doctorat d'Etat en didactique des mathématiques (Wuppertal, Allemagne). Il est professeur de mathématiques à l'Université pédagogique du Mozambique. Il préside, depuis 1986, au sein de l'Union Mathématique Africaine, la Commission d'Histoire des Mathématiques en Afrique. Il était, de 1991 à 1995, secrétaire général de l'Association des Sciences Mathématiques pour l'Afrique Australe. Deux de ses précédents ouvrages, Une tradition géométrique en Afrique - les dessins sur le sable ( 1995, 3 tomes, 594 p.) et Femmes et Géométrie en Afrique Australe (1996, 219 p.) ont déjà été publiés aux Editions L'Harmattan.

From the Preface:"Over the years, Paulus Gerdes has established himself as the pre-eminent expert on patterns in African weaving and basketry, and the broader implications of these patterns. ... This new book is a broad gallery of plaited African designs. These range over much of the continent while concentrating on those parts of Africa that are closest to his Mozambique center, including Kongo, Mbole and Mangbetu from Congo, Cokwe and Lunda from Angola, Digo from Kenya, Soga from Uganda, Zulu from South Africa, and Makhuwa in Mozambique itself, but including such distant peoples as Bamileke in Cameroon. In Gerdes' gallery we are shown the love of patterns and symmetries that are the result of centuries of exultant exploration. Enjoy!"Donald W.

The Postcolonial Turn written by Francis B. Nyamnjoh and has been published by African Books Collective this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011 with History categories.
This innovative book is a forward-looking reflection on mental decolonisation and the postcolonial turn in Africanist scholarship. As a whole, it provides five decennia-long lucid and empathetic research involvements by seasoned scholars who came to live, in local people's own ways, significant daily events experienced by communities, professional networks and local experts in various African contexts. The book covers materials drawn from Botswana, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania. Themes include the Whelan Research Academy, rap musicians, political leaders, wise men and women, healers, Sacred Spirit churches, diviners, bards and weavers who are deemed proficient in the classical African geometrical knowledge. As a tribute to late Archie Mafeje who showed real commitment to decolonise social sciences from western-centred modernist development theories, commentators of his work pinpoint how these theories sought to dismiss the active role played by African people in their quest for self-emancipation. One of the central questions addressed by the book concerns the role of an anthropologist and this issue is debated against the background of the academic lecture delivered by René Devisch when receiving an honorary doctoral degree at the University of Kinshasa. The lecture triggered critical but constructive comments from such seasoned experts as Valentin Mudimbe and Wim van Binsbergen. They excoriate anthropological knowledge on account that the anthropologist, notwithstanding his or her social and cognitive empathy and intense communication with the host community, too often fails to also question her own world and intellectual habitus from the standpoint of her hosts. Leading anthropologists carry further into great depth the bifocal anthropological endeavour focussing on local people's re-imagining and re-connecting the local and global. The book is of interest to a wide readership in the humanities, social sciences, philosophy and the history of the African continent and its relation with the North.
