Lorsque ses colonies d'Afrique ont accédé à l'indépendance, à l'orée des années 1960, la France a réussi un redoutable tour de passe-passe. Elle a officiellement reconnu la souveraineté politique des nouveaux États tout en gardant la mainmise sur leur économie. Elle a pour cela utilisé une arme aussi puissante qu'invisible : leur système monétaire. Lorsque ses colonies d'Afrique ont accédé à l'indépendance, à l'orée des années 1960, la France a réussi un tour de passepasse redoutable. Elle a officiellement reconnu la souveraineté politique des nouveaux États tout en gardant la mainmise sur leur économie grâce à une arme aussi puissante qu'invisible : leur système monétaire. Depuis la création en 1945 du franc des colonies françaises d'Afrique (CFA), le sigle a évolué et désigne désormais deux monnaies : celle de la " communauté financière africaine " en Afrique de l'Ouest et celle de la " coopération financière en Afrique centrale ". Mais c'est toujours Paris qui décide de la valeur externe de ces monnaies. Et la zone franc, qui assurait le contrôle économique des colonies, garantit encore à l'économie française un avantage comparatif sur le continent africain. Les auteurs décortiquent ces mécanismes monétaires et racontent comment les dirigeants français ont combattu tous ceux, experts ou dirigeants africains, qui se sont élevés contre cette servitude monétaire. Depuis quelques années, le franc CFA est également devenu l'enjeu de luttes populaires. Conscients que les questions économiques sont éminemment politiques, les citoyens africains sont de plus en plus nombreux à réclamer leur pleine souveraineté monétaire.

Heterosexual Africa? The History of an Idea from the Age of Exploration to the Age of AIDS builds from Marc Epprecht’s previous book, Hungochani (which focuses explicitly on same-sex desire in southern Africa), to explore the historical processes by which a singular, heterosexual identity for Africa was constructed—by anthropologists, ethnopsychologists, colonial officials, African elites, and most recently, health care workers seeking to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This is an eloquently written, accessible book, based on a rich and diverse range of sources, that will find enthusiastic audiences in classrooms and in the general public. Epprecht argues that Africans, just like people all over the world, have always had a range of sexualities and sexual identities. Over the course of the last two centuries, however, African societies south of the Sahara have come to be viewed as singularly heterosexual. Epprecht carefully traces the many routes by which this singularity, this heteronormativity, became a dominant culture. In telling a fascinating story that will surely generate lively debate, Epprecht makes his project speak to a range of literatures—queer theory, the new imperial history, African social history, queer and women’s studies, and biomedical literature on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. He does this with a light enough hand that his story is not bogged down by endless references to particular debates. Heterosexual Africa? aims to understand an enduring stereotype about Africa and Africans. It asks how Africa came to be defined as a “homosexual-free zone” during the colonial era, and how this idea not only survived the transition to independence but flourished under conditions of globalization and early panicky responses to HIV/AIDS.

Le patrimoine se décline en objets, en monuments, en forêts, en traditions et récits, mais il se dit toujours en « mots ». C'est en mots que se définissent les critères (exceptionnel, universel, symbolique, immatériel, intégrité, authenticité, identité, nature, culture,...) qui conditionnent, en particulier, la reconnaissance internationale d'un bien patrimonial par l'Unesco. Comment s'opère donc le passage des langues « internationales » aux langues d'Afrique ? À travers la constellation des mots « musée » et « patrimoine » et leurs « équivalents » travaillés en sept langues - ici : en français, anglais, fulfulde et bamanakan, bientôt en swahili, sukuma et tsonga pour la seconde livraison - Les intraduisibles du patrimoine proposent quelques pistes pour alimenter la réflexion sur les enjeux, y compris politiques, du patrimoine dans un contexte mondialisé.

From one of the world’s leading economists and his coauthors, a cutting-edge analysis of what drives economic growth and a blueprint for prosperity under capitalism. Crisis seems to follow crisis. Inequality is rising, growth is stagnant, the environment is suffering, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed every crack in the system. We hear more and more calls for radical change, even the overthrow of capitalism. But the answer to our problems is not revolution. The answer is to create a better capitalism by understanding and harnessing the power of creative destruction—innovation that disrupts, but that over the past two hundred years has also lifted societies to previously unimagined prosperity. To explain, Philippe Aghion, Céline Antonin, and Simon Bunel draw on cutting-edge theory and evidence to examine today’s most fundamental economic questions, including the roots of growth and inequality, competition and globalization, the determinants of health and happiness, technological revolutions, secular stagnation, middle-income traps, climate change, and how to recover from economic shocks. They show that we owe our modern standard of living to innovations enabled by free-market capitalism. But we also need state intervention with the appropriate checks and balances to simultaneously foster ongoing economic creativity, manage the social disruption that innovation leaves in its wake, and ensure that yesterday’s superstar innovators don’t pull the ladder up after them to thwart tomorrow’s. A powerful and ambitious reappraisal of the foundations of economic success and a blueprint for change, The Power of Creative Destruction shows that a fair and prosperous future is ultimately ours to make.

This edited volume presents, for the first time, a history of anthropology regarding not only the well-known European and American traditions, but also lesser-known traditions, extending its scope beyond the Western world. It focuses on the results of these traditions in the present. Taking into account the distinction between empire-building and nation-building anthropology, introduced by G. Stocking and taken up by U. Hannerz, the book investigates different histories of anthropology, especially in ex-colonial and marginal contexts. It highlights how the hegemonic anthropologies have been accepted and assimilated in local contexts, which approaches have been privileged by institutions and academies in different locations, how the anthropological approach has been modelled and adapted according to specific knowledge requirements related to the cultural features of different areas, and which schools emerge as the most consolidated today. Each chapter presents a “cultural history” of one of the historical-cultural and geo-political contexts that influenced and produced the specific disciplinary traditions. The chapters highlight the local contributions to the discipline, the influences that the world centres have on the peripheries, but also the ways in which the peripheries have “learned from the centres” in order to re-elaborate meaningful or otherwise recognisable disciplinary lines.

"Jazz, aliens, and witchcraft collide in this collection of short stories by renowned author Emmanuel Dongala. The influence of Kongo culture is tangible throughout, as customary beliefs clash with party conceptions of scientific and rational thought. In the first half of Jazz and Palm Wine, the characters emerge victorious from decades of colonial exploitation in the Congo only to confront the burdensome bureaucracy, oppressive legal systems, and corrupt governments of the post-colonial era. The ruling political party attempts to impose order and scientific thinking while the people struggles to deal with drought, infertility, and impossible regulations and policies; both sides mix witchcraft, diplomacy, and violence in their efforts to survive. The second half of the book is set in the United States during the turbulent civil rights struggles of the 1960s. In the title story, African and American leaders come together to save the world from extraterrestrials by serving vast quantities of palm wine and playing American jazz. The stories in Jazz and Palm Wine prompt conversations about identity, race, and co-existence, providing contextualization and a historical dimension that is often sorely lacking. Through these collisions and clashes, Dongala suggests a pathway to racial harmony, peaceful co-existence, and individual liberty through artistic creation"--Back cover
