Le genre comme objet de recherche ne participe pas du domaine des objets consacrés et légitimes de la recherche en sciences sociales dans la plupart des pays d'Afrique noire. Ce qui est mis en relief, dans cet ouvrage, c'est l'absence relative d'intérêt des hommes, chercheurs en sciences sociales, pour une réflexion sur le genre. La biographie sociale du sexe peut être comprise comme une entreprise de mise en échec de la violence symbolique constitutive de la domination masculine. Ainsi se rejoignent savoir et pratique, science et militantisme. L'analyse de genre enrichit le champ d'étude des sciences sociales. Elle évite résolument le sentier périlleux et tortueux de la sociobiologie empruntée par Fukuyama pour rendre compte des rapports hommes-femmes au Cameroun. Les contributions réunies ici abordent le genre aussi bien sur le terrain de l'Etat, de l'école que sur celui de la société et de l'économie camerounaises. Si la route qui conduit à la parité des sexes est encore longue à parcourir, il reste que l'observation dévoile des tendances de modifications des valeurs et des pratiques contribuant, dans une certaine mesure, à moins infirmer les femmes et à délégitimer en partie la civilisation phallocratique des mœurs de genre. Le genre est abordé ici comme ayant partie liée avec le changement social.

Although gender and non-gender scholars have studied men, such an academic exercise requires a critical and focused study of masculine subjects in particular social contexts, which is what this book attempts to do. This empirically rich collection of essays, the seventh of the CODESRIA Gender Series, deals with critical examinations of various shades and ramifications of Africa's masculinities and what these portend for the peoples of Africa and for gender relations in the continent. So much has changed in terms of notions and expressions of masculinities in Africa since ancient times, but many aspects of contemporary masculinities were fashioned during and since the colonial period. The papers in this volume were initially discussed at the 2005 month-long CODESRIA Gender Institute in Dakar. The contributors are gender scholars drawn from various disciplines in the wide fields of the humanities and the social sciences with research interests in the critical study of men and masculinities in Africa. The CODESRIA Gender Series aims at keeping alive and nourishing the African social science knowledge base with insightful research and debates that challenge conventional wisdom, structures and ideologies that are narrowly informed by caricatures of gender realities. The series strives to showcase the best in African gender research and provide a platform for emerging new talents to flower.

Combining Catholic social teaching, feminist and African liberation theology, and the social sciences, Joseph Loïc Mben, SJ, develops a contextual gendered African Christian social ethic that addresses the oppression and marginalization of working women in Sub-Saharan Africa. He focuses primarily on African women from working and poor classes living in either urban or rural settings, particularly in Cameroon, and thus shows the necessity of inflecting Catholic social teaching along the differential of gender.

Images and stories about African sexuality abound in today's globalized media. Frequently old stereotypes and popular opinion inform these stories, and sex in the media is predominately approached as a problem in need of solutions and intervention. The authors gathered here refuse an easy characterization of African sexuality and instead seek to understand the various erotic realities, sexual practices, and gendered changes taking place across the continent. They present a nuanced and comprehensive overview of the field of sex and sexuality in Africa to serve as a guide though the quickly expanding literature. This collection offers a set of texts that use sexuality as a prism for studying how communities coalesce against the canvas of larger political and economic contexts and how personal lives evolve therein. Scholars working in Africa, the U.S., and Europe reflect on issues of representation, health and bio-politics, same-sex relationships and identity, transactional economies of sex, religion and tradition, and the importance of pleasure and agency. This multidimensional reader provides a comprehensive view of sexuality from an African perspective.

Are postcolonies haunted more by criminal violence than other nation-states? The usual answer is yes. In Law and Disorder in the Postcolony, Jean and John Comaroff and a group of respected theorists show that the question is misplaced: that the predicament of postcolonies arises from their place in a world order dominated by new modes of governance, new sorts of empires, new species of wealth—an order that criminalizes poverty and race, entraps the “south” in relations of corruption, and displaces politics into the realms of the market, criminal economies, and the courts. As these essays make plain, however, there is another side to postcoloniality: while postcolonies live in states of endemic disorder, many of them fetishize the law, its ways and itsmeans. How is the coincidence of disorder with a fixation on legalities to be explained? Law and Disorder in the Postcolony addresses this question, entering into critical dialogue with such theorists as Benjamin, Agamben, and Bayart. In the process, it also demonstrates how postcolonies have become crucial sites for the production of contemporary theory, not least because they are harbingers of a global future under construction.

In October 2016, thirty intellectuals and artists from Africa, its diasporas, and beyond gathered together in Dakar and Saint-Louis, Senegal, to reflect on the present and future of Africa in the midst of transformations that are sweeping through the contemporary world. The aim was to take stock of the renewal of Afro-diasporic critical thought and to discuss the new perspectives emerging from the ongoing projects constructing political, cultural, and social imaginaries for and from the African continent. This book brings together and makes available to the English-speaking world the material presented at the 2016 Ateliers de la pensée – Workshops of Thought – in Dakar. The authors deal with a wide range of issues, including decolonization, the development of social utopias, and the pursuit of new forms of political, economic, and social production on the African continent. Running throughout is a constant concern to interrogate the categories and frames of meaning that have served to characterize the dynamics of the African continent and a shared desire to produce new frames of intelligibility through which to see Africa’s present realities and its future. The contributions also attest to the view that there is no African question that is not also a global question, and that the Africanization of the global question will be a decisive feature of the twenty-first century. To Write the Africa World and its companion volume The Politics of Time will be indispensable for anyone interested in Africa – its past, present, and future – and in the new forms of critical thought emerging from Africa and the Global South.

This book brings to light work done in the area of gender with a penchant to language within the Cameroonian context. It looks at different domains of gender study where language is a significant variable. It is the very first edited collection that examines language and gender side by side. Contributors draw richly on their current theoretical leanings and on the current gendered discourses within the Cameroonian context to interrogate the interconnections between gender and language through social relationships and interactions. This is a pluri-disciplinary study informed by perspectives from anthropology, sociology and applied linguistics. The book hinges on gender, discourse and social change in historical perspective. Gender and language studies contribute to knowledge of new problems in view of a better understanding of relations between women and men, and its amelioration in the social space. Gender and language studies necessarily incorporate gender and discourse studies. Discourse serves as a unifying factor to these diverse disciplines which bring external support to pure linguistic studies, not only to deepen the understanding of gender but more so to describe how it works in discourse. Here, discourse is seen as being at the centre of gender ideology.

This collection of studies explores recent research in the area of gender and language use experienced around the world.

Using critical/feminist discourse analysis, the chapters represent scholarship from Britain, Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. Readers in applied linguistics, sociology, women’s studies and education who are interested in language and its power in creating the lived experience will find this book full of intriguing and illuminating connections.

Pour les Africaines originaires d'un continent riche de langues, la question du langage se situe à plusieurs niveaux. Tout d'abord, comment toucher, en Afrique, les femmes (la majorité) qui n'utilisent pas ou peu une langue européenne ? Comment, dans une perspective féministe, apprendre les unes des autres, discuter, élaborer et échanger des messages sur les questions qui affectent nos vies quotidiennes ? Comment créer les concepts et méthodes dans les langues africaines afin d'analyser et rendre compte du vécu des femmes et de leurs stratégies ? Comment créer des concepts et un langage féministes communs qui transcendent les diversités linguistiques et culturelles, en tant que locutrices du mandingue, du yoruba, du xhosa, du amharique, de l'arabe, du chinois, du français ou de l'anglais (Fatou Sow). La coexistence du masculin et du féminin en l'universel est l'incarnation de l'égalité naturelle, une égalité par nature, une égalité en dignité qui récuse que la femme soit perçue comme un bien, comme un moyen (Aminata Diaw). On pose trop souvent, en effet, la domination des hommes sur les femmes comme une donnée anthropologique universelle. Il apparaît au contraire qu'il convient d'historiciser cette perspective en prenant en compte la multiplicité des types de patriarcat et les crises que ceux-ci peuvent traverser : les rapports de domination sont faits de tensions, de lutte, de résistance et de compromis. Il faut également la sociologiser en l'inscrivant dans la complexité des rapports de hiérarchie, de soumission, de dépendance et d'exploitation qui lient les groupes humains, et enfin, de ce qui s'est joué et se joue encore entre le Nord et le Sud depuis les entreprises coloniales (Sonia Dayan Herzbrun). Comme " gardiennes de la maison ", les femmes emploient, à divers niveaux, différentes tactiques et stratégies pour contester les rapports de pouvoir qui existent, pour créer leur propre espace et pour développer leurs intérêts (Parvin Ghorayshi). Il faut que la loi enregistre qu'une femme, ça peut dire " je ", mais, précisément, c'est sans doute dans la phrase " un enfant, si je veux, quand je veux " que le " je " d'une femme s'entend de la manière la plus audible qui soit (M. B. Tahon).
