Au milieu des années 1960, en Centrafrique, le pays banda connaît une formidable effervescence anti-fétichiste. Un jeune homme appelé Ngoutidé se lance dans une entreprise de destruction ostentatoire d'objets cultuels et appelle à se convertir au christianisme. Pour les missionnaires qui en furent les témoins, l'envergure de cette oeuvre iconoclaste évoque celle d'un "incendie de brousse" brûlant les "fétiches" et les symboles des anciens cultes initiatiques de la société banda. Cinquante ans après la retombée du mouvement et la disparition de son inspirateur, Ngoutidé continue d'être loué comme prophète dans une région où la précarité et l'insécurité contribuent à réactiver l'imaginaire de la sorcellerie et la violence des accusations de l'autre mortifére. Pour les Banda, le danger sorcellaire est l'expression d'une dépossession culturelle des savoirs et des pouvoirs traditionnels qui permettaient à leurs ancêtres de composer avec les forces de l'invisible. Ce discours de la dépossession met en lumière l'ambivalence de la glorification posthume du "plus grand des Banda", pourtant tenu pour responsable de l'éradication des coutumes anciennes. Cet ouvrage invite à comprendre le rôle capital des représentations contemporaines de la sorcellerie dans la vision que les Centrafricains se font de leur propre histoire au sein des conflits identitaires actuels. A partir d'enquêtes ethnographiques menées en Centrafrique et de matériaux d'archives inédits, cet ouvrage revient sur l'histoire de l'entreprise missionnaire en Afrique équatoriale et illustre, à la lumière de la trajectoire de mouvements prophétiques de la région, les changements intervenus dans les représentations de la sorcellerie, des débuts de la rencontre coloniale à l'insécurité et à la violence qui règnent aujourd'hui en Centrafrique.

En République centrafricaine, la sorcellerie est une explication privilégiée du malheur et de la maladie. Elle est punie par le Code Pénal et fait l’objet de débats et d’initiatives de répression. Parmi les Banda – qui peuplent massivement la région centrale de la Centrafrique – les initiatives de lutte et les discours sur la sorcellerie sont strictement liés aux représentations lcoales du passé et de la tradition. La population banda déploie un discours de lamentation autour des trajectoires d dépossession qui sépareraient le présent de privation d’un passe – opportunément mystifié – de plénitude. La prolifération des pratiques et des discours sur la sorcellerie se nourrit de références aux connaissances traditionnelles des anciennes associations fermées, et aux pouvoirs mystiques des aïeux, qui leur auraient permis de contrecarrer efficacement les forces de la sorcellerie. La rhétorique de la dépossession, en dénonçant un appauvrissement par rapport au passé, interprète les manifestations modernes de la sorcellerie équatoriale à la lumière de ces procédés de réinvention de la tradition. La dépossession est donc une stratégie rhétorique et l’ensemble de représentations émiques sur le passé récent. Aujourd’hui, de nombreux guérisseurs banda s’inspirent de la figure initiatrice du prophète Ngoutidé – qui dans les années 60 brûla les « fétiches » et les lieux cultuels des anciennes associations fermées banda au nom du catholicisme. Cependant, une fiction semble soutenir la glorification rétrospective de Ngoutidé : en détruisant les symboles des anciens cultes, le prophète et la population, qui a accepté son message de conversion, seraient les vrais responsables de la dépossession dénoncée avec insistance dans les discours actuels sur la sorcellerie. L’antinomie qui soutient ce discours local est l’objet de cette recherche.

This open access book presents fresh ethnographic work from the regions of Africa and Melanesia—where the popularity of charismatic Christianity can be linked to a revival and transformation of witchcraft. The volume demonstrates how the Holy Spirit has become an adversary to the reconfirmed presence of witches, demons, and sorcerers as manifestations of evil. We learn how this is articulated in spiritual warfare, in crusades, and in healing or witch-killing raids. The contributors highlight what happens to phenomena that people address as locally specific witchcraft or sorcery when re-molded within the universalist Pentecostal demonology, vocabulary, and confrontational methodology.

Author of the groundbreaking The Question of Palestine, Edward Said has been America's most outspoken advocate for Palestinian self-determination. As these collected essays amply prove, he is also our most intelligent and bracingly heretical writer on affairs involving not only Palestinians but also the Arab and Muslim worlds and their tortuous relations with the West. "Solidly imbued with historical context and geopolitical conjecture...fresh, unpredictable, personal and incorruptible writing."—Boston Globe In The Politics of Dispossession, Said traces his people's struggle for statehood through twenty-five years of exile, from the PLO's bloody 1970 exile from Jordan through the debacle of the Gulf War and the ambiguous 1994 peace accord with Israel. As frank as he is about his personal involvement in that struggle, Said is equally unsparing in his demolition of Arab icons and American shibboleths. Stylish, impassioned, and informed by a magisterial knowledge of history and literature, The Politics of Dispossession is a masterly synthesis of scholarship and polemic that has the power to redefine the debate over the Middle East.

This edited collection, written by eleven leading specialists, examines the nineteenth-century commercial transition in West Africa: the ending of the Atlantic slave trade and the development of alternative forms of 'legitimate' trade, mainly in vegetable products. Approaching the subject from an African, rather than a European or American, perspective, the case studies consider the effects of transition on the African societies involved. They offer significant insights into the history of pre-colonial Africa and the slave trade, the origins of European imperialism, and longer-term issues of economic development in Africa.

The Dark Child is a vivid and graceful memoir of Camara Laye's youth in the village of Kouroussa, French Guinea, a place steeped in mystery. Laye marvels over his mother's supernatural powers, his father's distinction as the village goldsmith, and his own passage into manhood, which is marked by animistic beliefs and bloody rituals. Eventually, he must choose between this unique place and the academic success that lures him to distant cities. More than autobiography of one boy, this is the universal story of sacred traditions struggling against the encroachment of a modern world. A passionate and deeply affecting record, The Dark Child is a classic of African literature.
