Book Description
Que signifie bien vieillir en Afrique pour les personnes âgées vulnérables ? Quelle est notre responsabilité pour ces personnes fragiles quand la globalisation de l'économie mondiale, les flux migratoires vers les métropoles occidentales, le contrôle des matières premières par des puissances industrielles et la fermeture des frontières des nantis aux plus démunis tendent à mettre de côté la question de la vieillesse ? Quel type d'utopie aidera les Africains à promouvoir une vraie éthique de la compassion ? En effet, la question de la vieillesse en Afrique est avant tout une question existentielle et éthique, raison pour laquelle la solution ne passera pas par la pitié, la vénération, les soins médicaux, mais par la prise en compte de la justice. Celle-ci remet à l'ordre du jour la responsabilité, la sollicitude, la compassion et le problème du pacte intergénérationnel. En somme, à travers la vieillesse, il s'agit d'interroger les traditions africaines sur le vivre-ensemble, surtout dans la fragilité. Passant outre les divers dénis autour du problème de la vieillesse en Afrique, cet ouvrage pose – au regard des traditions africaines, en fonction de l'aventure coloniale, de la structuration des États postcoloniaux et de la présence d'ONG – cette question brûlante : qu'en est-il du devoir de prendre soin des sujets et des communautés dans notre postmodernité ? Et que veut-dire prendre soin en Afrique ? Embrassant les considérations anthropologiques et éthiques, l'auteur démontre comment la vulnérabilité des personnes âgées indique celle plus profonde des États, économies, et sociétés africaines.

Book Description
In Africa, the twenty-first century began with new challenges surrounding and regarding philosophical discourses. Questions of economic and political liberation, the displacement of populations and the process of urbanization present ongoing challenges, linked to problems such as endemic diseases and famine, the restructure of the traditional family, gender and the position of women, the transmission of culture from past to future generations. Changes in labor relations resulting from introduction of financial speculation, cutting edge technologies, and differential access to digital and older cultural forms have placed real demands on Africans and Africanists working in philosophy. This volume explores the ways in which African philosophies express “transitional acts,” those acts by which thought interacts with history as it is being made and by which it assures its own renewal in proposing provisional solutions to historical problems. A transitional act combines both the audacity of confrontation and the novelty of creation, prudence in the face of risks and anticipation in the face of the unexpected. Influential and emerging thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic consider this dual activity in the realm of criticism and imagination, public spaces in Africa, and the relationship between historical politics and historical poetics.

Book Description
A pioneering collection of essays that casts “an invigorating light on law, politics, public language and social practice in modern Africa” (Africa). Jean Godefroy Bidima’s La Palabre examines the traditional African institution of palaver as a way to create dialogue and open exchange in an effort to resolve conflict and promote democracy. In the wake of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and the gacaca courts in Rwanda, Bidima offers a compelling model of how to develop an African public space where dialogue can combat misunderstanding. This volume, which includes other essays on legal processes, cultural diversity, memory, and the internet in Africa, offers English-speaking readers the opportunity to become acquainted with a highly original and important postcolonial thinker. “Bidima has done a very important work here which deserves the critical attention of philosophers, political theorists, legal scholars as well the general public.” —Journal of Modern African Studies “Opens promising vistas for legal and political discourse. Its multidisciplinary orientation and the erudition of the author make for a text that has crossover appeal.” —Olúfémi Táíwò, Cornell University “Presents a valuable philosophical argument that will most certainly be of interest to those working on the topics of postconflict justice, peacebuilding, and democratization in Africa.” —African Conflict and Peacebuilding Review

The goal for ergonomics has always been to adapt work, work environments, and machines to humans. But is this goal still sufficient?

Book Description
Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Book Description
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book Cheyfitz charts the course of American imperialism from the arrival of Europeans in a New World open for material and rhetorical cultivation to the violent foreign ventures of twentieth-century America in a Third World judged equally in need of cultural translation. Passionately and provocatively, he reads James Fenimore Cooper and Leslie Marmon Silko, Frederick Douglass, and Edgar Rice Burroughs within and against the imperial framework. At the center of the book is Shakespeare's "Tempest," at once transfiguring the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown and prefiguring much of American literature. In a new, final chapter, Cheyfitz reaches back to the representations of Native Americans produced by the English decades before the establishment of the Jamestown colony.
