Ancestors from the East, Spirits from the West. Surviving and Reconfiguring the Exogenous Violence of Global Encounters in the Sahel
The Sahel possesses an outstanding history as an arena of social, political, economic, cultural and interethnic interrelations and conflicts. This is visible notably in foundation narratives that exist all over the region, staking claims to an ancestor from the Islamic East. This widespread phenomenon intersects interestingly with a cult of spirit possession like hawka, originating in the oral culture of Arewa in East-Central Niger, formally reno…
Africans and the Politics of Popular Culture
Niger and Sarraounia
Used generically, Sarraounia (Hausa for “queen” or “female chief”) may designate various functions of female leadership. Among the Azna of Lougou, Bagagi, and surrounding Hausa villages and towns of the Mawri group—predominantly animist until recently—this title refers especially to a female lineage that held noncentralized political and religious authority. But religious authority has long become the only remaining, and contested, prerogative of…
Myths of a New World in Édouard Glissant's novels La Lézarde and Le Quatrième siècle

Seen from the Caribbean and from the vision of its writers, these are some of the characteristics of a complex "New World" whose m…
Language use and literary onomastics as markers of identity in the Nigérien novel
Nigérien literature written in French is not widely known outside of French-speaking Africa, and even there, only in certain milieus. This is due in part to its relative newness, dating from the beginning of independence, around 1960. However, the main reason concerns the low level of productivity. Moreover, many works remain at the level of manuscripts since access to publishing is not easy: local publishers are non-existent, while local printer…
Réformes politico-économiques au Kenya
Politico-ecomonic reforms in Kenya. The entrepreneurs' community prospects. Local entrepreneurs constitute at the same time a vigilant and active community in the processes of economic and political liberalization taking place in Kenya. The introduction of a multiparty system was marked by debates on the lack of transparency in the management of economic affairs, the vote-oriented tendency of which, led to the hardening of the political systems i…
