The Africanization of the Labor Market: Educational and Occupational Segmentations in the Cameroun
Le problème de la discrimination raciale dans les établissements scolaires américains: (À propos d’un ouvrage d’Anthony Amsterdam et Jerome Bruner)
Le présent article, réalisé à partir de l’ouvrage d’Amsterdam et Bruner Minding the law a pour objet le problème de la discrimination raciale aux Etats-Unis à partir de l’analyse des différents arrêts rendus par la Cour Suprême, afin de déterminer leur valeur objective ainsi que leur portée juridique. L’ouvrage concerné consiste à analyser, d’une part, le contenu des arrêts et, d’autre part, leur application dans la société américaine afin d’éval…
Frères jumeaux, frères ennemis: Les trajectoires littéraires divergentes des œuvres de Tocqueville et de Beaumont
L'essai Démocratie en Amérique a rendu Alexis de Tocqueville célèbre des deux côtés de l’Oétan Allantique. En revanche. Marie ou l'esclavage aux États-Unis n'a pas permis à Gustave de Beaumont, son auteur et compagnon de Tocqueville au cours de l'expédition américaine, de connaître un sort aussi illustre. Publiée pour la première fois en 1835, cettc œuvre a connu cinq éditions en sept ans, pour disparaître entre 1845 ct aujourd'hui

Independent Inventions in the Social Sciences: A Plea for Multidisciplinarity
This research note examines a historical example of independent inventions in the social sciences—specifically, convergences between sociological and cognitive psychological research on ambiguous stimuli. During the same year (1949), psychologists Bruner and Postman experimented with perceptual responses to "freak," or anomalous, playing cards, while sociologist Hughes identified patterns of human responses to "anomalous" social identities and ro…

On the Ambiguities of A Sociological Analysis of the Culture of Narcissism
This article is devoted to an analysis of three sets of ambiguities underlying sociological analyses of the new culture of narcissism. The first set concerns the differential importance of childhood experiences and the contradictory cultural norms that regulate the placement of the adult self in time and space. The second set concerns the problem of whether these contradictions result from the structural characteristics of post-industrial societi…

The Three Worlds of Development
Family, Fertility, and Economics [and Comments and Reply]
Family, fertility, and economics are inextricably intertwined. Yet despite intensive investigation, the interdependencies among these phenomena remain elusive. Expectations based on cross-cultural research and the theory of industrial society are contradicted by studies from throughout the industrial and industrializing world. Foundamental conceptual errors underlie these difficulties. This paper indicates how the interdependencies among family, …
Modernisation and Football in Cameroun
It is known that the forms of physical education practised among ancient Greek communities reflected the differential importance attached to military and artistic activities.1 Similarly, today, variations in the relative pre-eminence of collective over individual sports are likely to reflect contrasts in the socio-economic and cultural profiles of contemporary societies.2 Moreover, modes of social participation in a particular game should be affe…
Urbanization, plural marriage, and family size in two African cities1
In this article we examine the degree to which two facets of traditional familial arrangements, plural marriage and familism (as measured by number of children), continue to be closely interrelated in the African urban context. We demonstrate that urbanization is, in effect, associated with changes in the number of choices available to male urban residents with regard to their familial life-style, but not necessarily with changes in the nature of…
Accra and Abidjan: A Comparative Examination of the Theory of Increase in Scale
Ethnicity and Fertility: Implications for Population Programs in Africa
Opening ParagraphWhether public policies concerning family planning involve legislative or educational programs, their impact depends upon an analysis of patterns of family formation. But to merely identify the direction and the magnitude of overall aggregate trends in this regard is insufficient. While programs of family planning aim at satisfying the requirements of a national and hence uniform policy, their success depends upon a problematic l…
Household Work as an Ordeal: Culture of Standards Versus Standardization of Culture
Some feminist authors assert that household work is inexorably debasing for women. This paper questions that hypothesis on both theoretical and methodological grounds by exploring (a) ambiguities in the links between patriarchy and capitalism and (b) the meanings of housework across cultural and historical settings. A research agenda is proposed in which it is suggested that housework is both an ordeal of civility through which individuals judge …
Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterley's Lover as Social Problems: The 'Natural History' of Immoral Novels
The “careers” of the charges of obscenity formulated against Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterley are compared, in order to identify the dual aspect of the concept of natural history as it applies to the study of social problems. At a microlevel, natural history refers to the variable outcome of the negotiations which take place between the initial claimants, the relevant public agencies and the individuals accused of wrongdoing. At a macrolevel, na…
The Variability of Paradigms in the Production of Culture: A Comparison of the Arts and Sciences
While artistic and scientific endeavors take place in the context of collective actions, the structures and the functions of these actions are highly variable. The purpose of this paper is to show that the cohesiveness and permeability of culture producing communities differ between artistic and scientific fields as well as across the specific disciplines constitutive of each field, and that these contrasts are not stable over time. Corresponding…

Coordination Styles and Economic Growth
Traditionally the problem of macroeconomic coordination has been discussed as being best done by either free-market competition or controlled planning. Such a formulation ignores several alternatives that societies can employ to encourage growth. Usually the argument for or against free-market competition has been fought on ideological grounds rather than by ascertaining whether it is most appropriate in some sectors of the economy rather than in…

Social Change and Type of Marriage
The present paper is concerned with an examination of the effects of urbanization on the distribution of polygynous and monogamous arrangements. Its main object, however, is not to assess the overall magnitude of the changes exerted by urbanization along these lines, but rather to investigate how this magnitude varies with the characteristics of urban subpopulations investigated, both with their level of participation in modern structures as meas…

Potential Elites in Ghana and the Ivory Coast a Preliminary Comparison
This study examines patterns of social recruitment in two highly selective systems of secondary education in two adjoining African states with differing colonial and educational traditions. Marked differentials occur between two groups of sampled students of roughly equivalent academic status in the two areas. Ghanaian students are iniformly drawn from higher socioeconomic groups than their Ivory Coast counterparts. However, in relation to popula…

Type of Marriage and Residential Choices in an African City
Scholars concerned with African familial institutions have more frequently assessed ethnic and social variations in the distribution of plural marriage than examined the behavioral implications attached to the distinction between monogamy and polygyny.' Yet, to count how many individuals marry more than one wife or to identify those who do so is meaningful only insofar as type of marriage makes a difference on life style, for example, on the numb…

Inadequacies of the Notion of Assimilation in African Education
Our understanding of educational processes is often obscured by ideological considerations. This is very well illustrated in the common term, 'assimilation', used to characterise European colonial policy towards Africa. Thus it is often asserted that French authorities promoted the emergence of a class of 'black Frenchmen', with values, aspirations, and cognitive styles analogous to those of European educational institutions. In contrast, the Bri…

Urbanization and Family Structure in the Ivory Coast
Urbanization may be viewed as a particular manifestation of social change. As such, it is often defined as a process leading originally distinct social systems to a common destination. As an example, it is supposed to facilitate the universal emergence of a European type of nuclear family. In this perspective, many scholars have been eager to determine the extent to which African patterns of familial behavior lose their traditional specific prope…
Ethnicité et emploi de bureau
Les chances de succès économique et social de divers groupes ethniques du même pays, au sein d'une société post coloniale et urbaine, dépendent de leurs facilités d'adaptation au changement , et reflètent les accidents historiques de leur processus de modernisation.

Traditionelle und Moderne Lebensstile in Afrika
Oft wurde in der Familiensoziologie behauptet, Urbanisierung und Industrialisierung führten zu einer Nuklearisierung der Familie1. In diesem Zusammenhang nimmt man an, daß städtische Haushalte identisch sind mit Kernfamilien, also solchen Sozialsystemen, die sich ausschließlich aus den folgenden drei Positionen konstituieren: Ehemann-Vater, Ehefrau-Mutter und Nachkommenschaft-Geschwister, wobei letztere unverheiratete Minderjährige sind2.

Meme les sciences sociales n'6chappent pas ais6ment au poids des pr6jug6s ethnocentriques et sociocentriques. Ainsi, les sociologues de la famille affirment-ils souvent qu'urbanisation et industrialisation ont pour corollaire la formation de groupes familiaux nucl6aires de type europ6en 1. Dans cette perspective, ces sociologues pr6disent l'avenement d'une famille monogame, d6tach6e socialement et affectivement de la famille 6tendue. En Afrique, …
