  • L'incomplétude du sujet africain

    Francis Nyamnjoh, Francis B Nyamnjoh et al.ARTICLEPolitique africaine2017Cited by: 1References: 1

    Au cours de la crise ivoirienne, des îlots de paix quotidienne sont apparus, ont perduré et même grandi dans des espaces ruraux et urbains, et ce, même si elles ne pouvaient rivaliser avec l’arsenal supérieur des militaires.

Elles soulèvent des questions empiriques essentiel…

    We cannot imagine life now without a mobile phone' is a frequent comment when Africans are asked about mobile phones. They have become part and parcel of the communication landscape in many urban and rural areas of Africa and the growth of mobile telephony is amazing: from 1 in 50 people being users in 2000 to 1 in 3 in 2008. Such growth is impressive but it does not even begin to tell us about the many ways in which mobile phones are being appro…

    P Geschiere, Francis Nyamnjoh et al.ARTICLEAfrican Studies Review1998Cited by: 49References: 9

However, these relations, marked by an explosive mixture of intimacy and inequality, continue also to be a hotbed for witchcraft rumors. In this article we compare two different cases, from different …

    The development of elite associations has been a consequence of the growth of multi-partyism and the weakening of authoritarian state control in Cameroon in the 1990s. The attachment of electoral votes and rights of citizenship to belonging to ethnicised regions has encouraged the formal distinction between 'natives' and 'strangers' in the creation of a politics of belonging. The article argues that this development has also led to the replacemen…
