Le parcours de chercheur de Jean-Pierre Chauveau, aussi foisonnant que cohérent, suffirait à justifier l'hommage d'un livre. Au cours de plus de quarante années de recherches, d'enseignements et de débats scientifiques, il a, dans les échanges directs comme par ses écrits, influencé la façon de penser d'une foule de chercheurs et de praticiens du développement. Ses travaux ont jalonné la réflexion sur des dimensions structurantes des processus de développement et de construction mutuelle de la société civile et de l'État en Afrique sub-saharienne. Loin de la paraphrase ou de l'évocation hagiographique, les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent des mises en dialogue et en débat des analyses de Jean-Pierre Chauveau, parfois aussi des témoignages d'une rencontre marquante. Écrites par des chercheurs d'horizons divers, elles partagent avec leur inspirateur cette curiosité inépuisable pour la dynamique des sociétés africaines confrontées à la "mécanique" du développement, mais aussi, parfois, un certain émoi pour le temple d'un torero, les rebonds voluptueux d'une rumba ou ceux, plus capricieux, du ballon ovale. Cette suite de conversations avec l'oeuvre de Jean-Pierre Chauveau aborde, sur le registre scientifique, sans négliger celui de la "parenté à plaisanterie" qu'il manie avec art, les principales thématiques qui ont balisé une oeuvre dense et multiforme dans les champs de l'anthropologie historique, politique et économique, des études ivoiriennes et africaines, du développement, de l'innovation et de la gouvernance des ressources naturelles. Plus qu'un simple hommage, cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs et étudiants en sciences sociales, aux praticiens du développement et aux décideurs politiques que ces questions intéressent.

Eyolf Jul-Larsen est anthropologue à l'Institut Chr. Michelsen de Bergen (Norvège), se recherches ont porté sur les^pêcheries en Afrique de l'Ouest et s'intéressent plus largement aux conflits et à la gouvernance des ressources naturelles en Afrique ; Pierre-Joseph Laurent est anthropologue, il mène ses recherches en Afrique ; Pierre-Joseph Laurent est anthropologue, il mène ses recherches au Burkina Faso et au Cap-Vert et dirige le laboratoire d'anthropologie prospective à l'Université catholique de Louvain ; Pierre-Yves Le Meur est anthropologue à l'IRD en Nouvelle-Calédonie, il a longtemps travaillé en Afrique de l'Ouest (Bénin) avant de se tourner vers le Pacifique, sur les thèmes du foncier, de la mine, des savoirs locaux et du politique ; Eric Léonard, spécialiste de la Côte d'Ivoire et du Mexique, est socio-économiste à l'IRD, et ses recherches portent sur le foncier, les politiques publiques et l'historie agraire. Tous les quatre ont travaillé avec Jean-Pierre Chauveau dans le cadre de programmes de recherche traitant de la pêche artisanale, du foncier, des dispositifs du développement ; ils ont aussi publié avec lui et même partagé quelques parties de pétanque.

"Bringing together a wide diversity of authors based on three continents and from different disciplinary backgrounds, this book offers analyses of a wide range of factors that characterize and that are shaping the future of the African Sahel. In forty chapters, organized in nine sections, the book examines this complex and rapidly changing region on multiple dimensions. Collectively, the book attempts to offer an understanding of the specificity of the Sahel, and to examine its core characteristics as shaped by the geographic, cultural, and political parameters that define it. Following a series of chapters focused on the shaping of the Sahelian space as a region, six chapters explore the distinct national trajectories of the countries of the political Sahel: Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad. The extraordinary combination of environmental, economic and political challenges, and the ways in which Sahelian states and societies have responded, are the primary focus of the three subsequent sections, while the various parameters of the lived realities of these societies in motion are explored in the four final sections of the book. Transversally throughout, the chapters aim to offer an interdisciplinary and holistic view of the challenges and the dynamics that are shaping a region at an historical crossroads, and an understanding of the many factors that feed and perpetuate its vulnerabilities and fragilities, as well as its sources of resilience"--

An ethnographic study of issues of land rights, property regimes, and ethnicity in West Africa. Focusing on an area of the savannah in northern Ghana and southwestern Burkina Faso, Land, Mobility, and Belonging in West Africa explores how rural populations have secured, contested, and negotiated access to land and how they have organized their communities despite being constantly on the move as farmers or migrant laborers. Carola Lentz seeks to understand how those who claim native status hold sway over others who are perceived to have come later. As conflicts over land, agriculture, and labor have multiplied in Africa, Lentz shows how politics and power play decisive roles in determining access to scarce resources and in changing notions of who belongs and who is a stranger. “Illuminates the distinctive historical trajectory of land claims, authority, and belonging among the Dagara and Sisala peoples of the Black Volta region, and locates this specific case history within broader debates over transformation in access, use, and control over land in colonial and postcolonial Africa.” —Sara Berry, Johns Hopkins University “Important in the sense that it constitutes a detailed historical study of how complex narratives of belonging and notions of property interlock. . . . It is academic work of the first order.” —Christian Lund, Roskilde University

Friendship, descent and alliance are basic forms of relatedness that have received unequal attention in social anthropology. Offering new insights into the ways in which friendship is conceptualized and realized in various sub-Saharan African settings, the contributions to this volume depart from the recent tendency to study friendship in isolation from kinship. In drawing attention to the complexity of the interactions between these two kinds of social relationships, the book suggests that analyses of friendship in Western societies would also benefit from research that explores more systematically friendship in conjunction with kinship.

As the most comprehensive edited volume to be published on perpetrators and perpetration of mass violence, the volume sets a new agenda for perpetrator research by bringing together contributions from such diverse disciplines as political science, sociology, social psychology, history, anthropology and gender studies, allowing for a truly interdisciplinary discussion of the phenomenon of perpetration. The cross-case nature of the volume allows the reader to see patterns across case studies, bringing findings from inter alia the Holocaust, the genocides in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, and the civil wars in Cambodia and Côte d’Ivoire into conversation with each other. The chapters of this volume are united by a common research interest in understanding what constitutes perpetrators as actors, what motivates them, and how dynamics behind perpetration unfold. Their attention to the interactions between disciplines and cases allows for the insights to be transported into more abstract ideas on perpetration in general. Amongst other aspects, they indicate that instead of being an extraordinary act, perpetration is often ordinary, that it is crucial to studying perpetrators and perpetration not from looking at the perpetrators as actors but by focusing on their deeds, and that there is a utility of ideologies in explaining perpetration, when we differentiate them more carefully and view them in a more nuanced light. This volume will be vital reading for students and scholars of genocide studies, human rights, conflict studies and international relations.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Ivory Coast was touted as an African miracle, a poster child for modernization and the ways that Western aid and multinational corporations would develop the continent. At the same time, Marxist scholars—most notably Samir Amin—described the capitalist activity in Ivory Coast as empty, unsustainable, and incapable of bringing real change to the lives of ordinary people. To some extent, Amin’s criticisms were validated when, in the 1980s, the Ivorian economy collapsed. In African Miracle, African Mirage, Abou B. Bamba incorporates economics, political science, and history to craft a bold, transnational study of the development practices and intersecting colonial cultures that continue to shape Ivory Coast today. He considers French, American, and Ivorian development discourses in examining the roles of hydroelectric projects and the sugar, coffee, and cocoa industries in the country’s boom and bust. In so doing, he brings the agency of Ivorians themselves to the fore in a way not often seen in histories of development. Ultimately, he concludes that the “maldevelopment” evident by the mid-1970s had less to do with the Ivory Coast’s “insufficiently modern” citizens than with the conflicting missions of French and American interests within the context of an ever-globalizing world.

The volume Environmental Change and African Societies contributes to current debates on global climate change from the perspectives of the social sciences and the humanities. It charts past and present environmental change in different African settings and also discusses policies and scenarios for the future. The first section, “Ideas”, enquires into local perceptions of the environment, followed by contributions on historical cases of environmental change and state regulation. The section “Present” addresses decision-making and agenda-setting processes related to current representations and/or predicted effects of climate change. The section “Prospects” is concerned with contemporary African megatrends. The authors move across different scales of investigation, from locally-grounded ethnographic analyses to discussions on continental trends and international policy. Contributors are: Daniel Callo-Concha, Joy Clancy, Manfred Denich, Sara de Wit, Ton Dietz, Irit Eguavoen, Ben Fanstone, Ingo Haltermann, Laura Jeffrey, Emmanuel Kreike, Vimbai Kwashirai, James C. McCann, Bertrand F. Nero, Jonas Ø. Nielsen, Erick G. Tambo, Julia Tischler.

This handy, concise book covers the life of Mary Douglas, one of the most important anthropologists of the second half of the 20th century. Her work focused on how human groups classify one another, and how they resolve the anomalies that then arise. Classification, she argued, emerges from practices of social life, and is a factor in all deep and intractable human disputes. This biography offers an introduction to how her distinctive approach developed across a long and productive career and how it applies to current pressing issues of social conflict and planetary survival. From the Preface: The influence of Professor Dame Mary Douglas (1921-2007) upon each of the social sciences and many of the disciplines in the humanities is vast. The list of her works is also vast, and this presents a problem of choice for the many readers who want to get a general idea of what she wrote and its significance, but who are somewhat baffled about where to begin. Our book offers a short overview and suggests why her key writings remain significant today.
