POLITIQUE AFRICAINE N-088-Libéria,Sierra Leone, Guinée : la régionalisation de la guerre
L'apparition d'un mouvement insurgé de l'Ouest dans la crise ivoirienne à l'automne 2002, où la forte présence de combattants libériens fait peu de doute, n'est peut-être pas l'ultime développement d'une série de conflits civils qui, depuis plus de dix ans, ont déchiré le Libéria, la Sierra Leone et, de façon plus épisodique, certaines zones de la Guinée. En contrepoint à une analyse centrée sur l'avidité des rebelles et la quête des diamants, ou à une vision de l'intervention internationale salvatrice, l'étude de ces conflits met en lumière d'autres facettes qui peuvent servir à une meilleure compréhension des conditions de la paix et à une normalisation moins fragile que celle dont bénéficie aujourd'hui la Sierra Leone.
Youth, Nationalism, and the Guinean Revolution
How youth-centered ambitions destroyed the ideals of nationhood in Guinea
Guinea
Guinea is rich, both materially and culturally, with the world's largest bauxite reserves, gold, diamonds and iron ore. It abounds in culture and traditions and has a remarkable, if often turbulent, history. Guinea is also exceptional in that it was the first French colony proudly to declare its independence, in 1958. Thereafter, the country suffered under the tyranny of Sekou Toure. Today, headed for the first time by an elected president, Guineans are trying to put their troubled past behind them and fulfil the promise of a decent life for all. It will not be easy. Tens of thousands perished in the years of chaos and even more human potential continues to go to waste. Guinea is the classic...
A Socialist Peace?
For the last twenty years, the West African nation of Guinea has exhibited all the characteristics that have correlated with civil wars in other countries, and Guineans themselves regularly talk about the inevitability of war tearing their country apart. Yet the country has narrowly avoided civil conflict again and again. Mike McGovern asks how this was possible, how a nation could beat the odds and evade civil war. All six of Guinea's neighbors have experienced civil war or separatist insurgency in the past twenty years. Guinea itself has similar makings for it. It is rich in resources, yet its people are some of the poorest in the world. Its political situation is polarized by fiercely com...
Discourse
Discourse is not just a means of expressing thought; it is also an autonomous body, an act through which we aim to achieve a certain effect. Modern linguistics proposes a broader definition of discourse, as a discrete and unique enunciative process, where the speaker or author makes language concrete through speech (in the Saussurian sense), and describes the various acts (oral, illocutionary, perlocutionary) that discourse performs. This book examines discourse, an object of analysis and criticism, from a wide range of perspectives. Among the concepts explored are the contributions of rhetoric in the art of discourse, the evolution of multiple approaches and the main methods of discourse analysis conducted by a variety of researchers. The book deepens our knowledge and understanding of discourse, a concept on which any research related to information and communication can be based.
Bonne Nouvelle pour les Peuls
Dans cet ouvrage, Fara Daniel Tolno s’interroge sur les enjeux de l’évangélisation des Peuls musulmans du Fouta-Djallon en République de Guinée. L’approche de cette réflexion suit le modèle de contextualisation critique de Paul Hiebert et analyse la culture, la vision du monde et l’identité peule afin de comprendre comment communiquer l’Évangile de manière pertinente pour le contexte peul. Ce travail de recherche missiologique revient sur l’histoire de l’évangélisation des Peuls et réévalue les approches utilisées. Il met en lumière des pistes concrètes pour l’évangélisation et l’implantation d’Églises parmi les Peuls aujourd’hui et intègre la vision peule du monde (le pulaaku) dans la réflexion sur la communication de l’Évangile. Ce volume a été publié en collaboration avec le Réseau évangélique de missiologues pour la francophonie (REMIF).
Apprendre, enseigner, acquérir
Ce volume de quatorze articles a pour objectif de faire le point aujourd’hui sur certaines recherches touchant les domaines de la prosodie et de la didactique. Il se trouve donc au carrefour de deux domaines qui n’ont pas souvent l’occasion de se rencontrer. L’hétérogénéité des préoccupations, signe de vitalité des deux disciplines, permet de défricher des terrains nouveaux. Certaines contributions sont plus franchement orientées vers la seule acquisition du langage et notamment du langage émergent, d’autres investissent plus nettement la didactique des langues et du français langue étrangère en particulier, d’autres enfin se mobilisent autour de la prosodie pour ana...
Child Soldiers, Adult Interests
This book weaves a narrative of the history of Sierra Leone, from its foundation as a settlement for black slaves who fought for the British Crown during the American Revolution through the events of the civil war, with a discussion of more general geopolitical lessons to be learned from the recent conflict, its origins, and settlement. In addition, the book contains six appendices that render the present work -- the first comprehensive history of Sierra Leone since the classic studies published more than a generation ago by Christopher Fyfe and John Peterson -- an invaluable reference on conflict resolution in general as well as the West African country in particular, including a chronology of select events in the history of Sierra Leone and the texts of the peace agreements and other post-conflict documents.
