Indian Africa: Minorities of Indian-Pakistani Origin in Eastern Africa
Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have minorities from the Indian sub-continent amongst their population. The East African Indians mostly reside in the main cities, particularly Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Mombasa, Kampala; they can also be found in smaller urban centres and in the remotest of rural townships. They play a leading social and economic role as they work in business, manufacturing and the service industry, and make up a large proportion of the liberal professions. They are divided into multiple socio-religious communities, but united in a mutual feeling of meta-cultural identity. This book aims at painting a broad picture of the communities of Indian origin in East Africa, striving to include changes that have occurred since the end of the 1980s. The different contributions explore questions of race and citizenship, national loyalties and cosmopolitan identities, local attachment and transnational networks. Drawing upon anthropology, history, sociology and demography, Indian Africa depicts a multifaceted population and analyses how the past and the present shape their sense of belonging, their relations with others, their professional and political engagement.
Doguicimi
Although a staunch supporter of French colonialism, Paul Hazoume's narrative captures the customs and traditions of Dahomey. This novel, set in the first half of the 19th century, depicts a pattern of war, slave trade and human sacrifice - practices that earned Dahomey a reputation for brutality.
Le rituel Nguon chez les Bamoun du Cameroun
Cette recherche en géographie sociale et culturelle porte sur Nguon, un grand festival et un rassemblement culturel multiséculaire des Bamoun au Cameroun. Avec des publics différenciés et dans des temporalités complémentaires mais distinctes, Nguon est à la fois un festival et une ritualisation de la coutume et du sacré du royaume bamoun, maintenu durant l'époque coloniale puis depuis l'avènement de la République du Cameroun. Le potentiel d'attractivité touristique naturel et patrimonial de ce territoire, le Noun, peut-il être exploité sans que la structure sociétale bamoun n'en soit trop déséquilibrée ?
Rêv'Evolution
Rêv'Evolution is a collection of thoughts written by different authors. Through several feathers, we get hooked on epic tales, noble thoughts, economics, politics, history... Beyond the cognitive, the social dominates the authors' vision, encouraging a general awareness. It is a valiant and strong youth that joins hands together, after becoming aware of their qualities and moral value. These authors refuse fate and do not surrender. Categorical refusal to suffer. Optimism to sell. Faith, devotion, positivism. These young men and women strongly reject introspection, intuition, and any metaphysical approach. These young people rely essentially on verified facts to paint the world as it is, between dreams and evolution of their condition; for a better future...

A unique contemporary portrait of an influential, multicultural ...
Madman at Kilifi
Clifton Gachagua’s collection Madman at Kilifi, winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, concerns itself with the immediacy of cultures in flux, cybercommunication and the language of consumerism, polyglot politics and intrigue, sexual ambivalence and studied whimsy, and the mind of a sensitive, intelligent, and curious poet who stands in the midst of it all. Gachagua’s is a world fully grounded in the postmodern Kenyan cultural cauldron, a world in which people speak with “satellite mouths,” with bodies that are “singing machines,” and in which the most we can do is “collide against each other.” Here light is graceful, and we glow like undiscovered galaxies and shifting matter. And here as well, we find new expression in a poetry that moves as we do.
