La Fondation de Libreville
La fondation de Libreville a orchestré maintes confusions qu'ont favorisées la mémoire populaire, les manuels d'histoire et certains intellectuels historiens. Pour une meilleure appréhension de la fondation de Libreville et de la construction territoriale du Gabon, ce livre examine minutieusement le contexte idéologique et propose une théorie géopolitique pour une lecture magistrale des faits géo-historiques. Ainsi, le recours à un modèle théorique d'analyse des espaces politiques ou des territoires étatiques permet-il à l'auteur de restituer, avec des éléments de clarification nécessaires, la fondation de Libreville dans le contexte idéologique de la lutte antiesclavagiste au milieu du XIXe siècle et le désir de la France de posséder des points d'appui au commerce et des points de relâche pour la flotte de guerre. Avec cet ouvrage, novateur et original, sonne une rupture épistémologique dans la méthodologie interprétative de l'histoire de Libreville comme espace matriciel du territoire du Gabon. Il y a là une contribution importante à l'écriture et à la connaissance de l'histoire de Libreville, en particulier, et du Gabon, en général.
Décentralisation et développement local au Gabon
"La décentralisation est un processus qui consiste pour l'État à transférer au profit des collectivités locales des compétences et les ressources correspondantes. D'une manière triviale, il s'agit d'un transfert de compétences et de moyens de l'État à des institutions distinctes de lui. Celles-ci bénéficient d'une autonomie de décision et d'un budget propres, sous la surveillance du ministère de l'Intérieur chargé de la décentralisation. Ce dernier vérifie simplement la légalité des actes émis par les collectivités locales. C'est pourquoi cette réflexion vise à interpeller les pouvoirs publics sur les pratiques et les enjeux de la décentralisation en rapport avec le ...
Libreville, la ville et sa région, 50 ans après Guy Lasserre
En 1958, Guy Lasserre publiait une étude sur l'aménagement urbain de Libreville. Depuis cette date, aucun autre ouvrage ne s'était penché scientifiquement sur la situation de la première ville du Gabon. C'est cette lacune que le GRESHS, un collectif d'enseignants et de chercheurs, sous la direction de Fidèle Allogho-Nkoghe, s'est attaché à combler. Un demi siècle après l'analyse de Guy Lasserre, de nombreuses constatations demeurent actuelles, notamment le défaut de politique d'aménagement et d'urbanisme de la ville. "Libreville, la ville et sa région, 50 ans après Guy Lasserre" propose une réflexion critique partant de cet état des lieux et fournit une série de suggestions et d'orientations stratégiques destinée à aider les pouvoir urbains dans leurs choix d'aménagements.

Reflections on Identity in Four African Cities
Identity has become the watchword of our times. In sub-Saharan Africa, this certainly appears to be true and for particular reasons. Africa is urbanising rapidly, cross-border migration streams are swelling and globalising influences sweep across the continent. Africa is also facing up to the challenge of nurturing emergent democracies in which citizens often feel torn between older traditional and newer national loyalties. Accordingly, collective identities are deeply coloured by recent urban as well as international experience and are squarely located within identity politics where reconciliation is required between state nation-building strategies and sub-national affiliations. They are a...
Encyclopedia of Antislavery and Abolition
The emergence of a sophisticated antislavery ideology and the rise of organized opposition to slavery in the Atlantic World in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries represented nothing less than one of the great intellectual and social revolutions in the history of the world. An institution which by the early eighteenth century was near axiomatically accepted as necessary, useful, and thoroughly in accord with Judaeo-Christian tenets and virtues and which profoundly informed the lives of millions of people had by the mid-nineteenth century come increasingly to be viewed as the chief vector of evil and the Devil in the world, the very quintessence of evil as some called it, and the chief re...
