Crude Existence
After decades of civil war and instability, the African country of Angola is experiencing a spectacular economic boom thanks to its most valuable natural resource: oil. But oil extraction--both on- and offshore--is a toxic remedy for the country's economic ills, with devastating effects on both the environment and traditional livelihoods. Focusing on the everyday realities of people living in the extraction zones, Kristin Reed explores the exclusion, degradation, and violence that are the fruits of petrocapitalism in Angola.
Secessionism in African Politics
Secessionism perseveres as a complex political phenomenon in Africa, yet often a more in-depth analysis is overshadowed by the aspirational simplicity of pursuing a new state. Using historical and contemporary approaches, this edited volume offers the most exhaustive collection of empirical studies of African secessionism to date. The respected expert contributors put salient and lesser known cases into comparative perspective, covering Biafra, Katanga, Eritrea and South Sudan alongside Barotseland, Cabinda, and the Comoros, among others. Suggesting that African secessionism can be understood through the categories of aspiration, grievance, performance, and disenchantment, the book's analytical framework promises to be a building block for future studies of the topic.

Courage politique et gestion africaine de crise
Quels types de courage mobiliser pour pouvoir habiter humainement la terre dans ce contexte de crise du politique que complique la crise sanitaire avec son fond de décadence spirituelle à manifestation axiologique ? Pour affronter cette question, l’ouvrage débute avec une synthèse de l’histoire philosophique du courage ainsi que des vertus théologales, morales et politiques du parrhèsiaste socratique et du nomothète aristotélicien chez Gaëlle Jeanmart et al.. Il se poursuit discursivement en posant les jalons d’une réponse spirituelle et institutionnelle de l’Afrique à la crise. D’une part, par la médiation du courage proto-chrétien, en ses fondements et potentiels politiques, reniés par l’élite intellectuelle occidentale, mais où l’auteur voit pourtant la chance de l’Afrique des peuples. D’autre part, via un modèle de gestion concertée de la crise sanitaire étant susceptible de mobiliser administrations et populations locales nationales ; le tout, sur un fond d’idéologie d’urbanisation.
