The Hard Core of Poverty in Senegal
English Abstract: Departing from the limits of classical methods of measuring poverty, this paper introduces the profile of the core poverty in Senegal in order to circumvent E-F errors that infect poverty targeting. For this purpose, three poverty indicators based on expenditures, assets and relative deprivation are combined. The study highlights the multiple dimensions of poverty and shows that the phenomenon is widespread in Senegal: roughly two out of every eleven people lack monetary resources to satisfy basic needs and have difficulty achieving an adequate standard of living. Contrary to previous studies, the core poverty approach is very useful in diagnosing poverty in Senegal, as it ...
The Hard Core of Poverty in Senegal
Departing from the limits of classical methods of measuring poverty, this paper introduces the profile of the core poverty in Senegal in order to circumvent E-F errors that infect poverty targeting. For this purpose, three poverty indicators based on expenditures, assets and relative deprivation are combined. The study highlights the multiple dimensions of poverty and shows that the phenomenon is widespread in Senegal: roughly two out of every eleven people lack monetary resources to satisfy basic needs and have difficulty achieving an adequate standard of living. Contrary to previous studies, the core poverty approach is very useful in diagnosing poverty in Senegal, as it provides evidence of the vulnerability of women - in particular widows and divorcees - and the unskilled.
Le Noyau Dur De La Pauvreté AU Sénégal (Hard-Core Poverty in Senegal).
French Abstract: Partant des limites des instruments classiques dans la mesure de la pauvreté, l'étude introduit le concept de noyau dur pour contourner le problème d'inclusion-exclusion factice, en vue d'un meilleur ciblage des pauvres au Sénégal. Elle s'appuie sur une combinaison d'indicateurs de pauvreté monétaire avec ceux de patrimoine et de privation relative. L'analyse du noyau dur fait ressortir que deux ménages sur 11 manquent de moyens pour faire face à leurs besoins immédiats et éprouvent des difficultés à accéder à des conditions de vie adéquates. Pire, ces ménages n'ont aucune perspective de sortir de la précarité en raison de la faiblesse de leur de capital tant humain que physique. Par ailleurs, contrairement aux travaux antérieurs, l'étude montre une pauvreté sévit plus importante dans les ménages dirigés par des femmes (notamment les divorcées et veuves) ou par des personnes faible qualification professionnelle.
The Struggle for Meaning
"While the book's immediate concern is with Africa, the theoretical nature of its analyses and its bearing on postmodern theories of the "Other" will make this translation of great interest to many disciplines especially ethnic gender and multicultural studies."--BOOK JACKET.
Slavery, Resistance, and Identity in Early Modern West Africa
Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, more than fifteen million people were uprooted from West Africa and enslaved in the Trans-Saharan and Transatlantic slave systems The state of Gajaage, located on the West African hinterland, offered a doorway to the Atlantic Ocean and played a central role in the wide-scale trade system that connected the histories of Africa, the Americas, and Europe. Focussing on the Soninke of Gajaaga, Makhroufi Ousmane Traoré demonstrates how their resistance to the slave trades led to the formation of a united community bound by an awareness of identity. This original study expands our understanding of the various modes of resistance West Africans employed to stem the encroaching tide of Arab imperializing efforts, European mercantile capitalism, and the Atlantic slave trade, whilst also highlighting how ethnic and religious identities were constructed and mobilized in the region.
