State-Building and Multilingual Education in Africa
This book explains why many governments in Africa are including African languages alongside European languages as media of instruction in elementary schools. It argues that a number of factors have combined to make multilingual education attractive: France has changed its foreign policy toward its former colonies, language NGOs are transcribing more languages, and pressure toward democracy makes African leaders look for ways to divide the opposition.
Geopolitics of French in Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa
This book is comprehensive study of the geopolitical, geolinguistic, and geostrategic challenges facing France and the French language in post-independence Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa. It shows that, in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, France’s reputation and image are significantly damaged. France has been accused of neo-colonial behaviour because of its repeated political and military interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign countries, its support of unpopular governments, and its stranglehold over the finances, economies and resources of Francophone sub-Saharan Africa. The book also highlights that the challenges faced by the French language in the region are complex because ...
The Palgrave Handbook of African Social Ethics
This Handbook provides a robust collection of vibrant discourses on African social ethics and ethical practices. It focuses on how the ethical thoughts of Africans are forged within the context of everyday life, and how in turn ethical and philosophical thoughts inform day-to-day living. The essays frame ethics as a historical phenomenon best examined as a historical movement, the dynamic ethos of a people, rather than as a theoretical construct. It thereby offers a bold, incisive, and fresh interpretation of Africa’s ethical life and thought.
La francophonie des Pères fondateurs
Consacré aux premiers acteurs de la francophonie, cet ouvrage a pour objet de rappeler leur rôle dans la naissance de l'institution. Pour Habib Bourguiba, Diori Hamani ou Léopold Sédar Senghor, le français était une arme de résistance contre l'autorité coloniale. Une fois au pouvoir, ces hommes ont développé une politique linguisitque où le français avait toute sa place. Ils le concevaient davantage comme une langue de modernisation de leurs pays que comme une simple langue de travail. Leurs théories, leurs actions et leurs souhaits de constituer une francophonie institutionnelle ont préfiguré la mise en place des instances francophones.
Life Under the Baobab Tree
Life Under the Baobab Tree: Africana Studies and Religion in a Transitional Age is a compendium of innovating essays meticulously written by early and later diaspora people of African descent. Their speech arises from the depth of their experiences under the Baobab tree and offers to the world voices of resilience, newness/resurrection, hope, and life. Resolutely journeying on the trails of their ancestors, they speak about setbacks and forward-looking movements of liberation, social transformation, and community formation. The volume is a carefully woven conversation of intellectual substance and structure across time, space, and spirituality that is quintessentially “Africana” in its c...

Lingue romanze in Africa
Il volume prende spunto da una giornata di studi che ha avuto luogo presso Sapienza, Università di Roma nel maggio 2019. Riunisce specialisti di vari paesi, e parte dalla constatazione che gli studiosi che operano nelle varie aree della Romania africana (francese, portoghese e spagnola) soffrono di un eccessivo ed ingiustificato isolamento rispetto alle sfide complessive che il tema delle lingue romanze in Africa invece obbliga ad affrontare. Proprio in quest’ottica, il volume vuole favorire lo sviluppo di ricerche e analisi sempre più integrate e meno parcellizzate, a beneficio di una comprensione globale di fenomeni linguistici e sociali che condividono spazi e tempi di amplissima portata.
