Ethnographic Feminisms
This significant new study contains the work of anthropologists engaged in doing research on gender. The editors argue for the creation of an ethnography-based feminism that, at the same time, pays heed to what women in specific circumstances identify as their concerns and also recognizes contradictions inherent in the goals of a feminist anthropology. These essays grapple with a range of awkward issues, including feminism in international contexts, the invisibility of women's working lives, and the problems of voice and ethnographic representation. Referring to a variety of ethnographic contexts, and working from diverse perspectives, the contributors examine the multiple dilemmas and conflicts of gender and power.A volume which will not only constitute a significant contribution to the social sciences literature both theoretically and substantively, but will also place Canadian feminist anthropology on the cutting edge of global feminist anthropology. I strongly recommend it. Valda Blundell Carleton University

Écoloc, Gérer l'économie localement en Afrique : Evaluation et prospective N° 01 : Cadre conceptuel de l'approche ECOLOC, Document technique
Cette série consacrée à la décentralisation en Afrique de l'Ouest et à ses effets au niveau local, territorial et national, montre comment acteurs de tous bords et de tous niveaux impliqués dans un processus général peuvent participer à la relance de l'économie. À partir d'une démarche analytique et pragmatique basée sur des cas concrets (phase d'étude, une phase de dialogue social et de concertation, et une phase de promotion économique et de relance des activités), la décentralisation est étudiée au travers d'une soixantaine de documents téléchargeables. Véritable rupture par rapport aux pratiques du passé, la décentralisation en Afrique de l'Ouest a été étudiée dès 1977 sous l'égide du programme ECOLOC.
