Catholic Women of Congo-Brazzaville
Catholic Women of Congo-Brazzaville explores the changing relationship between women and the Catholic Church from the establishment of the first mission stations in the late 1880s to the present. Phyllis M. Martin emphasizes the social identity of mothers and the practice of motherhood, a prime concern of Congolese women, as they individually and collectively made sense of their place within the Church. Martin traces women's early resistance to missionary overtures and church schools, and follows their relationship with missionary Sisters, their later embrace of church-sponsored education, their participation in popular Catholicism, and the formation of women's fraternities. As they drew together as mothers and sisters, Martin asserts, women began to affirm their place in a male-dominated institution. Covering more than a century of often turbulent times, this rich and readable book examines an era of far-reaching social change in Central Africa.
Leisure and Society in Colonial Brazzaville
This book is the first comprehensive study of leisure in an African colonial city.
Résistances à la pénétration et la conquête coloniale au Congo (XIXe-XXe siècles)
Les résistances à la domination et la conquête coloniale font partie intégrante de l'histoire congolaise. La période allant de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'au début du XXe siècle a été riche d'événements : l'expansion coloniale, la mise en place du système concessionnaire, l'introduction de l'impôt de capitation, le travail forcé, le portage, la construction du chemin de fer et l'éveil du nationalisme. Ces événements seront à la l'origine de la remise en cause du système colonial sous diverses formes de contestation à l'ordre établi. Il y a une nécessité de faire une relecture de l'histoire des mouvements de résistance à la pénétration, la conquête et la dominatio...
The Palgrave Handbook of African Education and Indigenous Knowledge
This handbook explores the evolution of African education in historical perspectives as well as the development within its three systems–Indigenous, Islamic, and Western education models—and how African societies have maintained and changed their approaches to education within and across these systems. African education continues to find itself at once preserving its knowledge, while integrating Islamic and Western aspects in order to compete within this global reality. Contributors take up issues and themes of the positioning, resistance, accommodation, and transformations of indigenous education in relationship to the introduction of Islamic and later Western education. Issues and themes raised acknowledge the contemporary development and positioning of indigenous education within African societies and provide understanding of how indigenous education works within individual societies and national frameworks as an essential part of African contemporary society.
Assessment of Development Results, Republic of the Congo
The ADR Republic of the Congo covered the period from 2004-2007 and has supported the process of developing the new country program 2009-2013. The evaluation report concludes that the UNDP has made judicious decisions in the selection of its areas of intervention but it is now time to question the pertinence of continuing post-conflict type of activities beyond the current program cycle. The evaluation recommends that the next country program should build upon the demonstrated comparative advantages of UNDP in the Congo, namely its support for good governance, its pro-poor and community development approach, its regional approach to environmental issues and its strong advocacy capability. It should gradually phase out activities directly related to the post-conflict period and peace building should become the underlying theme for most activities.--Publisher's description.

Loisirs et société à Brazzaville pendant l'ère coloniale
Quel sens et quelles forment acquiert la vie en dehors du lieu de travail ? Ce livre illustre l'importance des activités de loisirs en ce qui concerne le bien-être individuel, la formation de liens sociaux, la création de nouvelles identités et l'humanisation de la vie quotidienne. Les villes coloniales, où les conditions de vie étaient particulières et parfois difficiles, offrent un environnement privilégié pour l'observation de ces phénomènes. Le siège de cette étude est Brazzaville, alors capitale coloniale de l'Afrique Equatoriale française.
Brazzaville, une ville à reconstruire
Au cours du XXe siècle, Brazzaville a joué un rôle fondamental dans l'éveil social et politique des Africains. En janvier 1944, la conférence de Brazzaville, voulue par le Général de Gaulle, traça les perspectives qui allaient mener à la loi-cadre dé 1956 et aux indépendances. Du côté des Congolais, la multiplication des réactions politico-religieuses, les protestations des " évolués " face au code de l'indigénat, les revendications des salariés ont trouvé un remarquable champ d'action à Brazzaville. La liberté d'association et les campagnes électorales successives pour la participation des Brazzavillois aux assemblées métropolitaines et locales ont favorisé l'émerg...
