Le devenir de l'Afrique
Cet ouvrage doit sa naissance à un colloque avorté, dont le but était de rendre hommage à Marcien Towa et à Fabien Eboussi Boulaga en pensant le devenir de l’Afrique. Envisagé à l’université de Yaoundé I, les conditions n’ont pas pu être réunies pour la tenue de ce colloque. Nous avons ainsi opté pour la rédaction d’un ouvrage collectif. L’ensemble de ces réflexions se présente en trois parties : la première sur la pensée de Towa, la seconde sur celle d’Eboussi et la troisième sur l’Afrique.
Pour comprendre La Crise du Muntu de Fabien Eboussi Boulaga
Le livre d’Eboussi Boulaga (La Crise du Muntu. Authenticité et philosophie africaine) apparaît hermétique pour plusieurs lecteurs. C’est pour cette raison que Côme Mama a trouvé nécessaire de contribuer à sa clarification en écrivant Pour comprendre la crise du Muntu de Fabien Eboussi Boulaga. Tout en levant les obstacles à la compréhension de La Crise du Muntu, Côme Mama fait une présentation linéaire du livre d’Eboussi. Son livre se présente en trois parties inégales. Dans la première, il examine le système du global. C’est ici qu’il nous représente le monde négro-africain dans ses représentations. À partir de là, nous verrons la genèse de l’ethnophilosophie dans laquelle il y a confusion de l’ethnologie et de la sociologie. La deuxième partie analyse le système de domination occidentale. Celle-ci s’est construite à partir de la philosophie et de la technoscience. Dans la troisième partie, c’est une analyse critique qui est faite des différents aspects de la crise sur les plans culturels, linguistiques, traditionnels, philosophiques. Le devenir de la liberté est examiné sur les catégories comme être, parler, faire, agir, sentir.

Muntu in Crisis
How could Muntu, that is the human being in the African condition, initiate a practice of philosophy that assumes and testifies to the singularity of the African situation today and assert himself as subject and object of his parole? Under which conditions can his practice of philosophy be a praxis of liberation? These are the fundamental and existential questions at the heart of 'Muntu In Crisis.'
The End of Empire in French West Africa
In an effort to restore its world-power status after the humiliation of defeat and occupation, France was eager to maintain its overseas empire at the end of the Second World War. Yet just fifteen years later France had decolonized, and by 1960 only a few small island territories remained under French control.The process of decolonization in Indochina and Algeria has been widely studied, but much less has been written about decolonization in France's largest colony, French West Africa. Here, the French approach was regarded as exemplary -- that is, a smooth transition successfully managed by well intentioned French politicians and enlightened African leaders. Overturning this received wisdom...
Parties and Politics in Northern Nigeria
First Published in 1968. In retrospect it now seems clear that the federal elections of December 1964 and the constitutional crisis which followed mark the apogee of the civilian government headed by Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. The ‘broadbased’ government which emerged from the crisis represented, at best, a shaky compromise. A decisive jolt came when in the early hours of January 15, 1966, a group of young army officers, mainly Ibo, led some soldiers in a coup which ended in the death of the Federal Prime Minister of Nigeria, Sir Abubakar. The regional Premiers of the North and the West were also killed, as were a number of high-ranking Hausa and Yoruba officers. This volume asks what went wrong and ledto Nigeria’s slow decline into civil chaos and the possibility of political disintegration.
Governance Without Government
A world government capable of controlling nation-states has never evolved, but governance does underlie order among states and gives direction to problems arising from global interdependence. This book examines the ideological bases and behavioural patterns of this governance without government.
Privatising the State
Privatisation is supposed to bring about the retreat of the state. But what happens when the state privatises itself and even its core functions - tax collection, internal security, customs - are auctioned to the highest bidder? Does this imply a weakening of the state? Or, rather, does it lead to a scrutiny and control? The contributors to this work examine these phenomena in the former Second and Third World (Central and Eastern Europe, China and other parts of Asia and Africa) highlighting the very different ways in which continuing state interference and privatisation are implemented. What we are witnessing, according to this study, is not the eclipse of the state under the impact of globalisation but the end of the relatively short era of the development state and its commanding role. privatisation does not necessarily lead to a weakening of state control; it leads to new, and often more informal, forms of interference and influence, and it is these that are the book's central theme.
Christianity Without Fetishes
Christianity without Fetishes is a penetrating analysis of the inculturation of Christianity in Africa. Eboussi Boulaga rejects the Christianity imposed upon and adopted by the African churches as a fetish manufactured in the West, but then goes on to mount a constructive and comprehensive African alternative.
