Nationalisme, panafricanisme et reconstruction africaine (Printed)
Quel sens donner au nationalisme et au panafricanisme? Comment ces idéaux pourraient-ils servir la reconstruction africaine? Quelles seraient les permanences et les bifurcations du sentiment nationaliste? Comment réconcilier le patriotisme, le panafricanisme, l’idéal panafricain et le phénomène de « fuite des cerveaux » ou avec la mondialisation capitaliste? Le panafricanisme peut-il aider l’entrepreneuriat africain et vice versa? Quelle aura été la contribution des intellectuels à la lutte pour l’indépendance africaine, la démocratie, et le développement qui sont si intimement liés? Est-il possible de refonder l’idéal panafricaniste à l’aune de l’intellectualité symbolique musicale? Cet ouvrage tente de répondre à ces questions et constitue une contribution majeure à la réflexion sur la reconstruction africaine qui requiert un réveil du nationalisme et du panafricanisme, ainsi qu’un plus grand engagement des intellectuels et peuples africains. Critique et autocritique, cet ouvrage devrait interpeller les intellectuels africains de tous bords au sujet de leur rôle individuel et collectif dans la lutte de notre peuple pour sa libération totale et la reconstruction africaine à l’ère de la mondialisation. Il est d’abord destiné aux Africains, aux entrepreneurs politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels africains et à tous ceux qui se préoccupent de la reconstruction africaine.
Governing Health Systems in Africa (Printed)
Drawing on various disciplinary perspectives, this book re-focuses the debate on what makes a good health system, with a view to clarifying the uses of social science research in thinking about health care issues in Africa. The explosion of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the persistence of malaria as a major killer, and the resurgence of diseases like tuberculosis which were previously under control, have brought about changes in the health system, with implications for its governance, especially in view of the diminished capacity of the public health facilities to cope with a complex range of expanded needs. Government responsibilities and objectives in the health sector have been redefined, with private sector entities (both for profit and not-for profit) playing an increasingly visible role in health care provisions. The reasons for collaborative patterns vary, but chronic under-funding of publicly financed health services is often an important factor. Processes of decentralisation and health sector reforms have had mixed effects on health care system performance; while private health insurance markets and private clinics are pointers to a growing stratification of the health market, in line with the intensified income and social differentiation that has occurred over the last two decades.These developments call for health sector reforms.
African Anthropologies: History, Critique and Practice (Printed)
This overview of the history, application and teaching of anthropology in post-colonial Africa shows how the continent’s anthropologists are redefining the historical legacy of European and American disciplinary hegemony, and developing distinctively African contributions to anthropological theory and practice. The contributors illustrate the diverse national traditions of anthropological practice that have developed in sub-Saharan Africa since decolonisation and exemplify the diversity of professional work carried out by the discipline’s practitioners. Their commitment to a common disciplinary identity demonstrates the place that exists for a critical anthropology that is reflective about both its potentials and limitations.
