Entre les derniers sursauts du passé, qui agonise ou se survit dans le cadre d'un néocolonialisme « éclairé », et cette vocation africaine, nationale et unitaire, dont Lumumba fut le prophète, l'Afrique cherche son destin. Tel est le sujet qu'aborde Ève Dessarre, à travers un reportage toujours aigu et attentif, s'efforçant de définir quel peut être — quel doit être — le visage de l'Afrique de demain. Aussi, souhaite-t-elle, d'abord, mettre en garde quelques-uns de ses amis africains qui, tout en ayant bien compris que la balkanisation de leur continent ne ferait que prolonger - pendant quelques années - le néocolonialisme, se servent mal des armes dont ils disposent. Elle s'adresse également aux Blancs, pour leur rappeler que l'ère des colonies est définitivement close, et qu'ils ont - en Afrique - assumé des responsabilités qui leur imposent, désormais, des devoirs. La décolonisation véritable, une fois disparus les derniers serviteurs d'un colonialisme qui s'emploie à maintenir l'actuel imbroglio, est au prix de cette double prise de conscience.

The spread of Islam and the process of Islamisation (meaning both conversion to Islam and the adoption of Muslim culture) is explored in the twenty-four chapters of this volume. Taking a comparative perspective, both the historical trajectory of Islamisation and the methodological problems in its study are addressed, with coverage moving from Africa to China and from the seventh century to the start of the colonial period in 1800. Key questions are addressed. What is meant by Islamisation? How far was the spread of Islam as a religion bound up with the spread of Muslim culture? To what extent are Islamisation and conversion parallel processes? How is Islamisation connected to Arabisation? What role do vernacular Muslim languages play in the promotion of Muslim culture? The broad, comparative perspective allows readers to develop a thorough understanding of the process of Islamisation over eleven centuries of its history.

Berbers and Others offers fresh perspectives on new forms of social and political activism in today's Maghrib. In recent years, the Amazigh (Berber) movement has become a focus of widespread political, social, and cultural attention in North Africa, Europe, and the United States. Berber groups have peacefully yet persistently laid claim to ownership over broad areas of creativity in the arts, politics, literature, education, and national memory. The contributors to this volume present some of the best new thinking in the emerging field of Berber studies, offering insight into historical antecedents, language usage, land rights, household economies, artistic production, and human rights. The scope, depth, and multidisciplinary approach will engage specialists on the Maghrib as well as students of ethnicity, social and political change, and cultural innovation.

"This book examines the complex transition of North Africa from the Late Roman period to the Arab conquest, focusing on three provinces: Zeugitana, Byzacena and Tripolitana. In particular, it considers the continuity and transformation of towns, as a result of economic, political and social changes. The period sees the wide diffusion of Christianity, the imposition of Vandal rule and Arianism, the presence of a new Empire and the Arab/Muslim takeover. It is also a period of archaeological and material transition: physically towns changed and classical structures, in particular, decayed and were reused. The evidence considered here encompasses a wide range of material, including publications from 1800 (Italian and French colonial excavations) to modern times. These data form the basis for a detailed review of archaeological evidence in this geographical area and for the analysis of the processes of evolution that characterised North African cities"--
