Описание: The informal sector is a major source of income and employment in all developing countries and particularly so in Africa. In low-income economies in Africa, the informal sector typically accounts for about half of aggregate output and some 90 per cent of employment. Although the informal sector is rural and urban, this book focuses on the urban informal sector, which is growing particularly fast and accounts for a large share of total informal employment. While the informal sector is receiving increasing attention in academic and policy realms, there is still much that remains unknown. This book sheds light on some important and previously understudied aspects of the urban informal sector, using case studies and surveys based on original data as well as interviews. It focuses mostly on francophone Africa, with particular attention to Senegal, Benin and Burkina Faso in West Africa, and Cameroon and Gabon in Central Africa. However, the book also includes comparisons to informal sectors in other countries in Africa and other regions.

Описание: The informal sector in West Africa has some distinctive characteristics. Informality usually connotes small and unorganized producers operating on the fringes of the formal economy. In West African countries, however, the normal situation is to some extent reversed: a dynamic informal sector dominates the stagnant formal economy. Moreover, in these countries, small operators coexist with very large and politically well-connected informal enterprises and well-organized networks. Notwithstanding its importance, there have been relatively few systematic studies of this dual feature of the informal sector in West Africa, and consequently too little is known about it. One of our hypotheses is that determinants and appropriate policy responses are likely to differ between “large” and “small” informal operations. This volume focuses on the urban informal sector in three capital cities: Dakar (Senegal), Cotonou (Benin) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). These three countries have important differences and as a group, are quite representative of francophone West Africa and to a lesser extent West Africa as a whole. The authors use a mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches with data obtained from our new Bank surveys of 900 firms in the three cities, interviews with knowledgeable stakeholders and participants, and all available secondary data. For the surveys, the authors designed their sampling strategy to include three distinctive categories of firms: formal, small informal, and large informal. In addition, they developed a comprehensive definition of informality to reflect its complexity and heterogeneneity. The definition (Chapter 1) covers six components of informality, whereas previous definitions are generally limited to a binary classification based on one or two indicators. The results for West Africa corroborate many findings from earlier studies, particularly for small informal firms. In addition, the authors break new ground by shedding light on the large informal sector and the influence of institutional and socio-cultural factors in shaping the informal sector.

Описание: Writing Through the Visual and Virtual: Inscribing Language, Literature, and Culture in Francophone Africa and the Caribbean interrogates conventional notions of writing. The contributors--whose disciplines include anthropology, art history, education, film, history, linguistics, literature, performance studies, philosophy, sociology, translation, and visual arts--examine the complex interplay between language/literature/arts and the visual and virtual domains of expressive culture. The twenty-five essays explore various patterns of writing practices arising from contemporary and historical forces that have impacted the literatures and cultures of Benin, Cameroon, C te d'Ivoire, Egypt, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, Morocco, Niger, Reunion Island, and Senegal. Special attention is paid to how scripts, though appearing to be merely decorative in function, are often used by artists and performers in the production of material and non-material culture to tell "stories" of great significance, co-mingling words and images in a way that leads to a creative synthesis that links the local and the global, the "classical" and the "popular" in new ways.

Описание: The essays in this volume provide an overview and critical account of prevalent trends and theoretical arguments informing current investigations into literary treatments of motherhood and aging. They explore how two key stages in women’s lives—maternity and old age—are narrated and defined in fictions and autobiographical writings by contemporary French and francophone women. Through close readings of Maryse Cond?, H?l?ne Cixous, Zahia Rahmani, Linda L?, Pierrette Fleutieux, and Mich?le Sarde, among others, these essays examine related topics such as dispossession, female friendship, and women’s relationships with their mothers. By adopting a broad, synthetic approach to these two distinct and defining stages in women’s lives, this volume elucidates how these significant transitional moments set the stage for women’s evolving definitions (and interrogations) of their identities and roles.

Описание: Georges Henein, poete francophone d’Egypte apporte une contribution manifeste a la discipline des etudes litteraires francophones et comble un grand vide dans le domaine encore a peine explore de la francophonie au Moyen Orient. Cet ouvrage met en lumiere la vie et l’?uvre de Georges Henein, l’un des peres du surrealisme egyptien, souvent compare a Andre Breton. Un premier chapitre analyse l’empreinte historique, litteraire et culturelle laissee par la France sur l’Egypte, de l’expedition de Bonaparte aux annees 1960. Un second volet montre comment le mouvement surrealiste francais a pris racine dans le pays du Levant au cours des annees 1920 et etudie ses effets sur la litterature egyptienne avant la crise de Suez. Le troisiLe troisieme et dernier chapitre est consacre a une analyse de textes choisis et tente de definir le projet poetique et l’orientation politique de l’auteur. Cette reflexion montre egalement en quoi les textes d’Henein sont une contribution majeure a la litterature francaise et francophone et pourquoi ils meritent une place centrale dans le canon litteraire du 20e siecle. Cet ouvrage s’adresse a un large public international et interdisciplinaire. Chercheurs, professeurs et etudiants, mais aussi non-specialistes trouveront dans ce livre une source leur permettant de se familiariser avec le mouvement surrealiste francophone en Egypte, ainsi qu’Henein, ses ?uvres, et son epoque. Un nombre encore limite d'etudes ont ete publiees dans le domaine de la litterature francophone d’Egypte et beaucoup de ses auteurs restent largement inconnus du grand public. C’est a cette lacune que cet ouvrage tente de remedier. English summary: Georges Henein, French poet of Egypt provides a clear contribution to the discipline of the French literary studies and fills a void in the still barely explored area of the Francophonie in the Middle East. This book highlights the life and work of Georges Henein, one of the fathers of the Egyptian surrealism, often compared to Andre Breton.

Описание: Scholars have traditionally pushed Francophone literature to the margins of cultural and literary creation. When they do examine literature originating from the former French colonies, they often view it as an outgrowth of colonial literature. By suggesting new ways to understand the multiple voices present in this body of work, this book explores how Francophone African poetry and theatre in particular constitute both an organic cultural product, and a reflection of the diverse African cultures in which these genres originate.Themes explored in five chapters include the diversity of African identity formation, the resistance to former notions of literary composition as art, a remapping of social responsibility and diversity, and the impact of globalization on Francophone Africa's identity formation and participation in geoeconomics, geopolitics and geoculture. By looking at Francophone African literature from the arrival of independence in the 1960s until the present, this study highlights its inner workings and suggests a canonization of contemporary Francophone works from a world perspective.
