DOWNLOAD EBOOK" Hannah Arendt a disséqué le totalitarisme et l'a distingué des anciennes formes d'oppression comme le despotisme, soulignant le fait qu'il reposait sur une idéologie marquée par la volonté de domination totale sur la société. Yao Assogba emprunte une démarche différente : il nous offre dans cet ouvrage une anatomie de l'incompétence des élites (ce qu'il appelle " l'impéritie et le cynisme des dirigeants africains "), qui se transforme parfois en démission collective. Ce faisant, il démonte les mécanismes du bricolage oppressif qui maintient efficacement l'Afrique subsaharienne dans le noir depuis quatre siècles. Quant aux millions d'Africains qui se battent quotidiennement de mille manières contre le fatalisme, il serait injuste de les accuser de démission et de désertion. Yao Assogba ne cède pas à la mode facile de ces chercheurs complexés ou aigris, qui ne voient plus en Afrique que le triomphe de la culture de l'échec et du désespoir. Il garde les yeux sur l'horizon. Loin d'être naïf, il ne minimise pas l'internalisation de la violence symbolique par les victimes elles-mêmes, qui s'infligent parfois les échelles de valeurs arbitraires des puissants. Mais cet ouvrage n'est pas un traité d'anthropologie du suicide collectif. Au-delà de l'agitation et des turbulences de la crise africaine, Yao Assogba voudrait mettre en évidence les forces sociales qui travaillent l'Afrique du dedans et par en dedans. L'Autre Afrique, en quelque sorte. Celle qui ne fait jamais l'objet de la une des médias internationaux, celle dont CNN ne parle jamais ". Extrait de la Préface de Célestin Monga, Économiste principal à la Banque Mondiale

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBrill’s Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great offers a considerable range of topics, of interest to students and academics alike, in the long tradition of this subject’s significant impact, across a sometimes surprising and comprehensive variety of areas. Arguably no other historical figure has cast such a long shadow for so long a time. Every civilisation touched by the Macedonian Conqueror, along with many more that he never imagined, has scrambled to “own” some part of his legacy. This volume canvasses a comprehensive array of these receptions, beginning from Alexander’s own era and journeying up to the present, in order to come to grips with the impact left by this influential but elusive figure.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBlack Skin, White Masks is a classic, devastating account of the dehumanising effects of colonisation experienced by black subjects living in a white world. First published in English in 1967, this book provides an unsurpassed study of the psychology of racism using scientific analysis and poetic grace.Franz Fanon identifies a devastating pathology at the heart of Western culture, a denial of difference, that persists to this day. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, his writings speak to all who continue the struggle for political and cultural liberation.With an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack.
