Description
An account of the resource
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher:</b></div> </div> In cities throughout Africa, local inhabitants live alongside large populations of “strangers.” Bruce Whitehouse explores the condition of strangerhood for residents who have come from the West African Sahel to settle in Brazzaville, Congo. Whitehouse considers how these migrants live simultaneously inside and outside of Congolese society as merchants, as Muslims in a predominantly non-Muslim society, and as parents seeking to instill in their children the customs of their communities of origin. Migrants and Strangers in an African City challenges Pan-Africanist ideas of transnationalism and diaspora in today’s globalized world.</div> </div> <b>Bruce Whitehouse </b>is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Lehigh University.</div> </div>

<div>Transports urbains publics et privés au Congo. Enjeux et pratiques sociales.</div>
</div>
<b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
L'auteur expose les problèmes de transports publics à Brazzaville, dont la faute est trop souvent portée sur l'esclavage et la colonisation. Le système privé, bien qu'inadapté à une capitale du XXIe siècle, permet de pallier les insuffisances, dans un pays où les pouvoirs publics ne peuvent offrir à la population les moyens de se déplacer. </div>
</div>
Cet ouvrage rappelle quelques vérités historiques et contemporaines en matière de gestion des transports urbains.</div>

Description
An account of the resource
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher:</b></div>
</div>
Capital cities today remain central to both nations and states. They host centres of political power, not only national, but in some cases regional and global as well, thus offering major avenues to success, wealth and privilege. For these reasons capitals simultaneously become centres of 'counter-power', locations of high-stakes struggles between the government and the opposition.<br />
<br />
This volume focuses on capital cities in nine sub-Saharan African countries, and traces how the power vested in them has evolved through different colonial backgrounds, radically different kinds of regimes after independence, waves of popular protest, explosive population growth and in most cases stunted economic development. Starting at the point of national political emancipation, each case study explores the complicated processes of nation-state building through its manifestation in the 'urban geology' of the city – its architecture, iconography, layout and political use of urban space. Although the evolution of each of these cities is different, they share a critical demographic feature: an extraordinarily rapid process of urbanisation that is more politically than economically driven. Overwhelmed by the inevitable challenges resulting from this urban sprawl, the governments seated in most of these capital cities are in effect both powerful – wielding power over their populace – and powerless, lacking power to implement their plans and to provide for their inhabitants.<br />
<br />
In its concentration on urban forms of multi-layered power, symbolic as well as material, Capital Cities in Africa cuts a new path in the rich field of studies related to African cities and politics. It will be of interest to scholars in a wide range of disciplines, from political history, to sociology, to geography, architecture and urban planning.</div>
