Show moreAprès avoir passé en revue les diverses approches qui proposent des interprétations de la situation des chefs traditionnels en Afrique, cet article examine le cas des chefs dans la Zambie du centre-ouest. Il en fait l'historique à partir des années 1850, décrit la base de leur pouvoir et la marge de manouvre qui est la leur. De nos jours et dans cette situation locale spécifique, la base du pouvoir est en voie de déclin et les chefs s'efforcent de trouver de nouvelles stratégies pour se maintenir. Ils sont toujours davantage livrés aux mains de nouveaux acteurs sur la scène locale, contre lesquels ils se retrouvent plus ou moins sans défense. L'exemple traité ici, est celui d'une association ethnique volontaire, l'association culturelle Kazanga, fondée et contrôlée par certains de leurs sujets urbanisés qui ont réussi, et appartiennent à leur entourage immédiat. Cette organisation non gouvernementale s'est révélée capable d'établir un pont entre les politiques indigènes et l' État, selon un processus graduel d'ethnicisation. Cependant, la renaissance du statut de chef tourne court et conduit, non au maintien du pouvoir du chef, mais à une folklorisation qui le prive de tout impact, sinon à son annihilation pure et simple. Il en résulte que la tension monte entre les chefs et l'association ethnique en question. (Une version plus longue et en anglais de cet article a paru en 1999 dans l'ouvrage African chieftaincy in a new socio-political landscape de E.A.B. van Rouveroy van Nieuwaal et R. van Dijk).

Show moreThis chapter deals with food marketing in Coast Province. It discusses fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, coconuts, cashew nuts, maize, sugar and milk, respectively. Commodity flows from producer to consumer are described. Private traders, processors, co-operatives and parastatals are reviewed, with their roles in local, regional, inter-regional and international trade. Actors and institutions specialise along commodity lines and according to trade levels. Levels of competition differ from one commodity to another and evolve with changes in national policies.

Show moreThe papers collected in this volume were first presented at a conference on 'Globalization, development and the making of consumers: what are collective identities for?' which was held in The Hague, The Netherlands, on 13-16 March 1997. The papers are concerned with the challenge to the development paradigm presented by its potential submersion within processes of economic globalization. The following chapters are on Africa: The accountability of commodities in a global marketplace: the cases of Bolivian coca and Tanzanian honey (Alberto Arce, Eleanor Fisher) - The Pentecostal gift: Ghanaian charismatic churches and the moral innocence of the global economy (Rijk van Dijk) - 'Progress' as discursive spectacle: but what comes after development? (David Mills on Uganda) - Christian mind and worldly matters: religion and materiality in the nineteenth-century Gold Coast (Birgit Meyer) - Mary's room: a case study on becoming a consumer in Francistown, Botswana (Wim van Binsbergen) - Second-hand clothing encounters in Zambia: global discourses, Western commodities and local histories (Karen Tranberg Hansen) - Globalization and the making of consumers: Zambian kitchen parties (Thera Rasing) - African corruption in the context of globalization (Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan) - Market expansion, globalized discourses and changing identity politics in Kenya (Andreas van Nahl) - The production of translocality: initiation in the sacred grove in southern Senegal (Ferdinand de Jong) - The production of 'primitiveness' and identity: Surma-tourist interactions (Jan Abbink) - Anthropology, identity politics, consumption and development in post-apartheid South Africa (P.A.
