Résumé : |
Dans les années 90, la sorcière que l'on craint au sein de la population de langue Tonga de la vallée du Gwembe, en Zambie, est souvent le père, que les enfants adultes accusent d'user de la sorcellerie pour manipuler leur force vitale à son profit. Les suspicions à l'egard du père résultent d'un changement de la dynamique familiale, à laquelle s'ajoutent des perspectives économiques limitées et une agriculture en pleine évolution impliquant des cultures commerciales pour lesquelles la main-d'oeuvre familiale est d'une importance vitale. Comme dans le reste de la Zambie, la peur de la sorcellerie est devenue plus frappante au fur et à mesure que la situation économique se dégradait, créant un malaise général et un laisser-aller quant aux accusations publiques. Le sentiment d'être persécuté et vulnérable dans un monde où les transports minimisent les distances fait doter les sorcières du pouvoir d'exercer leurs pouvoirs à des distances illimitées. Néanmoins, la chasse aux sorcières détoume l'hostilité des personnalites politiqués nationales pour la porter sur les anciens des communautés, notamment les pères, que sont une source permanente de frustration immédiate et sont vulnérables à l'action locale. |

Children and the Experience of Violence : Contrasting Cultures of Punishment in Northern Nigeria |

Résumé : |
Arising out of debates over ‘children at risk’ and the ‘rights of the child’, the article compares two contrasting childhoods within a single large society—the Hausa‐speaking peoples of northern Nigeria. One segment of this society—the non‐Muslim Maguzawa—refuse to allow their children to be beaten; the other segment, the Muslim Hausa, tolerate corporal punishment both at home and especially in Qur'anic schools. Why the difference? Economic as well as political reasons are offered as reasons for the rejection of corporal punishment while it is argued that, in the eyes of Muslim society in the cities, the threat of punishment is essential for both educating and ‘civilising’ the young by imposing the necessary degree of discipline and self‐control that are considered the hallmark of a good Muslim. In short, ‘cultures of punishment’ arise out of specific historical conditions, with wide variations in the degree and frequency with which children actually suffer punishment, and at whose hands. Finally the question is raised whether the violence experienced in schooling has sanctioned in the community at large a greater tolerance of violence‐as‐‘punishment’. |

Power, Honour and Shame : The Ideology of Royal Slavery in the Sokoto Caliphate |

pp. 394-421. |

Anglais (eng) |
Résumé : |
This article takes issue with ahistorical typologies that depict all slaves as ‘dishonoured’ persons. It demonstrates that royal slaves in Kano emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate were initially valuable to the elite because they were indeed dishonoured outsiders. But, over time, slaves tried to limit their exploitation by developing their own systems of honour and status. The article traces when, where and how royal slaves in Kano acquired and attempted to acquire ‘honour’ as officials, kin and members of a broader social world. However, it concludes that, although slaves did indeed develop systems of honour, their ability to acquire an honourable identity was nonetheless limited by their status as slaves, which they remained despite their power and position. |

‘Islam Does Not Belong to Them’ : Ethnic and Religious Identities Among Male Igbo Converts in Hausaland |

Résumé : |
Before the civil war, conversion to Islam for Igbo men resident in the predominantly Hausa city of Kano in northern Nigeria usually meant becoming Hausa. More recent converts, however, have retained their Igbo identity and created an organisation, the Igbo Muslim Community. Three case studies from the first group detail the process and criteria of becoming Hausa, including immersion in Hausa economic and social networks; three case studies from the second group demonstrate that, while Hausa-centred networks remain important, converts have worked to construct new, Igbo-centred support structures. The watershed in the changing relationship between religious and ethnic affiliation for Igbo converts is the end of the war in 1970 and resultant changes in Igbo perceptions of Muslims, and changes in Igbo community structures. |

Versioning Womanhood and Muslimhood : ‘Fashion’ and the Life Course in Contemporary Bouaké, Côte D'ivoire |

pp. 442-481. |

Résumé : |
On the strength of research in 1992–95 and 1998 this article discusses the way Muslim women dress in Bouaké, Côte D'Ivoire, and what it tells us about the trajectory of their lives and view of the world. Arguing that fashion is emblematic of processes of identification, it seeks to explain how young women come to be situated and position themselves in these processes. To do so, it examines the processes through a life course analysis that takes into account local versionings of tradition and aesthetics, Muslim cosmology and ideals of Western modernity. The article shows that as young women gain social maturity and assume the socially defined status of adult they dress and act increasingly in a manner that emphasises Muslim identity. The various ways in which they use dress reflect the stance they adopt towards competing versionings of Islam. |

‘Her Name is Kamundage’ : Rethinking Women and Property Among the Haya of Tanzania |

pp. 482-500. |

Anglais (eng) |
Résumé : |
This article introduces three models by which it is possible to interpret women's relations to property: the structuralist model, the interactionist model and the entitlement model. By reference to fleldwork carried out in the Kagera region of Tanzania, it discusses the potential of each model to deepen our understanding of women's relations to land and argues that none of the models taken alone is adequate fully to explain the range of ways in which women interact with property in Kagera nor their experiences of struggling over land. The article therefore attempts to construct a theoretical framework for rethinking women and property. |
