Little over six decades ago, in 1955 to be precise, Indonesia hosted an important gathering that sought to make a major contribution to the ordering of the system of international relations in the post-Second World War period and the onset of the Cold War. This was the first Afro-Asian conference which was held in Bandung, Indonesia on 18-24 April 1955. It was sponsored by India, Indonesia, Burma, Ceylon, Pakistan and an additional 24 Asian and African countries. Fifty years later, on 2024 April 2005, the second Asian-African Conference was also held in Jakarta and Bandung. The Bandung Conference considered problems of common interest and concern to countries of Asia and Africa and discussed ways and means by which their people could achieve fuller economic, cultural and political cooperation, thus launching an era of Afro-Asian cooperation.

Alain Mabanckou est un jeune écrivain congolais qui est largement reconnu pour ses oeuvres issues du terroir mais ayant une portée universelle. Ses romans sont nombreux, nous citerons Mémoires de porc-épic2 qui constitue le second volet d’une trilogie inaugurée par Verre Cassé. grâce à la littérature, mabanckou jette des ponts entre trois mondes différents: l’Afrique, l’Europe et l’Amérique. Nous retrouvons les traces d’auteurs qu’il vénère tels que Diderot, Voltaire, Robert Louis Stevenson et surtout La Fontaine qu’il parodie avec gourmandise. Dans la lignée de Senghor, Kourouma ou Hampaté Bâ, mabanckou estime lui aussi que la culture africaine ne sera sauvée de l’oubli que par le papier.
阿兰·马班库(Alain Mabanckou)是一位年轻的刚果作家，他的作品来自当地，但却广受赞誉。他的小说很多，我们可以提到memoires de porc- epic2，这是由Verre casse开创的三部曲的第二部分。通过文学，马班库在三个不同的世界之间架起了桥梁:非洲、欧洲和美洲。我们发现了他崇拜的作家的痕迹，如狄德罗、伏尔泰、罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森，尤其是他贪婪地模仿的喷泉。与Senghor、Kourouma或hampate ba一样，mabanckou认为，非洲文化只有在纸上才能免于被遗忘。

Le mots de "laïcité" renvoie souvent à l'expérience française de la séparation entre les Eglises et l’Etat. Son usage dans d’autres contextes, d’autres langues et d’autres sphères culturelles pose problème, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit des airesgéographiques dépassant l’Occident. Ainsi par exemple, parler de l’Afrique des laïcités ( en pluriel en outre ) pour évoquer les rapports État, religion et pouvoirs au sud Sahara, comme c’est le cas dans l’ouvrage collectif dirigé par Gilles Holder et Moussa Sow, semble une démarche risquée. Les travaux du colloque " l'Afrique des laïcités" réunis dans ce livre présent un regard global sur les rapports Etat et religion en Afrique.

Deux grandes figures de la littérature africaine nous ont quittés il y a maintenant un an, en début de l’année 2015, étrangement nés à quelques mois près, avec un parcours si ressemblant dans l’esprit et la création! Leur disparition est une perte pour l’Afrique car elles ne sont plus là pour commenter les soubresauts politiques et humains de notre continent, pour créer des textes toujours profonds. C’est à Schloss Leopoldskron à Salzburg que j’ai rencontré André Brink pour la première fois, dans les années 90, et c’est à l’université d’Alger que j’ai côtoyé Assia Djebar.

Les thèmes abordés dans cet ouvrage ne sont pas nouveaux. Dès l’introduction Amady Aly Dieng souligne que son objectif n'set pas de "Résoudre des problèmes de l’utilisation du marxisme en Afrique noire" il cherche "plutôt à susciter des discussions de fond autour des dificulté de l'application marxisme dans les pays où le prolétariat industriel n'est pas encore trés développé (...) [et] de créer les conditions d’une véritable discussion sur le rôle du marxisme dans la solution des grands problèmes de notre continent".

What does it mean to ‘belong’ in an African city? And what does it mean to be ‘different’? How have contemporary South African – and wider global – discourses framed belonging and difference; and how is this framing encountered and altered by those who are positioned as ‘outsider’? Finally, how are notions of legality constructed by the state, and how are they contested by ordinary people? These are key questions for our imaginaries of citizenship in postcolonial Africa, where we deal with the legacies of colonialism and modernity through our somewhat arbitrarily constructed state boundaries, and these are the key concerns around which Caroline Wanjiku Kihato’s ethnography of migrant women in Johannesburg centres. This book is about Johannesburg’s in-between spaces, and the agency of the people who inhabit them and who, in so doing, change the face of the city. In South Africa’s current context of eversurfacing xenophobic sentiment, it is a book that matters to notions of the ‘local’ versus the ‘foreign’, and to our notions of the legal versus the illegal life in a city.

Among dozens of books published recently on China in Africa, I think few have implications as profound and as far-reaching as The New Kings of Crude by Luke Patey. but let me discribe the book briefly before I assess the implications. It is a thoroughly researched and denselywritten book. The endnotes alone are packed in 62 single-spaced pages and include materials not only in English but also in the Chinese language. The data are derived from primary sources(unstructured interviews) and secondaire unconventional structure that combines ons ( written documents) using an unconventional structure that combines the features of a travelogue and a scholarly treatise, of a novel and a survey research report, and of a news report and philosophical analysis, the book chronicles the history of oil companies from China and India in the Sudan.

Building a Peaceful Nation in Tanzania is a significant contribution to the growing literature on state-and nation-building in Africa. Cast in the analytic framework of sovereignty and discursive agency, the book examines the historical context within which, Julius Nyerere, the founding President of Tanzania, navigated the challenges and policy processes of reconstructing a colonial state apparatus and re-fashioning into a new sovereign state with an enduring national identityand a collective consciousness. Based on the interpretation and analysis of extensive archival materials and interviews, the author demonstrates how the colonial history, experiences and expectations of subject citizens provided critical conjuntures that informed and difined policy options for nationalist leaders.
