Paperback. >CLASSIFY, EXCLUDE, POLICE Laurent Fourchards deep, first-hand knowledge of the history and contemporary politics of Nigeria and South Africa forms the basis of an insightful and compelling analysis of how states produce invidious distinctions among their people and at the same time how political linkages are forged between state and society, elites and subalterns, bureaucratic structures and personal relations.Frederick Cooper, Professor of History, New York University, USA Violence, control, police and political order are essential dimensions of metropolis. In this exceptional book, Laurent Fourchard compares decentralised exercises of authority in providing vivid analysis of exclusion of youth and migrants, policing and riots, politics of Big men and fine-grained blurring between bureaucracy and society. A masterpiece of urban politics.Patrick Le Gales, Dean of Urban School, Sciences Po Paris, France This book is a major contribution to rethinking urban politics from the experiences of African cities. Based on detailed historical analysis of South Africa and Nigeria, Fourchard recalibrates the actors, stakes and terms of urban politics around African-centred concerns. Jennifer Robinson, Professor of Geography, University College London, UK The cities of South Africa and Nigeria are reputed to be dangerous, teeming with slums, and dominated by the informal economy but we know little about how people are divided up, categorised and policed. Colonial governments assigned rights and punishments, banned categories considered problematic (delinquents, migrants, single women, street vendors) and give non-state organisations the power to police low-income neighbourhoods. Within this enduring legacy, a tangle of petty arrangements has developed to circumvent exclusion to public places and government offices. In this unpredictable urban reality ??? which has eluded all planning ??? individuals and social groups have changed areas of public action through exclusion, violence and negotiation. In combining historical and ethnographic methods, Classify, Exclude, Police explores the effects and limits of public action, and questions the possibility of comparison between cities often perceived as incommensurable. Focusing on state formation, urbanization, and daily lives, Laurent Fourchard addresses debates and controversies in comparative urban studies, history, political science, and urban anthropology. The book provides a systematic, comparative approach to the practices, processes, arrangements used to create boundaries, direct violence, and produce social, racial, gender, and`generational differences.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Composed of articles first published in the journal Politique africaine, this book proposes an original interpretation of neoliberalism in Africa. Instead of seeing neoliberal reforms as intrinsically destructive of the post-colonial state, the authors, who include some of Africa's best-known social scientists, focus on the resilience and adaptability of African state structures, economic systems, and social survival mechanisms. They examine the diversity of responses to neoliberalism in what the editors call the "everyday politics of the state." In essays that range from diverse theoretical or historical discussions to close studies of the dynamics of specific reforms in particular places, they argue against univocal interpretations of the effects of neoliberalism. They show that the African state, far from disappearing, is adapting and reconfiguring itself in fascinating new social realities "co-constructed" by state action, as well as by the improvisations of communities and other private actors.These fascinating studies reveal processes far more complex and ambivalent than what entrenched ideas of the distinction between "public" and "private" actors or between the "state," the "market," and "society" allow for. Whether discussing neoliberal theories of sovereignty and property in the context of centuries of African political development or revealing the intricacies of people's adjustments to the restructuring of an urban transport system, these essays show that conventional readings of governance in Africa underestimate the dynamics of reappropriation and adaptation, and the conflicts between differing conceptions of power that are profoundly reshaping the state in contemporary Africa.

Couverture souple. Condizione: Neuf. # Broché : 365 pages # Parution : octobre 2018 # Les métropoles d'Afrique du Sud et du Nigeria sont réputées dangereuses, bidonvillisées et dominées par l'économie informelle. Peu est su en revanche de la manière dont les populations y sont triées, catégorisées et policées, en droite ligne avec les méthodes de réification ethnique et sociale de l apartheid et de la période coloniale. À Johannesburg, au Cap, à Lagos et à Ibadan, les quatre villes où l auteur a enquêté, un gouvernement du tri et de l exclusion assigne des droits, des peines et des interdits à des catégories considérées comme problématiques (délinquants, jeunes, migrants, femmes seules, vendeuses de rue) ; des organisations non étatiques surveillent au quotidien les quartiers populaires, les gouvernent la nuit et usent de violence contre les jeunes ou les étrangers. De la rue au marché, de la gare routière au guichet de l administration, s instaure un maquis de petits arrangements qui contournent exclusions et discriminations. L accès à ces lieux est en permanence contesté et négocié auprès d individus en posture d autorité (fonctionnaires, responsables syndicaux, parrains politiques, gouverneurs) par des habitants à la recherche d un service, d une autorisation, d un document, d un soutien, d une place sur un marché ou à l université. Dans cette réalité urbaine imprévisible qui échappe à la planification, individus et groupes sociaux modifient des pans essentiels de l action publique par l exclusion et la violence autant que par la négociation. #.
