Despite being central to the development of Saharan regional connectivity, northern Chad has been closed to researchers since the late 1960s and thus remains virtually unknown to scholarship. Based on long-term fieldwork, The Value of Disorder is an original and in-depth account of the area and its Tubu majority inhabitants. Julien Brachet and Judith Scheele examine trans-border connectivity and trade; civil war and rebellion; wealth creation and dispersal; labour and gender relations; and aspirations to moral autonomy in northern Chad from an internal point of view - a point of view that in turn participates in a dynamic process of regional interdependence. Vividly ethnographic, the book gives precedence to local categories of value, while asking broader questions about the nature of non-state regional political organisation. Questions that inform current political developments in the Sahara more widely, and have the potential to challenge key concepts in Saharan studies and the social sciences.

De Boko Haram à la guerre en Centrafrique, les insécurités constituent un facteur majeur de recomposition des sociétés dans le bassin du lac Tchad (Cameroun, Centrafrique, Niger, Nigeria, Tchad). Peu connus, difficiles d’accès, les espaces de conflits et de violences de cette région se prêtent difficilement aux analyses des chercheurs et des acteurs du développement. D’où l’intérêt des enquêtes de terrain longues et approfondies présentées dans cet ouvrage, qui permettent de proposer une lecture des conflits fondée sur l’étude des dynamiques locales et du vécu des populations, par le prisme de diverses disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales. Il montre la diversité des insécurités – de la violence ordinaire à la guerre –, leur profondeur historique, ainsi que les enjeux économiques et politiques qui les sous-tendent. L’ouvrage présente également la question de la lutte contre les insécurités, qu’elle relève du militaire, du politique ou du développement. Chercheurs, décideurs, acteurs du développement et tous lecteurs concernés par les insécurités en Afrique de l’Ouest et centrale y trouveront informations et analyses originales sur les risques, les violences et les conflits du circum tchadien.
