"This book is the product of four people with very different backgrounds, interests, and life experiences. What unites us is a curiosity about the world, a relentless drive to question, and a responsibility to the people, places, and waters we have met along the way."--

In one form or another, water participates in the making and unmaking of people’s lives, practices, and stories. Contributors’ detailed ethnographic work analyzes the union and mutual shaping of water and social lives. This volume discusses current ecological disturbances and engages in a world where unbounded relationalities and unsettled frames of orientation mark the lives of all, anthropologists included. Water emerges as a fluid object in more senses than one, challenging anthropologists to foreground the mutable character of their objects of study and to responsibly engage with the generative role of cultural analysis.

Qu'il y en ait trop ou pas assez, l'eau fait de plus en plus problème. Fort de la dichotomie qu'il est à peu près le seul à établir entre la Nature et les Cultures, le monde occidental et occidentalisé tend à réduire cette question à la gestion responsable et raisonnable d'une ressource naturelle menacée par de mauvaises politiques et des techniques inappropriées. Au mieux, la dimension culturelle viendrait conforter le droit universel à cette réalité univoque, au pire, certaines cultures, étant peu naturelles ou trop "surnaturelles", l'hypothéqueraient. Les histoires racontées ici à partir d'expériences africaines en matière de puits, de pluie et de projets hydrauliques, donnent à réfléchir tout autrement : le phénomène de l'eau est, d'emblée et d'office, de "nature" culturelle. Ainsi, l'Afrique et ses histoires d'eaux nous disent qu'il serait à la fois plus plausible et plus prometteur d'admettre qu'il y a réellement autant d'eaux que de cultures.
