On la croyait disparue, elle n'était que négligée ! On l'avait dite vaincue, elle a repris l'offensive ! La maladie du sommeil, ou trypanosomose humaine africaine, fit tant de ravages en Afrique avant et pendant la colonisation qu'elle était devenue un véritable symbole. La lutte acharnée qui fut mise en œuvre après la Première Guerre mondiale conduisit à sa quasi-disparition à la fin des années 1950. Mais la surveillance s'est ensuite relâchée, erreur de stratégie dramatique pour des millions de personnes vivant en région endémique. Nourri par les rares malades et le réservoir animal du parasite, le vecteur, la mouche tsé-tsé, a permis le retour insidieux de la maladie. Le réveil de la « trypano » fut brutal dans les années 1980, d'autant plus douloureux que les anciennes recettes de lutte ne pouvaient resservir, malgré les nouvelles techniques de dépistage, de diagnostic et de traitement. On avait oublié qu'il fallait combiner des stratégies curatives et préventives, associer surveillance médicale et lutte antivectorielle, et surtout que ces deux opérations devaient être comprises et acceptées par les communautés. Cet ouvrage, qui s'appuie sur une campagne menée en forêt de Côte d'Ivoire, présente une nouvelle stratégie de lutte contre la maladie, efficace, peu onéreuse et bien acceptée par les communautés rurales. La méthode repose sur le travail d'information et d'encadrement des villageois par des agents locaux de santé, le recensement de la population, le dépistage des cas suspects, le suivi des malades et la mise en place de la lutte antivectorielle par piégeage. Il s'adresse aux praticiens, aux décideurs et aux acteurs du développement pour qu'ils puissent appliquer cette méthode et la généraliser, en particulier dans les zones endémiques peu accessibles.

The early Chinese text Master Zhuang (Zhuangzi) is well known for its relativistic philosophy and colorful anecdotes. In the work, Zhuang Zhou ca. 300 B.C.E.) dreams that he is a butterfly and wonders, upon awaking, if he in fact dreamed that he was a butterfly or if the butterfly is now dreaming that it is Zhuang Zhou. The text also recounts Master Zhuang's encounter with a skull, which praises the pleasures of death over the toil of living. This anecdote became popular with Chinese poets of the second and third century C.E. and found renewed significance with the founders of Quanzhen Daoism in the twelfth century.The Quanzhen masters transformed the skull into a skeleton and treated the object as a metonym for death and a symbol of the refusal of enlightenment. Later preachers made further revisions, adding Master Zhuang's resurrection of the skeleton, a series of accusations made by the skeleton against the philosopher, and the enlightenment of the magistrate who judges their case. The legend of the skeleton was widely popular throughout the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and the fiction writer Lu Xun (1881-1936) reimagined it in the modern era. The first book in English to trace the development of the legend and its relationship to centuries of change in Chinese philosophy and culture, The Resurrected Skeleton translates and contextualizes the story's major adaptations and draws parallels with the Muslim legend of Jesus's encounter with a skull and the European tradition of the Dance of Death. Translated works include versions of the legend in the form of popular ballads and plays, together with Lu Xun's short story of the 1930s, underlining the continuity between traditional and modern Chinese culture.

Acclaimed national researcher Hu Angang presents Mao and the Cultural Revolution, an immensely rich account of the massive political event of 1966–1976 that brought seismic changes to the landscape of New China. A culmination of Mao Zedong’s political ambitions, the Cultural Revolution restored his power and prestige as paramount leader, albeit at great costs to the economic and social development to the country. The impact of the movement - more significantly, the politics that drove it - deeply influences political philosophy in China today. Hu Angang’s work provides a unique perspective and objective assessment of the progression of the Cultural Revolution, focusing on the intraparty politics, the Politburo’s international outlook, and the political thought of the Chinese leadership that shaped this pivotal decade.

Foreigners Under Mao is a pioneering study of the Western community during the turbulent Mao era. Based largely on personal interviews, memoirs, private letters, and archives, this book 'gives a voice' to the Westerners who lived under Mao. It shows that China was not as closed to Western residents as has often been portrayed. The book examines the lives of six different groups of Westerners: "foreign comrades" who made their home in Mao's China, twenty-two former Korean War POWs who controversially chose China ahead of repatriation, diplomats of Western countries that recognized the People's Republic, the few foreign correspondents permitted to work in China, "foreign experts," and language students. Each of these groups led distinct lives under Mao, while sharing the experience of a highly politicized society and of official measures to isolate them from everyday China.
