La scène se passe au cœur d'une nuit gabonaise. Au corps de garde, un homme est assis devant un miroir qu'il scrute, les yeux fixes. Il prend la parole et raconte des scènes étranges, apparitions fantastiques ou sombres histoires de famille. Il les raconte à d'autres hommes qui l'écoutent avec attention, massés autour de lui. Il s'agit là d'une initiation au Bwete Misoko, rituel masculin originaire du Gabon central mais aujourd'hui répandu dans la majorité du pays. Ce livre en retrace le parcours initiatique complexe : depuis les rites de passage centrés autour de l'absorption de la plante hallucinogène eboga à des fins visionnaires et thérapeutiques, jusqu'à la dernière étape rituelle au terme de laquelle l'impétrant pourra à son tour initier des novices et exercer le métier de devin-guérisseur. À partir d'une approche pragmatiste centrée sur la logique interactionnelle du rituel, l'auteur montre comment le Bwete Misoko permet de mettre en scène l'ordre des relations sociales en les rejouant dans le miroir initiatique. L'initiation instaure en effet un autre type de rapport à soi et à autrui par le biais d'une série de pièges qui opèrent une recomposition de la relation aux sorciers, aux femmes et aux ancêtres. En déplaçant ainsi le regard des structures symboliques vers les dynamiques d'interaction, ce livre invite à un renouvellement théorique de l'anthropologie du rituel : le rituel est moins une affaire de croyance et de symboles que de contextes et de relations ; et son efficacité propre repose moins sur la métaphore que sur l'ironie.

Oil production over the last 40 years has transformed Gabon into a middle-income country; but income inequality is high, and non-commodity sectors are stagnant. Gabon is recovering from the global financial crisis. The recovery to be sustained, with downside risks from commodity prices and possible slippages in policy implementation. The fiscal stance has important implications for domestic stability. Medium-term fiscal consolidation is vital to ensuring fiscal sustainability and external competitiveness as oil production dwindles over time. The authorities have embarked on major reforms of public financial management (PFM).

This 2014 Article IV Consultation highlights that Gabon’s growth performance has recently been strong, but fiscal pressures have increased significantly. Real GDP growth has averaged about 6 percent in the last four years on the back of substantial scaling-up of capital spending as the authorities implement their strategy Plan Stratégique Gabon Emergent to promote economic diversification and growth inclusiveness. The medium-term growth outlook has weakened as a result of the sharp decline in oil prices, but is expected to remain relatively strong. Growth is expected to be driven by a number of projects under way in agro-industry, mining, and wood processing.
