Abstract

«L'Afrique des ténèbres » face à l'Europe des Lumières, la raison grecque et l'émotion nègre, la science contre la magie: durant plusieurs siècles, le monde occidental s'est construit en s'opposant au monde noir. Une bibliothèque coloniale s'est ainsi constituée qui, après avoir longtemps dénié toute pensée aux Noirs de l'Afrique et de sa diaspora, leur a finalement concédé une mentalité primitive et des usages spécifiques de la rationalité.Cet essai retrace l'histoire d'un singulier rapport à l'autre, en insistant sur ses effets réciproques. Car si la relation et la raison coloniales ont pu déterminer certaines idéologies africaines, telles que le panafricanisme, la négritude ou l'afrocentrisme, des Africains et leurs descendants des Antilles ou de l'Amérique ont, en retour, largement contribué à l'histoire intellectuelle et politique de l'Occident. Cette constatation s'avère centrale pour dépasser les héritages de l'histoire coloniale et pour tenter de construire une universalité concrète, postraciale et postcoloniale. C'est à ce devenir que cet essai entend contribuer, en présentant aussi les grands courants et certaines figures majeures de la pensée noire contemporaine.

Abstract

This book was first published in 2010. Madison presents the neglected yet compelling and necessary story of local activists in South Saharan Africa who employ modes of performance as tactics of resistance and intervention in their day-to-day struggles for human rights. The dynamic relationship between performance and activism are illustrated in three case studies: Act One presents a battle between tradition and modernity as the bodies of African women are caught in the cross-fire. Act Two focuses on 'water democracy' as activists fight for safe, accessible public water as a human right. Act Three examines the efficacy of street performance and theatre for development in the oral histories of Ghanaian gender activists. Unique to this book is the continuing juxtaposition between the everyday performances of local activism and their staged enactments before theatre audiences in Ghana and the USA. Madison beautifully demonstrates how these disparate sites of performance cohere in the service of rights, justice, and activism.
