Eve on Top takes an in-depth look at the position of women in senior positions in the public sector using a case-study approach, based on ten 'successful' women and their background, upbringing, career progression, successes and failures, challenges and experiences.

Avant d’accepter des mandats axés sur la résolution de situations complexes, censés concilier des points de vue souvent inconciliables, Guy Coulombe s’était illustré en occupant des fonctions aussi diverses que secrétaire du Conseil du Trésor, secrétaire général du Conseil exécutif du gouvernement, président de la Société générale de financement (SGF), président d’Hydro-Québec, directeur général de la Sûreté du Québec et directeur général de la Ville de Montréal. Fidèle au rôle de serviteur non partisan de l’État, il a été de tous les chantiers structurants devant mener à l’érection d’un Québec moderne. Soucieux de se tenir constamment au-dessus de la mêlée, il a transcendé les régimes et fait partie de tous les changements de garde. Son parcours recèle de précieuses leçons de gestion, de leadership et de constance dans l’action. À vous de les découvrir et, comme il le fait si bien lui-même, d’en tirer l’essentiel pour l’exercice de votre propre leadership.

Focusing on colonial Kenya, this book shows how conflicts between state authorities and Africans over witchcraft-related crimes provided an important space in which the meanings of justice, law and order in the empire were debated. Katherine Luongo discusses the emergence of imperial networks of knowledge about witchcraft. She then demonstrates how colonial concerns about witchcraft produced an elaborate body of jurisprudence about capital crimes. The book analyzes the legal wrangling that produced the Witchcraft Ordinances in the 1910s, the birth of an anthro-administrative complex surrounding witchcraft in the 1920s, the hotly contested Wakamba Witch Trials of the 1930s, the explosive growth of legal opinion on witch-murder in the 1940s, and the unprecedented state-sponsored cleansings of witches and Mau Mau adherents during the 1950s. A work of anthropological history, this book develops an ethnography of Kamba witchcraft or uoi.
