Crossing Cultures Senegal Summer 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intercultural Dimensions, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) educational organization) offers a stimulating travel and educational program focused on the French-speaking Republic of Senegal, West Africa. The program dates for the 2011 Crossing Cultures Senegal program are June 27 to July 12. It will be ID’s 21st program to Senegal.<\/p>\n

Led by two former Peace Corps volunteers, this well-established cultural immersion program appeals to people in and out of academia. It works well for those who want to experience family life and community projects in rural areas of this diverse nation and for those with special interests in dance and music training, teaching, literature, environment, medicine, government, NGOs, agriculture, language and health projects.<\/p>\n

The Crossing Cultures Senegal group is small allowing the leaders to tailor activities to the participants’ interests. Many professors, teachers and students of French have been past participants. Reasonable cost. Extended stays for volunteer work or field study can be facilitated.<\/p>\n

# Manga Kuoh (*)<\/strong> est l\u2019auteur d\u2019un r\u00e9cent ouvrage intitul\u00e9 \u201cPalabre africaine sur le socialisme\u201d<\/strong> (Paris: L’Harmattan, 2009 – 167 pages; \u20ac16,00; ISBN: 2296081819- 9782296081819) L\u2019auteur soul\u00e8ve d\u2019importantes interrogations: Une conception africaine de l’organisation sociale peut-elle s’appuyer efficacement sur le socialisme? Quelle part cette doctrine et ses protagonistes prirent-ils dans l’effort d’\u00e9mancipation de l’Afrique et l’affirmation des jeunes Etats apr\u00e8s la d\u00e9colonisation? Quelle fut dans ce contexte la nature r\u00e9elle de l’alternative entre capitalisme et socialisme? Autant de questions qu’aborde Palabre africaine sur le socialisme en revisitant les lectures du socialisme des premiers leaders politiques africains: Senghor, Nyerere et Bourguiba et leurs versions de ce que l’on a nomm\u00e9 le “socialisme africain” ; Nkrumah et Cabral qui ont intellectuellement assum\u00e9 leur inspiration marxiste-l\u00e9niniste; et enfin S\u00e9kou Tour\u00e9 qui s’est servi du socialisme pour rationaliser l’exercice d’un pouvoir tyrannique. Ces lectures, qui ont passionn\u00e9 en leur temps Africains et africanistes, restent d’actualit\u00e9 en tant que contribution \u00e0 la pens\u00e9e politique universelle. Conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la tradition de la palabre africaine, destin\u00e9e \u00e0 faire revivre le pass\u00e9 pour \u00e9clairer l’avenir, elles permettent de tirer des enseignements pr\u00e9cieux en vue de la construction d’un avenir meilleur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
