"Après plus de trente années d'indépendance, le continent africain est encore aujourd'hui à la recherche de sa propre identité. L'Afrique s'interroge sur son avenir culturel, économique et politique. Sur le plan culturel, la quasi-totalité des pays africains restent largement tributaires des

importations; ces importations ne résolvent qu'en partie la carence et la difficulté des jeunes nations francophones d'Afrique. Il y a véritablement de quoi s'inquiéter, lorsqu'on observe la faiblesse des structures de production, de distribution de livres en Afrique. Les Etats qui en ont les moyens résolvent leur déficit par l'importation massive de livres étrangers; solution qui n'est que du court terme. En Côte-d'Ivoire, le livre pour enfants représente moins de 2 % des productions locales. On ne lui accorde guère un meilleur sort dans les importations. En fait, les conclusions auxquelles l'auteur est parvenu étaient prévisibles. Ce que l'on savait moins, c'était le degré de la dépendance et le poids de cette carence sur les systèmes éducatifs des pays au sud du Sahara. A l'examen des structures de production (maisons d'édition, imprimeries, services d'édition des universités, etc.), de distribution (librairies, bibliothèques publiques et privées et autres centres de distribution, etc.), l'auteur note une dépendance quantitative et qualitative du livre pour enfants en Afrique noire francophone et spécifiquement en Côte-d'Ivoire. La dépendance s'explique aussi par les apports d'organisations internationales, dont l'ACCT et l'UNESCO." (Dos de couverture)

"Since the mid-1970s there has been a marked increase in the local production of children's literature in South Africa. This thesis considers various issues relevant to the field of children's literature in South Africa, through both traditional means of research as well as through a series of inter

views with people involved in the field itself. It also examines racial and gender stereotypes in children's literature and the manner in which people's attitudes to and about children's literature are shaped. The author stresses the need to broaden the scope of current publishing methods and the ways in which publishers foresee themselves doing this is considered. The limitations of current methods of distribution are similarly investigated, and some more innovative approaches, a number of which are currently being used in other parts of Southern Africa, are suggested. The gap between the 'black' and the 'white' markets is reviewed, and possible methods of overcoming this divide are considered." (Hans M.
