"L'Afrique subsaharienne est un ensemble hétérogène, tant du point de vue culturel, historique que géographique. La place prise par les médias est récente, inégale et toujours liée à des influences extra-continentales. Parce qu'ils sont inséparables des sociétés dans lesquelles ils fonct

ionnent, leur observation (surtout la radio, mieux africanisée) fournit un excellent indicateur du changement de ces sociétés, de leurs espoirs et de leurs illusions. L'auteur, spécialiste de la presse écrite et audiovisuelle, dresse un constat des transferts et des ruptures apportés par les médias en Afrique. Si ces modifications sont porteuses d'espérance et liées aux aspirations à mieux vivre, elles provoquent aussi des effets pervers : dépendance au niveau international et inégalités inter-étatiques. Les médias véhiculent donc autant d'espoirs que d'illusions et posent pour eux-mêmes comme pour les sociétés africaines le problème de la démocratie." (Description de la maison d'édition)

"This report is the result of a joint study of gender aspects in textbooks used in primary schools in Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe, which was commissioned by the Swedish International Development Co-Operation Agency (Sida) to be used as an input to the development of programmes which address the

issue of quality in basic education. The report consists of three separate country-specific studies, supplemented by information gathered through interviews with individuals involved in textbook production, mainly in Zimbabwe. The three case studies examine gender aspects of primary school textbooks, gender policies, stereotyping of gender roles, stereotyping of women’s roles in textbooks, and the role of publishers. The authors state that“gender issues have not featured in African publishing debates. The issues are not yet perceived as a component of African publishing development”, and that there are two inter-related aspects to gender equity in African publishing, namely (1) the role of African women in publishing, and (2) the content of books and editorial policies of publishers. The report makes a number of recommendations that should be addressed by publishers to produce more gender aware textbooks, to involve women in buying books, reading and writing, and to facilitate women entering management levels in publishing and textbook procurement."
