V. Vernière — ~~Reflexions on Mavginality, with Illustrations from Fieldwork in African Urban and Suburban Milieux~~. The concept of marginality as developed by the American urban sociologists of the Chicago school is to a large extent irrelevant in new African towns and French specialists have proposed to speak, instead, of "under-integrated urban growth." While typologies with a technical basis (importance and nature of collective equipments and amenities, land rights, etc.) remain very useful it may be more convenient to classify marginal townsmen in two groups: those who are expelled from the urban centres by the authorities and resettled on peripheral official allotments; those who spontaneoulsy start squatting down illegally in the urban fringe. Official resettlement is usually repressive by nature and finally less successful than spontaneous squatting as shown by recent developments in Dakar and Douala. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
