Z. Semi-Bi—~~The Colonial Rail and Highway Network as a Factor of Social and Psychological Mutations : The Case of Ivory Coast (1900-1940)~~. The building of a modern communication network in Ivory Coast increased the physical mobility of the population, which, in turn, generated a new kind of social mobility. Long-range physical displacement, either voluntary or compulsory, short- or long-termed, first freed the travelers from the constraints of the traditional framework of authority, then made them able to turn against colonial rule itself ; which put the colonial authorities in a kind of a quandary, since they sought at the same time to facilitate migrations for economie reasons and to keep them in check for political ones. Finally increased mobility was a powerful factor first in the anticolonial struggle, then in the nation-building process. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
