B. Jewsiewicki — Towards a Historical Sociology of Population in Zaire : Proposals for the Analysis of the Demographie Regime.
The author asserts that it is unthinkable to separate phenomena which are biological, such as birth or mortality, from the social, cultural, political and economie ones. To speak of a demographie regime characteristic of Africa is an abuse of language. At present, the empirical data necessary to document the variety of African demographie regimes and their transformations are limited. However, historical information is ample enough to reject the idea of stagnation. The readiness of local institutions to manipulate the demographie regime is beginning to be documented. Political regulation of the social status of dependents was one way to manipulate socio-economic and demographie behavior. The demographie model of very high fertility results from a reorganization of power relations within colonial Society. To carry out research successfully, we must begin by analysing the transformation of units of reproduction, production and consumption. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
