    Afrique et développement, Vol. XXXIV, No. 2, 2009, pp. 129–158 © Conseil pour le développement de la recherche en sciences sociales en Afrique, 2009 (ISSN 0850-3907) Des lançados aux expatriés :1 « l’Ethnie2 Blanche »3 entre les fleuves Sénégal et Casamance Armonia Pérez Crosas* Résumé La région comprise entre les fleuves Sénégal et Casamance a un long parcours historique de contact et de présence de l’homme Blanc occidental. Même si les personnages et les situations qu’ont conformé « l’Ethnie Blanche » pendant le temps ont été très variés, il existe des caractéristiques qui se répètent, des continuités associées avec l’ambiguïté du statut social, des relations entre les sexes ou les spécialisations économiques, à la frontière entre le local et le global. L’article explore cette durabilité d’une frontière culturelle, en proposant des pistes de recherche à partir de la figure des lançados. L’analyse montre des indices, des parallélismes réitérés entre les effets des varia- tions dans les conditions frontalières sur le collectif « Blanc », en oscillant entre le maintien de son identité et l’intégration dans les communautés autochtones. L’auteur estime qu’une perspective de longue durée aiderait à comprendre l’articulation actuelle des contingents de coopérants et d’agents économiques qui arrivent à la région, compréhension qui pourrait être extrapolée à d’autres zones du continent. Abstract The region located between the Senegal and the Casamance rivers has a long history of the presence of Western white men. Although the characters and situations modeled by the ‘White Ethnic Group’ over time have been very varied, there are characteristics that are repeated, continuities associated with the ambiguity of social status, gender relations or economic specializations, on the boundary between both * Agrupament per a la Recerca i la Docència d’Àfrica (ARDA), Université de Barcelone.

  • Lacerda's Journey to Cazembe in 1798
    mi^&BP'i T' 1 CORNELL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY : Ro^cti ^iryii^'c€^C .J^c'^:^. ^^^ LONDON STAMFORD STRXRT, rBMTUD BY WIIXIAM OtOWKS AND SONS, AND CHARING CROSS, ... I' S PKEFACE. The interest excited by the recent letters of Dr. Livingstone concerning the country of the Cazembe and neighbouring regions of Central Africa, has induced the Council of the Koyal Geographical Society to publish, for the information of its Fellows and the public, the present volume of translations of narratives of Portuguese journeys into those little-known parts of the African interior. The first in order, and the most important, of these narra- tives, is that of Dr. de Lacerda, who led an expedition to Cazembe near the close of the last century. For the trans- lation of this (copiously annotated), the Council are indebted to Captain E. F. Burton, who is so well qualified, by his great experience in African travel and his philological acquirements, for such an undertaking. The second narrative, the route- journal of the Pombeiros P. J. Baptista and Amaro Jose, who traversed Africa from Angola to Tette, and crossed, therefore, the recent line of march of Dr. Livingstone be- tween Cazembe and Lake Bangweolo, has been translated by Mr. B. A. Beadle, Chancellor to the Portuguese Consulate in London, Captain Burton revising and editing this portion of the volume. Of the third narrative, that of Messrs. Monteiro and Gamitto, whose journey to Cazembe was undertaken in 1831, it has been thought sufficient to reprint a resume that had previously appeared from the able pen of Dr.

Nepal. Dear friends, Children deserve a better world. For nearly 100 years, we have done whatever it takes to create a world where no young child dies from a preventable cause, all children learn from a quality basic education, and violence against children is not tolerated. Where every child has the best chance for a bright future. In 2015, as we celebrated great progress for children, Save the Children strengthened its resolve to reach millions who are still denied the health care, education and protection every child deserves. The final year of the Millennium Development Goals was a time of pride, knowing the many ways Save the Children’s leadership contributed to extraordinary achievements for children. As the global community agreed to new targets for 2030, Save the Children embarked on an ambitious new plan to ensure every last child has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life.
