Sedrata est une ville médiévale enfouie sous les sables près de Ouargla (Algérie). L?essor de ce carrefour du commerce transsaharien et de la traite d?esclaves est lié aux Berbères ibadites, une minorité musulmane dont les membres effectuent chaque année un pèlerinage sur le site. Les sources arabes et les archives archéologiques inédites de l?époque coloniale éclairent l?histoire de ce centre saharien, son organisation économique et religieuse, la décoration singulière de ses demeures.

Esta obra colectiva se propone explorar varias facetas de la historia de la educación popular en la Europa mediterránea en los siglos XIX y XX, sobre la cual no existe ningún ensayo similar. El lector encontrará a la vez amplias síntesis que cubren el conjunto de la época contemporánea y estudios más concretos relativos entre otros puntos a clases para adultos y obreros, escuelas de formación profesional, Universidades Populares, cine documental y bibliotecas de sociedades populares. Al abordar los territorios y las formas de la educación popular, cabe interrogarse históricamente en torno a los destinatarios de las varias iniciativas de educación popular, o sea las clases populares (por su exclusión de las redes escolares), pero también al conjunto de los actores y a las estrategias que les movieron a impulsar tales iniciativas.

A fresh analysis of the post-colonial war in Mozambique that contributes to debates about conflict, peacebuilding, development and nationalism and offers insights into the nature of contemporary politics and the current conflict. The 1976-1992 civil war which opposed the Government of Frelimo and the Renamo guerrillas (among other actors) is a central event in the history of Mozambique. Aiming to open up a new era of studies of the war, this book re-evaluates this period from a number of different local perspectives in an attempt to better understand the history, complexity and multiple dynamics of the armed conflict. Focusing at local level on either a province or a single village, the authors analyse the conflict as a "total social phenomena" involving all elements of society and impacting on every aspect of life across the country. The chapters examine Frelimo and Renamo as well as private, popular and state militias, the Catholic Church, NGOs and traders. Drawing on previously unexamined sources such as local and provincial state archives, religious archives, the guerrilla's own documentation and interviews, the authors uncoveralternative dimensions of the civil war. The book thus enables a deeper understanding of the conflict and its actors as well as offering an explanatory framework for understanding peacemaking, the nature of contemporary politics,and the current conflict in the country.
