Abstract

Français English

Mobility, one of the fundamental functions of any society, is now a key concept in research into migration in the human and social sciences. In an approach to migration based essentially on identity, security or usefulness, several African, European and American states have adopted immigration laws to limit the movement of people and access to the right of asylum. In the light of current concerns about migration throughout the world, this international symposium in tribute to Professor ALLOU Kouamé René is intended to provide a framework for analysing the migration policies that African governments, whether or not they are subject to the diktat of Western public authorities, are trying to implement in order to remedy these identity crises as part of the construction of the nation-state.

Argument

Mobility, one of the fundamental functions of any society, is nowadays an inescapable co<ncept in research on migration in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Based on the mobility turn or new mobilities paradigm approach, researchers have defined four types of mobility, including residential mobility, everyday mobility, travel and migration (Nathalie O., Salzbrunn M., and Stock M., 2018). These four types of mobility are linked to spatial mobility. This operates as a pole alongside the notion of social mobility, which refers to promotion, downgrading, social reclassification, change of status, etc. Analysis of mobility therefore requires these two dimensions to be taken into account.

The concept of mobility is polysemous, and in this study of Africa we are particularly interested in the movement of people and goods, and the transfer of knowledge and know- how between different geographical areas. Migration can be voluntary, forced, temporary or permanent. The historiography of migration makes it possible to reconstruct the main historical sequences of human mobility, including settlement migration, labour or economic migration, forced migration, clandestine migration, etc.

Increasingly, studies are analysing the gendered history of migration in order to enrich the social history of mobility (N. L. Green, 2020). They are also looking at new forms of mobility, including emigrants from the South in search of a better life in the North, eco- refugees, internally displaced persons and refugees, whose presence has multiplied following the outbreak of numerous low-intensity conflicts on most continents. Some studies look at border, irregular and commuter migration, the economics of migration (early child labour in the domestic, mining and plantation economies, human trafficking, etc.), and the demographic, religious and climatic factors linked to mobility. Other studies analyse 'reticular' and entrepreneurial migration (G.-F. Dumont, 2006).

These different migratory flows are at the heart of the global agenda. For radical populist parties in Europe and some African populations, immigrants are a source of insecurity and pressure on the health system and schools. Their integration into the labour market encourages native-born unemployment. Contrary to these views, in some political and state circles, welcoming migrants is more a source of labour, innovation and economic and social development for the host region. These reasons no doubt explain why migratory flows are currently at the heart of heated controversy.

A number of African, European and American countries have adopted immigration laws to limit the movement of people and access to the right to asylum, based essentially on identity, security or usefulness. In the light of current concerns about migration around the world, this colloquium aims to take a long-term look at the issue of mobility in the African context, highlighting its impact on the construction of identities.

Can the policies of containing migratory movements through border protection programmes and institutional means, which are making their presence felt in the West (notably the Frontex Agency), curb the mobility of men and women from the South? In truth, these are manifestations of the vanity of governments that pretend to forget that man, in his essence, is an eternal migrant. In Africa, since the time of homo sapiens, human beings have been perpetually on the move. The reasons for these migrations, which have been going on for millions of years, relate to the social, economic, climatic and political order). These movements, which vary in intensity, take different forms not only according to time and space, but also according to social environments and civilisations.

In Africa, the gradual drying up of the Sahara, the wars of territorial conquest waged by various categories of state power (empires, kingdoms, confederations), the hunt for "ebony skin" that was an integral part of the Atlantic slave trade over two centuries, and the deployment of slave-owning states that resulted from this form of "globalisation", led to the displacement of populations in search of refuge, and to changes in the map of human densities and ethnic and linguistic configurations.

The colonial economy, which brought this long period of historical change to a close and required an abundant workforce to maximise the profits to be made, resulted in the persistence of forced or involuntary migrations of populations towards areas of exploitation, controlled by European capital.

At the end of colonisation, which resulted in the division of territories into labour reservoirs in the hinterland and so-called "modern" economic activity basins on the coasts and in urban areas, labour migration predominated. However, we should not overlook the historical significance of flight migration, which is attributable to the maintenance of order, high tax pressure and military recruitment. All these population movements have redrawn the map of territories. The colonial process thus gave rise to a new geographical situation, with deforestation and soil impoverishment among other damaging dynamics of change.

In the post-independence period, climate change, reflected in irregular rainfall, the degradation of agricultural land, the drying up of watercourses and the disappearance of plant cover, consolidated massive population movements towards forest areas favourable to the plantation economy and urban areas offering numerous opportunities for self-employment and salaried jobs. Terrorism, civil war and famine have added to the scourges mentioned above. Both in West Africa and in other parts of the continent, they act as powerful driving forces for the movement of people both within the country and internationally.

These different forms of human mobility are accompanied by a mixing of populations and, by extension, the creation of new identities. Not only have they shaped the landscapes, the social and cultural footprints and the political structures of the continent. They have created spaces for sharing and inclusion, an environment conducive to hybridisation and the development of systems for survival and organisation.

When we talk about the creation of identities, we need to look back to the Pharaonic cycle and point to researchers who are questioning the real contribution of Pharaonic Egypt to the construction of West African civilisations. This is a point made in the work of the researcher Cheikh Anta Diop. Among the specialists who cast doubt on his thesis is archaeologist Damien Agut (francetvinfo.fr, 2019), who points out that "Pharaonic Egypt was connected with Sudan and the Levant. But it had no trans-Saharan links with West Africa". The aim of this conference is to re-examine the contribution of ancient Egypt to the creation of identities in sub-Saharan Africa.

The building of various empires (Ghana/Wagadou, Mali, Songhai, Monomotapa, etc.) and kingdoms (Ifé, Haoussa, Ashanti, etc.) encouraged human and cultural intermingling. Through trade, and sometimes war, the Sudanese Islamised certain regions of Africa and organised the transfer of technologies relating to iron metallurgy, weaving and gold extraction.

The mobility of Europeans and Africans in Africa at the time of the Atlantic slave trade and during colonisation created new cultural identities that were more or less mixed with the local populations. This European presence, which contributed to the introduction of crops and agricultural techniques hitherto unknown in Africa, and of new cults carried by the missionary Church, was a driving force behind the evolution of mentalities and tangible and intangible cultures. It also led to changes in ethnicity, ethnicity, the "detribalisation" of city dwellers, etc. (J-P Chrétien and G. Prunier, 2003).

The economic crisis of the 1980s, land issues and access to citizenship are increasingly at the heart of conflicts between immigrants and nationals in Africa. These conflicts hamper the integration of migrants into host societies and are at the root of many of the identity crises observed in Africa.

This international colloquium in tribute to Professor ALLOU Kouamé René is intended to provide a framework for analysing the migration policies that African governments, whether or not they are subject to the diktat of Western public authorities, are trying to implement in order to remedy these identity crises as part of the construction of the nation-state. It provides an opportunity for researchers in the social sciences and humanities to revisit the issue of the mobility of people and goods, the transfer of knowledge and know-how, and the reshaping of identities, all of which make sense in terms of the integration of peoples in Africa. A number of areas of work will help to organise the exchanges expected at this transdisciplinary international conference.
