Abstract:This special issue of 'Review of African Political Economy' arose from a conference on struggles in Africa ('Lutter dans les Afriques') held in Paris in January 2010. Many of the papers presented focused on francophone African countries, which usually receive limited coverage in the journal. The emphasis is on 'bottom-up' analyses, reflecting the voices of Africans engaged in day-to-day struggles that arise from structural manifestations of political or economic inequality. An editorial introduction by Miles Larmer is followed by six papers: The extraversion of protest: conditions, history and use of the 'international' in Africa (Marie-Emmanuelle Pommerolle); Internal dynamics, the State, and recourse to external aid: towards a historical sociology of the peasant movement in Senegal since the 1960s (Marie Hrabanski); Peasant struggles in Mali: from defending cotton producers' interests to becoming part of the Malian power structures (Alexis Roy); The politicisation of sexuality and rise of homosexual movements in post-colonial Cameroon (Patrick Awondo); Claiming workers' rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo: the case of the 'Collectif des ex-agents de la Gécamines' (Benjamin Rubbers); West African social movements 'against the high cost of living': from the economic to the political, from the global to the national (Bénédicte Maccatory, Makama Bawa Oumarou and Marc Poncelet).
