| Publisher Description: This book uses empirical research to bring together a broad range of protest contexts in twelve chapters. From the formation of Maroon societies in the early colonial period, to female mobilisation in authoritarian contexts, via urban youth culture, women or mineworkers in trade unionism, as well as pro- and anti- gay rights activists, the protagonists here all insist upon their rights to protest in a variety of ways. Sometimes popular protest is expressed through religion, often (and sometimes violently) by young people, exasperated by their long wait for social achievement. Electoral wars and the formation of militias reveal a geography of violence in urban areas, which, in some sectarian excesses, can be displaced to rural areas, as described in the study on Boko Haram. Cet ouvrage regroupe un ventail comprenant douze contextes de contestation. De la formation de communaut s marronnes au d but de la colonisation, aux mobilisations f minines en contexte autoritaire, en passant par les cultures urbaines, les cultures syndicales des femmes et des travailleurs dans les mines, les contestations pro ou contre la libert des homosexuels, tous font pr valoir leur pouvoir de contestation de mani re plurielle. La voie religieuse est un domaine o s'exerce parfois de mani re violente, les protestations de populations souvent jeunes, en attente de mobilit sociale. Les guerres lectorales et la constitution de milices dessinent une g ographie de la violence en milieu urbain, violence qui trouve se d placer en milieu rural dans certaines d rives sectaires comme en t moigne l' tude sur Boko Haram.
