By 1991 reports, tourism had equaled its formidable numbers in the Batista regime of the 1950s, when Cuba was the "backyard" of the United States and the "playground" of Europe and Latin America. 7 Between 2000 and 2006, estimates for visitors to Cuba were projected from 160,000 to 200,000 visitors per year. 8 Professor William LeoGrande, a specialist in international studies and Cuba, suggests that about thirty thousand of these were legal entries with U.S. licenses while twenty to ‹fty thousand were illegal U.S. entries through Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean nations. These estimates show that even with renewed and even more rigid restrictions from George W. Bush's administration (e.g., on cultural exchange in 2003 and education exchange in 2004), Cuban tourism has not been gravely affected by the ban on travel for U.S. citizens. 9 Additionally, Professor Wayne Smith, former chief of the U.S. Interests Section and present senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, has stated that "while the new restrictions on the travel of Americans and Cuban-Americans to the island have of course reduced revenues from that source, overall revenues from tourism have not fallen, since Canadians, Europeans, and Latin Americans have continued to travel in even greater numbers." 10 Heavy student travel from the United States to Cuba has diminished; in fact, only one of over thirty study abroad programs for U.S./Cuba exchange The Economic Vitamins of Cuba / 21 Bibliography Appadurai, Arjun.

Cette étude pose le problème des critères de définition de l'épopée africaine et remet en question les positions de l'« école de Dakar », qui opte pour l'épopée de type homérique. Ce qui importe en fait, c'est la nature même du récit épique africain et plus encore du récit oral. La question fondamentale touche donc l'existence de ce genre de texte, son élaboration, sa transmission, ses variantes et aussi sa réception, modes que l'analyse littéraire a tendance à ignorer. D'où la notion de « texte introuvable », parce qu'en continuelles transformations. D'où aussi l'importance de la réception - qui inclut l'institution littéraire - dans la reconnaissance de la littérature orale.

L'alternance au Sénégal La plupart des observateurs de la vie politique sénégalaise craignaient une explosion de violence, voire un coup d'État, à l'occasion du scrutin présidentiel de mars 2000. Or, c'est à une alternance pacifique et historique que l'on a assisté, mettant fin à quarante ans d'hégémonie du Parti socialiste. Cet article examine les raisons de la défaite d'Abdou Diouf et les défis que devra relever la nouvelle équipe du président Wade. 1. Lors du premier tour, Abdoulaye Wade, soutenu par les partis de la «gauche» sénégalaise, avait obtenu 30,97 % des suffrages exprimés contre 41,33 % pour Abdou Diouf. 2.

Between the end of the eighteenth and the middle of the nineteenth century, the four cities of Saint-Louis, Gore e, Ru®sque and Dakar were granted municipal status, while their inhabitants acquired French citizenship. However, the acquisition of these political privileges went together with a refusal on the part of these`citizens' to submit themselves to the French code civil. Their resistance manifested itself in particular in the forging of an urban culture that diered from both the metropolitan model and the Senegambian models of the independent kingdoms on the colony's fringes or the societies integrated as protectorates. This article argues that, at the very heart of this colonial project and despite its marked assimilationist and jacobin overtones, a strong project of cultural and political hybridization developed. The inhabitants of the quatre communes forged their own civilite which enabled them to participate in a global colonial culture on the basis of local idioms.``W e have left Senegal, the ballot boxes colony, Blaise's Kingdom, the ten thousand citizens of the four`fully empowered' communes Ð empowered to practice prestidigitation, boxing and kickboxing! Here are the Blacks, the real ones, the pure ones, not the children of universal surage, but those of Old Cham. How polite they are! They rush out of the bush to say Hello to you!'' (Albert Londres, Terre d'eÂbeÁne, 1929) 1. This article is a heavily revised version of a piece that will appear in V. Y. Mudimbe (ed.)
