Routledge - Call for book Chapter Contributions:

Schools and national identities in French-speaking Africa: political choices,
means of transmission, and appropriation

Editors:

Linda Gardelle, ENSTA Bretagne (FR)

Camile Jacob, University of Portsmouth (UK)

Please send a one-page outline of your proposal for a 5,000-6,000 words
contribution to the volume by 4 May to linda.gardelle at ensta-bretagne.fr and
camille.jacob at port.ac.uk.

Authors will be notified by 20 May, and full chapters will be due on 18 August
2019.

The volume will be published by Routledge in the Series ''Perspectives on
Education in Africa'' in 2020.

The aim of this volume is to provide an in-depth and transdisciplinary
understanding of the role of schools in the various processes of
identity-building, and to showcase research from and about countries outside
the former British empire, either as individual case studies or through a
comparative framework within or beyond the continent. It will include
contributions focusing on the multiple and changing role of schools in the
construction of collective identities and the (re)production of national
imaginings in francophone Africa. It will also consider how different actors
(media, diasporas, social networks, religious communities) shape the
appropriation, formulation and implementation of curriculums and discourses
about education. Chapters can be empirical or theoretical, based on one case
study or on comparative work, and should reflect critically and reflexively on
the data, methodologies or conceptual frameworks used. While the term
''Francophone Africa'' is problematic, erasing the multilingual and
translingual realities and reproducing a Euro-centric lens, there is
comparatively little published in English on countries which were not formerly
colonised by Britain, and the particularities of French and Belgian colonial
rules and continued French influence is helpful in providing an initial focus.
This volume which will be published in the Routledge series “Perspectives on
Education in Africa” and aims to foreground research from countries often
overlooked in Anglophone publications. Chapters questioning the relevance of
this colonial frame of dividing the continent, whether through comparative or
single case studies, are encouraged.
