This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women's political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women's associations or institutional politics such as political parties; but instead women's silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities, and discusses when and why women's claim making enjoys legitimacy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of 'traditional' authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender, urban anthropology, gender studies, and Islamic studies.

“…Elle permet à la fois de multiplier les sources de revenus et d'équilibrer l'exploitation des différentes facettes agro-écologiques car la pluriactivité joue également un rôle important dans la préservation des ressources : elle évite d'exploiter une seule facette du terroir villageois et donc d'exercer une forte pression sur une même ressource. Inviter les communautés paysannes à concentrer leurs efforts sur une facette agroécologique du territoire villageois présente le risque d'augmenter la pression sur cet espace et de mettre en péril l'équilibre qui participe à la durabilité des ressources (Rey, 2011b).…”

L'autosuffisance en riz est un mythe persistant en République de Guinée. Depuis l'époque coloniale, cet objectif a été continuellement repris par les différentes Républiques qui se sont succédées, au point d'être encore encouragé de nos jours par des bailleurs qui interviennent dans le développement agricole. Cependant, le contexte mondialisé, l'importation de riz d'Asie, l'organisation sociale locale, les itinéraires techniques et les stratégies économiques des ménages rendent peu justifiable cette volonté. Cet article propose de mettre dans une perspective diachronique ces politiques et de les confronter aux réalités locales pour questionner leur pertinence, en se basant sur un ensemble de travaux réalisés en Guinée Maritime entre 2003 et 2016. Self-sufficiency in rice is a persistent myth in Guinea Conakry. Since colonial times, this objective has been continually taken up by the various successive republics, to the point of being encouraged today by donors involved in agricultural development.However, the globalised context, the import of Asian rice, the local social organisation, the crop management system and the economic strategies of the households warranted this approach. This paper proposes to put these policies in a diachronic perspective and to confront them with local realities to question their relevance, based on a set of studies carried out in Coastal Guinea between 2003 and 2016.
