“…Conversely, the probability of strongly disagreeing with the statement that people must pay taxes decreases by 1.4 percentage points for urban residents compared to rural ones, all else being equal. These results could be explained by the fact that rural areas often lack access to basic public services (Djahini‐Afawoubo, 2016; Okey & Djahini‐Afawoubo, 2020).…”

The analysis of the key factors influencing the perception of tax compliance in WAEMU countries is the primary goal of this study. In particular, the study examines how intrinsic factors, such as honesty and the perception of the tax administration's capacity to detect fraud, affect perceptions of tax compliance in the WAEMU. Ordered probit regression was used to examine Afrobarometer data. According to the findings, honest citizens are more likely to be compliant, whereas a lack of good detection skills is negatively correlated with the perception of tax compliance. The results also reveal cross‐country differences driven by the levels of institutional trust, corruption and democracy.

“…Some capoeiristas worked as bank tellers or tailors, others as chefs, while some remained underemployed or dependent on family members. Will worked as a videographer and editor for a private company, yet it is common for Togolese to work for several months without being paid (Okey and Djahini-Afawoubo 2020). Despite hardship, Will and the other Nukunu founders continued to devote time and earnings to capoeira.…”

Playing with Origins: Racial Self‐Making and Embodying History in Togolese Capoeira

This article discusses how contemporary expressive cultural projects in Lomé, Togo, highlight practices of racial self‐making emerging from urban African contexts through a martial art developed by enslaved Afro‐Brazilians in colonial Brazil. This specific case analyzes Nukunu, the country's first capoeira group, and their ideological constructions of self, people, and historical time. Through capoeira—as a practice that I suggest makes interventions into these three spheres—Togolese martial artists creatively leverage the historical ties across the Black Atlantic as ideological and embodied resources for facing the particular challenges of twenty‐first‐century neocolonial structures. By analyzing Nukunu's views on their own racial subjectivity as an extended history of racial oppression, as well as a reenactment of the Ewe ethnic group's origin story, I argue that Togolese martial artists radically reframe notions of self, peoplehood, and historical time through enacting and performing racialized diasporic forms.
