For the newcomer, the social dynamic of a Francophone minority host community demonstrates a conjunction of identities that are linked to her or his daily life. This conjunction provides a glimpse of the newcomer's relatively strong cultural attachment that is tested by the migratory environment's adaptive requirements. Intracultural and intercultural social interactions tend to open up to processes of detribalization in general and, more specifically, to a reversal of roles between husband and wife. Consequently, the potential intervention of a social worker within the family setting of the newcomer is required, but not without difficulty. Using the data from our study entitled “Inclusion de nouveaux arrivants en milieu scolaire franco-manitobain”, this analysis attempts to highlight new family challenges in Canada's Francophone minority communities. Primarily through semi-directed interviews, we noted a change in roles between husband and wife requiring new practices in family-oriented social intervention in an immigrant context.

Cocaine perfectly symbolizes globalization itself. As a performance and insertion enhancer, cocaine embodies a certain “spirit” of the times marked by the cult of competition. The globalization of its use coincides with the increase of international commercial activity following the emergence of China and the integration of the former Soviet empire in the world capitalist system. Cocaine traffic flows through maritime commercial routes, especially by means of container ships. Once a staple of Western elites, cocaine consumption is now increasing worldwide and can be seen as a symbol of mass consumer society.

As a new agent in the Senegalese literary field, who was initially excluded by intellectual and editorial circles, and an opponent to Negritude and Senghor's politics, Ousmane Sembène was not able to produce a proper paratext about his work. After having shown Sembène's editorial trajectory, this article analyses the rhetorical strategies that transform the peritext and the text itself into spaces which enable Sembène to legitimize his work and present himself as a popular writer.

The major idea being expressed in the literature on population and development is that development in Africa and the Third World in general is impossible without first modernizing reproductive behavior—for example, adopting birth control. It must be noted, however, that opinions are less clear-cut on the issue of migration. There is a lot of ambiguity about how the role of migration is seen in the development process on the part of economic planners, political decision-makers and the people themselves. This article examines some of the questions at stake which explain the confusion around the migration phenomenon and which create stumbling-blocks to attempts at migration policy.

Anthropologists have long been inculcated to employ «methodological atheism» in their study of the exotic religions of other peoples. Such an approach no longer seems appropriate for the kinds of fieldwork being done today. I briefly examine the causes of this «tectonic shift» in anthropology, as well as its consequences for field studies of religion. Following this, I explore the new possibilities that are opening up with the emergence of what certain authors call «post-secular» anthropology, among them, a new dialogue with theology.
