| Résumé/Présentation | "Grounded in both theory and ethnography, this volume insists on taking social positionality seriously when accounting for Africa?s current age of polarizing wealth. To this end, the book advocates a multidimensional view of African societies, in which social positions consist of a variety of intersecting social powers - or ?capitals' ? including wealth, education, social relationships, religion, ethnicity, and others. Accordingly, the notion of social im/mobilities emphasizes the complexities of current changes, taking us beyond the prism of a one-dimensional social ladder, for social moves cannot always be apprehended through the binaries of ?gains' and ?losses'."
