Toward a geography of black internationalism: Bayard Rustin, nonviolence and the promise of Africa

This article charts the trip made by civil rights leader Bayard Rustin to West Africa in 1952, and examines the unpublished ‘Africa Program’ which he subsequently presented to leading American pacifists. I situate Rustin’s writings within the burgeoning literature on black internationalism which, despite its clear geographical registers, geographers themselves have as yet made only a modest contribution towards. The article argues that within this literature there remains a tendency to romanticize cross-cultural connections in lieu of critically interrogating their basic, and often competing, claims. I argue that closer attention to the geographies of black internationalism, however, allows us to shape a more diverse and practiced sense of internationalist encounter and exchange. The article reconstructs the multiplicity of Rustin’s black internationalist geographies which drew eclectically from a range of Pan-African, American and pacifist traditions. Though each of these was profoundly racialized, they conceptualized race in distinctive ways and thereby had differing understandings of what constituted the international as a geographical arena. By blending these forms of internationalism Rustin was able to promote a particular model of civil rights which was characteristically internationalist in outlook, nonviolent in principle and institutional in composition; a model which in selective and uneven ways continues to shape our understanding of the period

Le développement du tourisme rural en France. Le cas de l'agrotourisme

International audienceEn Europe, en particulier en France, nombre de rapports et de colloques ont été consacrés au tourisme rural depuis le début des années 80. Plus encore que le tourisme en général, le tourisme rural est un phénomène difficile à appréhender, aux contours extrêmement flous. C'est pourquoi, après avoir rappelé la définition du tourisme en général, cet article met d'abord l'accent sur ce qui est en cause dans le flou entourant la notion de tourisme rural, et présente ensuite la contribution que les économistes apportent (peuvent apporter) à la compréhension du phénomène. Parmi les approches économiques possibles, l'approche microéconomique est privilégiée et traite, d'une part, de l'évolution des préférences des Français dans le domaine du loisir touristique, d'autre part, des caractéristiques de l'offre de biens et services marchands dans le domaine du tourisme rural, en particulier celles de l'agrotourisme
