Le peace corps en Afrique française dans les années 1960. : Histoire d'un succès paradoxal

Abstract

`titrebLe peace corps en Afrique française dans les années 1960.`/titreb`!-- 508:'RES' --bAssuredly the most durable legacy of the Kennedy era, the Peace Corps, at first an object of fun, did not take long, with the arrival of the first volunteers in Africa, to really worry the French, who in response created a French Peace Corps, the Volunteers of Progress. But in « her » Africa, France tried above all to limit the expansion of the Peace Corps, and by doing so, spared it from the trouble of too many volunteers. For long almost ignored by Washington, French-speaking Africa would finally and paradoxically turn out to bee a highly favorable field for the Peace Corps which was in a way protected by the French opposition. And it is precisely in this Africa, amid the desert in Niger that for a while at least the Peace Corps will even attain its ideal.
