The first objective of this issue of the Revue internationale des études du développement is methodological: the renewed interest in development archives is raising questions, particularly among young researchers, about how to identify, collect and use them, and about their limitations. The dossier will provide a set of methodological guidelines for anyone wishing to use these archives. The second objective will be to lay the foundations for a more ambitious project to study development archives from a perspective at the crossroads of "connected history" and "global historical sociology".

In this century, the land question in Black Africa cannot be discussed outside the context of land grabbing. Private control of areas that are not proportional to the region's average holdings, for agricultural production for commercial/industrial use (Gueder-Jilg 2010), land grabbing undermines all local land governance. Despite the expansion of land grabbing figures in sub-Saharan Africa, the issue has yet to be documented by empirical studies to better shed light on its various contours. In fact, there is a lack of case studies on several aspects of this phenomenon. This book Communities and Land invites original contributions on this issue.

In Africa south of the Sahara, the Sahelian strip stretching from west to east has always been the subject of great concern. Indeed, this area is marked by ecological fragility due to its semi-arid nature. This makes life difficult for those who live there. On this strip, human survival is closely linked to natural resources. Two types of resource extraction are practised here, leading to sometimes bloody competition for control of the scarce local mineral, plant and wildlife resources: moderate community extraction and aggressive industrial extraction. This corridor, which is thus facing a social and ecological tragedy, raises the question of how to exploit natural resources in fragile socio-ecological contexts. The aim of this project is to analyze the role of natural resource exploitation processes in the socio-economic and ecological changes taking place in the Sahelian strip.
