Oasis insulaires dans la mondialisation : les ribeiras des îles du Cap Vert, des espaces fragmentés et fragiles en voie de marginalisation
Résumé
The Cape Verde islands lived cowered in microcosms as if turning their backs to their coasts, particularly in the XXth century, during the long retrenchment era of Salazar's days. On islands where aridity increases, from the wetter climate of the mountainous interior, to the coasts, the Cape Verdean oases, constituted by the downstream parts of the valleys, the ribeiras, appear as small, very fragmented areas where, nevertheless, a more performing and less dependent on climatic hazards form of agriculture is possible. For some twenty years, the republic of Cape Verde has joined the global world, which led to a spatial reorganization where the agricultural ribeiras stand on the side-lines. At the same time, on the Boa Vista Island and its neighbour Sal, beach resorts increase in numbers, like as many "neo-oases" that were created ex nihilo.
