<p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>Augustin Emane and Thelma Bendome-Emane's book presents an original overview of labor law in Mali. It also raises many questions not only about the need to legislate but also about the art of legislating. As a commented Malian labor code nourished by comparative law as well as a practical guide to labor law the commented Malian labor code will be an invaluable tool for researchers judges lawyers trade unionists human resources managers and company directors each of whom will find something to act on. When Augustin Emane asked me to write the preface to this book I accepted enthusiastically out of esteem for him and his expertise in labor law in general and African labor law in particular; because of the specific nature of labor law at the crossroads of social political and economic issues; and because of the usefulness of commentaries on monuments such as codes whose purpose is to facilitate their interpretation i.e. to determine beyond the text the higher standard to be applied. Having some experience with code commentaries I thought my task would be easy. But when I came across the commentary to be prefaced I immediately realized how difficult the task would be given the wealth of innovations in the work. </em><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>Prof. Paul-Gérard Pougoué (The University of Yaounde II Cameroon).

The author scrutinizes Mali's labor law unearthing its founding texts. Taking the law seriously means knowing its foundations. The author provides us with all the tools governing the world of work as seen by the State since independence. In so doing he uncovers the roots of the system and not without elegance exposes its colonial antecedents. This exceptional document makes it easy to compare Mali with other countries such as Gabon for which we have an excellent similar study by the same author. by the same author (2013 Libreville Editions Raponda Walker). This to-and-fro between the legal registers of African and non-African countries lays the foundations for an in-depth study of politically historically geographically and socially distant fields. </em><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>Mamadou Diawara (Goethe University Frankfurt Germany). Excerpt from the afterword...</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>L'ouvrage d'Augustin Emane et de Thelma Bendome-Emane présente un panorama original du droit du travail en vigueur au Mali.
