“…Ces deux dimensions sont toutefois liées dialectiquement. Il semble que, dans la majorité des pays, les femmes soient inhibées tant dans l' émer-gence de l'intention entrepreneuriale que dans son épanouissement (Allen et al, 2008). Nous examinerons donc en premier lieu, le construit de l'intention entrepreneuriale puis les deux modes d'inhibition de l'intention entrepreneuriale féminine.…”

Mueller (2004) démontre que les intentions entrepreneuriales des femmes sont moindres que celles des hommes surtout dans les pays en voie de développement. Qu’en est-il dans un pays en économie de transition, comme l’Égypte ? Tout en relançant le questionnement de Mueller (2004), cette étude articule une comparaison sexuée et une approche genrée pour mieux comprendre le rôle des rapports hommes/femmes dans la formation de l’intention entrepreneuriale féminine dans une culture donnée. Grâce à une recherche quantitative menée en 2010 auprès de 320 étudiants égyptiens francophones au Caire, les auteurs ont pu démontrer que les étudiantes égyptiennes ont fortement le désir d’entreprendre et de concrétiser assez rapidement leurs projets, qu’elles sont assez confiantes dans leurs compétences à créer et conscientes des obstacles qu’elles rencontreront. La recherche révèle également certaines ambivalences des projets entrepreneuriaux des jeunes égyptiennes liées aux rapports de genre. Notre recherche complète ainsi les conclusions de Mueller (2004) et Langowitz et Minitti (2007). Nous pouvons arguer du fait que dans un pays en économie de transition le déséquilibre des motivations entrepreneuriales des femmes et des hommes est limité.Mueller (2004) demonstrates that women’s entrepreneurial intentions are lower than those of men especially in developing countries. What about a country in an economy of transition, such as Egypt?, Furthering Mueller’s exploration, we try to articulate in this paper a sex-based comparison and a gender-based approach to better understand the difference between male and female entrepreneurial intentions in the Egyptian culture. Thanks to a quantitative research led in 2010 among 320 French-speaking Egyptian students in Cairo, we are able to demonstrate that female Egyptian students have a strong desire to undertake and to implement rather quickly their projects. Also, they are quite confident in their entrepreneurial skills and aware of obstacles that they will meet. Nevertheless, the study reveals certain Egyptian male students’ ambivalences towards their entrepreneurial future that unveil a set of important gender issues. Therefore, the present study completes Mueller’s (2004) and Langowitz and Minitti (2007) conclusions, we can argue then that in a developing country, the imbalance between men and womens’ entrepreneurial motivations is limited.Mueller (2004) demuestra que la intención emprendedora en las mujeres es menor que en los hombres, sobre todo en países en vías de desarrollo. ¿Qué ocurre en un país con una economía de transición como Egipto? Al mismo tiempo que relanza la problemática de Mueller (2004), este artículo expone una comparación según el sexo y un enfoque según el género para comprender mejor el papel de las relaciones hombres/m...

“…And she confronts them with their past hidden in her strong memory in order to remind their African roots. Rather than providing salve for the external wounds of oppression and racism, her spiritual and practical healing is internal and psychological, according to Elam (2007). In that vein, Aunt Ester is an icon of hope, inspiration and most importantly, the African heritage that will always live in America with black people.…”

August Wilson’s play, Two Trains Running is the seventh play of his Century Cycle which chronicles black people’s experiences in American society. Since the structure and dynamics of each society are distinctive, the experiences of individuals belonging to that society are naturally shaped by these factors. The complicated relationship between societal norms, values, and power structures play a pivotal role in shaping the individual and collective experiences in society. In that respect, the social practices of black people in American society are notably outstanding as they have been subjected to slavery and segregation through systematic racism. Ideologically, racism has been used as a strategic tool to control the black people, who were pushed out of social boundaries because of their skin color and to sustain the white dominance for economic and politic reasons. Significantly, black authors have tried to be the voice of the oppressed black people on the literary arena and considered the theater as a way of resistance. Based on the societal awareness aroused by black authors, this study analyzes the struggle of black people in Wilson’s Two Trains Running. Drawing attention to the significant fact that black people are the members of the white society with their loyalty to their own cultural values and their African-American identity, Wilson is an antiracist playwright. Relatedly, the central focus of this study is the ways of coping with the unequal, unfair and discriminative practices of the white supremacy.
