This book analyzes the mutations of women's tontines in Bondoukou (Côte d'Ivoire) in the face of contemporary economic and technological transformations. Far from disappearing, traditional solidarities are being reinvented through digitization, financial inclusion and gradual formalization. Tontines remain spaces of trust, mutual aid and redistribution, where women redefine their power to act and their place in the local economy. The use of tools such as Mobile Money or WhatsApp expands networks while preserving the relational dimension. The study mobilizes the concept of negotiated modernity to shed light on the interactions between economy, culture and gender, and highlights the role of social capital as a resilience resource. It argues in favor of a modernity that is rooted in solidarity and driven by women as agents of social and economic innovation.
