Abstract

Comment s'est construit, au fil du XXe siècle et jusqu'à nos jours, le gouvernement de "la" nature en Asie, en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient ? De la création des premières réserves de chasse dans les colonies africaines au nom de la protection de la faune aux modèles actuels de conservation communautaire privilégiés par les organisations internationales, cette ambitieuse recherche croisant histoire, géographie, science politique et écologie, revient sur les négociations et luttes provoquées par le "colonialisme vert". Qu'il s'agisse de la gestion impériale des forêts à Singapour ou au Liban, de l'introduction de nouvelles espèces dans l'Afrique coloniale française ou de la promotion de la "récolte" de la grande faune, des conflits contemporains autour du tigre, de l'éléphant et du crocodile marin en Inde, ces études font ressortir l'entremêlement des temps coloniaux et post-coloniaux. Avant comme après les indépendances, protéger la nature, c'est exercer le pouvoir. Et hier comme aujourd'hui, la conservation globale de la nature aux Suds évolue au rythme d'une contradiction permanente entre prédation et protection.

Abstract

How did decolonization impact on Britain itself? And how did Britain manage its transition from colonial power to postcolonial nation? Sarah Stockwell explores this question principally via the history of the overseas engagements of key institutions that had acquired roles within Britain's imperial system: the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Bank of England, the Royal Mint, and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Using a huge range of fresh archival sources, the author shows how these institutions fashioned new roles at the end of empire, reconfiguring their activities for a postcolonial world and deploying their expertise to deliver technical assistance essential for the development of institutions in new Commonwealth states. This study not only pioneers an entirely new approach to the history of the British end of the British empire, but also provides an equally novel cross-sectoral analysis of institution-building during decolonization and highlights the colonial roots of British postcolonial aid.

Abstract

How did African women negotiate the complex political, economic, and social forces of colonialism in their daily lives? How did they make meaningful lives for themselves in a world that challenged fundamental notions of work, sexuality, marriage, motherhood, and family? By considering the lives of ordinary African women -- farmers, queen mothers, midwives, urban dwellers, migrants, and political leaders -- in the context of particular colonial conditions at specific places and times, Women in African C

Abstract

Tenir un discours raisonnable sur l'Afrique subsaharienne ne va pas de soi, tant l'Afrique est considérée dans le discours occidental comme l'Autre absolu et jamais pour elle-même. Ces études montrent les conséquences de l'extrémisme de tels discours. A partir du thème de la contemporanéité, elles cherchent à rendre compte de quelques formes de l'imagination politique, sociale et culturelle.

Abstract

Der Glaube an die Segnungen, aber auch die Zwangsläufigkeit des technischen Fortschritts entwickelte sich in der Phase des Hochimperialismus zu einer wirkmächtigen Ideologie, von der auch deutsche Ingenieure profitierten.Das Buch legt den Schwerpunkt der Analyse auf die ehemaligen Kolonien Deutsch Ost- und Deutsch-Südwestafrika. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Gruppe der technischen Experten, die mit dem Bau von Eisenbahnen, Straßen und Häfen einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Machtsicherung, Erschließung und Ausbeutung der Kolonien hatten. Neben der Exotik, monetären Anreizen sowie dem Prestige, das eine Tätigkeit in Afrika versprach, zog es Ingenieure vor allem aufgrund einer speziellen "Ideologie der Erschließung" in die sogenannten Schutzgebiete. Die spezielle Gruppenidentität als Kolonialingenieure, die sich in der Folge herausbildete, lässt sich in Artikeln und Vorträgen bis in die 1940er Jahre nachweisen und wirkte sich selbst noch auf die Ansätze der frühen Entwicklungshilfe aus.

Abstract

This detailed and authoritative volume changes our conceptions of 'imperial' and 'African' history. Frederick Cooper gathers a vast range of archival sources in French and English to achieve a truly comparative study of colonial policy toward the recruitment, control, and institutionalization of African labor forces from the mid 1930s, when the labor question was first posed, to the late 1950s, when decolonization was well under way. Professor Cooper explores colonial conceptions of the African worker and shows how African trade union and political leaders used the new language of social change to claim equality and a share of power. This helped to persuade European officials that the 'modern' Africa they imagined was unaffordable. Britain and France could not reshape African society. As they left the continent, the question was how they had affected the ways in which Africans could reorganize society themselves.
