Latin America, in the first decade of the 21st century, remains as exciting, interesting and unpredictable as ever. In 2004 Haiti, the first Latin American country to gain its independence, celebrated its second centenary. But although the structure and organization of government, politics, production, international relations and trade in the region are by now well established, important changes are under way, and the Latin American countries are becoming more important than ever before in world politics as abridge between the USA and the rest of the world.

The decades between 1670 and 1730 were the most formative in the history of the French colonies in the Americas. A sufficient number of migrants arrived from France and Africa to create settlements, establish economies of production, develop networks of exchange and trade, and adapt institutions of government and law to give substance and form to their resulting societies. Elusive Empire was the first full account of how during these years French settlers came to the Americas. It examines how they and thousands of African slaves together with Amerindians constructed settlements and produced and traded commodities for export. Bringing together much evidence, the author explores how the newly constructed societies and new economies, without precedent in France, interacted with the growing international violence in the Atlantic world in order to present a fresh perspective of the multifarious French colonizing experience in the Americas.

EN 1773, la révolte de Pougatchev aux marges de l’Oural et la « partie de thé » de Boston inaugurent une « ère des révolutions » qui touche de nombreux états européens, ainsi que leurs colonies américaines et atlantiques. En 1802, la paix d’Amiens permet une trêve dans un continent en guerre depuis une décennie ainsi qu’une stabilisation des processus révolutionnaires ou indépendantistes. Entre ces deux dates (le temps d’une génération) des révoltes séculaires se transforment parfois en « révolutions », inscrites dans des espaces et des contextes particuliers : révolution américaine, genevoise, batave, domingoise (Saint-Domingue), rhénane, belge, polonaise, française, italiennes. Quels fils, quelles influences relient ces événements si complexes ? Quelle est la part de la résistance au despotisme éclairé, de la percée des Lumières et du droit naturel de la « république des lettres » européenne dans l’éclatement des révoltes ? Quelles sont les influences respectives des révolutions américaine et française dans la construction d’un nouvel espace politique, civique et l’émergence des identités nationales ? Une réflexion comparative sur les révolutions (causes, acteurs, pratiques, acquis) est possible, en particulier autour des déclarations des droits et des constitutions, des contours de la démocratie (votes, opinions publiques). Elles s’imposent quant aux décalages entre les grands principes (libéralisme, égalitarisme) et la condition faite aux catégories marginalisées : étrangers, femmes, esclaves, indigents, autochtones dans les colonies. Les droits des hommes et les droits des peuples entrent en contradiction avec des structures diplomatiques et militaires, de la « paix au monde » (1790) à la guerre qui « nourrit la guerre », sous le Directoire. Cet essai rapproche des historiographies nationales longtemps concurrentes ou indifférentes les unes aux autres, comme celles des exceptions américaine et française. De l’immense écho de l’année 1789 à l’occupation d’une…
