This volume of essays investigates, across a wide range of texts and with an emphasis on the notion of conflict, the various forms, objects and modes of circulation that sustained the ""European civilizing mission."" At the heart of this volume are two controversial and conflicting papers, authored by Robert JC Young and Bernard Porter, around which other researchers come together to complement the debate and address some of the thorny issues that arise from reviewing colonial and postcolonial ...

The calamity of World War I spawned dozens of liberation movements among ethnic and religious groups throughout the world. Of this array of peoples aspiring toward self-determination, none were more successful in realizing that goal than the Czechs and Slovaks. From its humble beginning the Czecho-Slovak liberation movement grew into an impressive struggle that was waged from the capitals of Western Europe to the frozen steppes of Siberia. Its ranks included exile propagandists, war prisoners-turned-legionaries and conspirators inside Austria-Hungary. This book shows how these groups overcame

Sommes-nous africains ? Qu'est-ce que l'Afrique ? De cette double interrogation, née au XVIIIe siècle dans la diaspora africaine déportée aux Amériques, a émergé un vaste mouvement intellectuel, politique et culturel qui a pris le nom de panafricanisme au tournant du XXe siècle. Ce mouvement a constitué, pour les Africains des deux rives de l'Atlantique, un espace privilégié de rencontres et de mobilisations. De la révolution haïtienne de 1791 à l'élection du premier président noir des États-Unis en 2008 en passant par les indépendances des États africains, Amzat Boukari-Yabara retrace, dans cette ambitieuse fresque historique, l'itinéraire singulier de ces personnalités qui, à l'image de W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Kwame Nkrumah ou Cheikh Anta Diop, ont mis leur vie au service de la libération de l'Afrique et de l'émancipation des Noirs à travers le monde. Mêlant les voix de ces acteurs de premier plan, bientôt rejoints par quantité d'artistes, d'écrivains et de musiciens, comme Bob Marley ou Miriam Makeba, la polyphonie panafricaine s'est mise à résonner aux quatre coins du ± monde noir , de New York à Monrovia, de Londres à Accra, de Kingston à Addis-Abeba. Les mots d'ordre popularisés par les militants panafricains n'ont pas tous porté les fruits espérés. Mais, à l'heure où l'Afrique est confrontée à de nouveaux défis, le panafricanisme reste un chantier d'avenir, insiste Amzat Boukari-Yabara. Tôt ou tard, les Africains briseront les frontières géographiques et mentales qui brident encore leur liberté. [Présentation de l'éditeur]

"Secrecy and Insurgency deals with the experiences of guerrilla combatants of the Fuerzas Armadas Rebeldes (Rebel Armed Forces) in the aftermath of the peace accords signed in December 1996 between the Guatemalan government and guerrilla insurgents. Drawing on a broad field of contemporary theory, Silvia Posocco's Secrecy and Insurgency presents a vivid ethnographic account of secrecy as both sociality and a set of knowledge practices. Informed by multi-sited anthropological fieldwork among displaced communities with experiences of militancy in the guerrilla organization Fuerzas Armadas Rebeldes, the book traces the contours of dispersed and intermittent guerrilla social relations, unraveling the gendered dimensions of guerrilla socialities and subjectivities in a local context marked by violence and rapid social change. The chapters chart shifting regimes of governance in the northern departamento of Peten; the inception of violence and insurgency; guerrilla practices of naming and secret relations; moral orders based on sameness and sharing; and forms of relatedness, embodiment, and subjectivity among the combatants. The volume develops new critical idioms for grappling with partiality, perspective, and incompleteness in ethnography and contributes to new thinking on the anthropology of Guatemala. Secrecy and Insurgency will be of interest to social and cultural anthropologists, human geographers, and those interested in Latin American studies, human rights, women's studies, and gender studies"--

"Women's contributions against apartheid under the auspices of the Namibian liberation movement SWAPO and their personal experiences in exile take center stage in this study. Male and female leadership structures in exile are analysed whilst the sexual politics in the refugee camps and the public imagery of female representation in SWAPO's nationalism receive special attention. The party's public pronouncements of women empowerment and gender equality are compared to the actual implementations of gender politics during and after the liberation struggle"--Back cover
