Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Modern African History represents an invaluable tool for historians and others in the field of African studies. This collection of essays, produced by some of the finest scholars currently working in the field, provides the latest insights into, and interpretations of, the history of Africa - a continent with a rich and complex past. An understanding of this past is essential to gain perspective on Africa's current challenges, and this accessible and comprehensive volume will allow readers to explore various aspects - political, economic, social, and cultural - of the continent's history over the last two hundred years. Since African history first emerged as a serious academic endeavour in the 1950s and 1960s, it has undergone numerous shifts in terms of emphasis and approach, changes brought about by political and economic exigencies and by ideological debates. This multi-faceted Handbook is essential reading for anyone with an interest in those debates, and in Africa and its peoples. While the focus is determinedly historical, anthropology, geography, literary criticism, political science and sociology are all employed in this ground-breaking study of Africa's past

Abstract

"Qu'est-ce que les techniques font à la globalisation? Qu'est-ce que la globalisation fait aux techniques? Cet ouvrage propose des réponses à ces questions dans une vingtaine d'études originales qui portent sur le Brésil, le Cameroun, la Chine, les États-Unis, la France, le Japon et l'Union soviétique. Il s'intéresse au long Xe siècle où l'ordre colonial, les antagonismes politiques et la division du monde en deux blocs ont joué un rôle capital dans les interconnexions et les interdépendances régionales. Dans leurs analyses des circulations des techniques, les auteurs de cet ouvrage s'emploient à suivre au plus près les déplacements pour en montrer la complexité et le travail permanent de requalification qui s'opère, tant les techniques et leurs porteurs se transforment au fil des disséminations et de leurs arborescences. De fait, la globalisation ne signifie pas une homogénéisation des mondes sociotechniques. Les circulations techniques changent les territoires de l'économie et les rapports entre les pays, les inégalités et les clivages entre les pays riches et les pays pauvres."-- Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Over recent decades, the responsibility for the past actions of the European colonial powers in relation to their former colonies has been subject to a lively debate. In this book, the question of the responsibility under international law of former colonial States is addressed. Such a legal responsibility would presuppose the violation of the international law that was applicable at the time of colonization. In the ‘Scramble for Africa’ during the Age of New Imperialism (1870-1914), European States and non-State actors mainly used cession and protectorate treaties to acquire territorial sovereignty (imperium) and property rights over land (dominium). The question is raised whether Europeans did or did not on a systematic scale breach these treaties in the context of the acquisition of territory and the expansion of empire, mainly through extending sovereignty rights and, subsequently, intervening in the internal affairs of African political entities.
