Abstract

Martin Klein's book is a history of slaves during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in three former French colonies. It investigates the changing nature of local slavery over time, and the evolving French attitudes towards it, through the phases of trade, conquest and colonial rule. The heart of the study focuses on the period between 1876 and 1922, when a French army composed largely of slave soldiers took massive numbers of slaves in the interior, while in areas near the coast, hesitant actions were taken against slave-raiding, trading and use. After 1900, the French withdrew state support of slavery, and as many as a million slaves left their masters. A second exodus occurred after World War I, when soldiers of slave origin returned home. The renegotiation of relationships between those who remained and their masters carries the story into the contemporary world.

Abstract

For almost four thousand years, men and women with power have exploited vulnerable populations for cheap or free labor.

This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Slavery and Abolition relates the long and brutal history of slavery and the struggle for abolition using several key features: ·Chronology ·Introductory essay ·Appendixes ·Extensive bibliography ·Over 500 cross-referenced entries on forms of slavery, famous slaves and abolitionists, sources of slaves, and current conditions of modern slavery around the world.

Abstract

Le livre de Martin Klein appartient à la bibliothèque des ouvrages indispensables sur l'esclavage en Afrique. Il en retrace l'histoire entre le XVIIIe et le XXe siècle au Sénégal, en Guinée et au Mali, trois anciennes colonies françaises. Il montre comment la nature de l'esclavage africain a changé selon les périodes : traite des captifs, conquête puis domination coloniales, indépendance des États. Quelles attitudes les autorités françaises ont-elles eues par rapport à ce fait social total ? Comment comprendre l'ambivalence de leurs positions, entre acceptation dans l'intérieur du Mali et interdiction hésitante, dans les régions proches de la côte, de la capture, du commerce et de l'utilisation des esclaves ? L'abolition par la France en 1905 a provoqué des changements sociaux importants à l'époque, mais la question de l'esclavage demeure centrale jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Cet ouvrage nous donne les clés indispensables pour comprendre le maintien de ce système.
