Abstract

"The role of proprietorships or ‘private’ colonies in imperial development has not received the attention it deserves, notwithstanding recent scholarly emphasis on ‘state-building’. The continued use of these ‘private’ devices, even as early modern European nation-states grew more potent, is not only interesting, but is indeed normative though invariably missing from modern studies of empire. This collection provides in-depth analyses of the workings of the proprietorships themselves (rather than proprietary colonies) and in studies ranging from South Carolina to Nieuw Nederland to French West Africa to Brasil, broadens this discussion beyond British North America. Contributors include: Mickaël Augeron, Kenneth Banks, Sarah Barber, Philip Boucher, Olivier Caporossi, Leslie Choquette, David Dewar, Jaap Jacobs, Maxine N. Lurie, Debra A. Meyers, L.H. Roper, James O’Neil Spady, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, Cécile Vidal, and Laurent Vidal."

Abstract

Il y a six siècles, une rencontre décisive a eu lieu entre Européens et Africains. C'est le début d'une tragédie pour ces derniers. Malédiction dont les effets sont encore d'actualité. La traite des Noirs est un sujet tabou, voire caché pour les Africains. Personne n'en parle, ni n'étudie le phénomène, qui pourtant conditionne le sort de l'Afrique, aujourd'hui encore. Ainsi, sans connaître cette tragédie, les Africains continuent de subir leur sort, sans savoir comment les mécanismes qui les asservissent ont été mis en place. En Europe, la traite des Noirs est souvent banalisée et confondue avec l'esclavage en tant que phénomène social largement répandu dans le monde. Pourtant cette histoire a laissé ses préjugés racistes dans l'inconscient collectif de l'Occident. La connaissance de cette réalité si importante pourrait contribuer à plus d'humilité et permettrait une réelle fraternité entre Africains et Européens C'est tout l'enjeu du livre.

Abstract

À partir du XVIe siècle, les colonisations européennes constituent non seulement un des principaux vecteurs de la mondialisation économique et culturelle mais aussi l'instrument d'une profonde reconfiguration sociale. Ainsi émergent des sociétés coloniales au sommet desquelles s'affirment des élites distinctes à la fois de celles du vieux continent dont elles sont originaires et de celles des mondes américains, asiatiques, africains ou océaniens qu'elles supplantent, remplacent ou dédoublent. Les élites européennes apparaissent comme une des pierres angulaires du système colonial. À travers une étude comparée des empires sur la longue durée, cet ouvrage analyse l'origine, la formation et la mobilité des élites, leur mode de vie et leurs liens avec les métropoles et les sociétés autochtones. Les contributions d'historiens allemands, anglais, belges, canadiens, états-uniens, hollandais, italiens, portugais, russes et français permettent de repenser la question de la domination coloniale au travers du prisme original de l'histoire sociale. Cet ouvrage restitue aussi la diversité des élites (colons, noblesses, créoles, administrateurs, militaires, etc.) et des situations coloniales modernes et contemporaines.

Abstract

"The book assesses the role of three pro-European pressure groups (the European Union of Federalists, the Socialist Movement for the United States of Europe, and the European League for Economic Cooperation) and their impact in fostering new relations between Europe and the colonies between 1947 and 1957. It argues that the association of the overseas territories into the European Economic Community in 1957, the founding stone of today's European policy for aid and development, was to a large extent the result of the intense intellectual activity that took place in these transnational groups upstream of the signature of the Treaty of Rome. A transnational approach of these groups uncovers the broader objectives of the European policy: that the association would in the long run revive the declining links between Europe and its overseas territories. On the one hand, part of the influential British and continental pro-European elites wanted to create a European Commonwealth which would establish new preferential and intergovernmental links between countries of the Council of Europe, the British Dominions and the European colonies. On the other hand, a number of French and Belgian pro-Europeans wanted to create a Eurafrican community, a federation linking Europe and Africa economically and politically. Both the European Commonwealth and the Eurafrican community were designed in response to postwar challenges: the dollar gap, the communist threat in the Third World, the rise of new African and Asian nationalisms, and the position of European powers in a new globalised world"--Provided by publisher.
