Abstract

C’est en décembre 1947 que le premier numéro de la revue Présence africaine voit le jour. Il couronne le rêve de son fondateur, Alioune Diop (1910-1980), qui l’avait déjà imaginé dès la fin de seconde guerre mondiale. Sur le plan historique, la revue suit les traces de celles qui ont été créées dès la fin de la première guerre par des Africains, les Noirs américains et les Antillais, Le Cri de Nègres, La Revue du Monde noir (1931), Légitime défense (1932, un seul numéro), L’étudiant noir (1934-1940), Tropiques (cofondée par Aimé Césaire et René Ménil). Elle se distingue cependant de toutes celles-ci parce qu’elle veut réunir et donner à entendre toutes les voix des Noirs du monde qui vivent tous sans exception, quelle que soit leur langue d’expression, une même expérience historique de la dépossession, du déni d’identité, de la souffrance due à l’esclavage et à la colonisation. Pour faire entendre cette voix et faire mesurer l’intensité et la réalité de cette présence des Nègres au monde, Alioune Diop fait appel, pour le premier numéro, a de prestigieux parrains parmi lesquels André Gide, Jean-Paul Sartre, Théodore Monod, Emmanuel Mounier, Albert Camus, Michel Leiris. Ceux-ci côtoient de prestigieux intellectuels noirs parmi lesquels, L. S. Senghor, Aimé Césaire et Richard Wright. En faisant figurer côte à côte des intellectuels européens et non européens dès le premier numéro de sa revue, Alioune Diop voulait déplacer le débat de la rencontre des peuples et des civilisations qui agitaient les revues précédentes sur le strict terrain de la pensée et de la culture. André Gide ne s’était pas trompé lorsqu’il écrivait en conclusion de son avant-propos du premier numéro : « Présence africaine se propose un vaste programme : accueillir tout ce qui a trait à la cause des Noirs, et toute voix du peuple noir qui lui paraisse mériter d’être entendue. » De fait, plus précisément, la revue avait choisi une ligne éditoriale de laquelle elle n’allait pas dévier : – faire connaître une pensée africaine englobant à la fois la philosophie et les sciences humaines ; – promouvoir les littératures africaines et leur critique. Cette ambition critique éloignait la revue de toute visée politique au mauvais sens du mot. Dans son liminaire « Niam n’goura ou les raisons d’être de Présence Africaine », Alioune Diop précisait d’ailleurs : « Cette revue ne se place sous l’obédience d’aucune idéologie philosophique ou politique. Elle veut s’ouvrir à la collaboration de tous les hommes de bonne volonté (blancs, jaunes ou noirs), susceptibles de nous aider à définir l’originalité africaine et de hâter son insertion dans le monde moderne ».

Abstract

In the antebellum South, plantation physsicians used a new medical device - the spirometer - to show that lung volume and therefore vital capacity were supposedly less in black slaves than in white citizens. At the end of the Civil War, a large study of racial difference employing the spirometer appeared to confirm the finding, which was then applied to argue that slaves were unlit for freedom. What is astonishing is that this example of racial thinking is anything but a historical relic. In Breathing Race into the Machine, science studies scholar Lundy Braun traces the little-known history of the spirometer to reveal the social and scientific processes by which medical instruments have worked to naturalize racial and ethnic differences, from Victorian Britain to today. Routinely a factor in clinical diagnosis, preemployment physicals, and disability estimates, spirometers are often "race corrected," typically reducing normal values for African Americans by 15 percent. An unsettling account of the pernicious effects of racial thinking that divides people along genetic lines, Breathing Race into the Machine helps us understand how race enters into science and shapes medical research and practice. -- from dust jacket

Abstract

In this study Professor Sheridan presents a rich and wide-ranging account of the health care of slaves in the British West Indies, from 1680-1834. He demonstrates that while Caribbean island settlements were viewed by mercantile statesmen and economists as ideal colonies, the physical and medical realities were very different. The study is based on wide research in archival materials in Great Britain, the West Indies and the United States. By steeping himself in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources, Professor Sheridan is able to recreate the milieu of a past era: he tells us what the slave doctors wrote and how they functioned, and he presents a storehouse of information on how and why the slaves sickened and died. By bringing together these diverse medical demographic and economic sources, Professor Sheridan casts new light on the history of slavery in the Americas.
