Abstract

Brigands dissimulés dans les forêts, guettant les voyageurs qui s’attardent à la tombée du jour ; hommes hirsutes, le visage barbouillé de noir et armes au poing, mais aussi chouans en Vendée, Bretagne ou dans les montagnes du Massif central, autant de silhouettes inquiétantes qui ont marqué les contemporains de Robespierre. La Révolution française n’a pas engendré le brigandage, qui existe depuis la haute Antiquité, mais elle a été marquée par une poussée fiévreuse de cette forme de délinquance depuis la Grande Peur de l’été 1789. À partir de 1793, le refus de la conscription militaire a jeté une partie de la jeunesse dans les bras de ces rebelles. Les difficultés économiques et sociales ou encore les affrontements politiques ont aussi contribué à l’aggravation du phénomène. Le brigandage est devenu un mal absolu sous le Directoire puis sous le Consulat, en un temps où la restauration de l’ordre devenait une priorité politique. Mais qui étaient ces « brigands » ? Des délinquants de droit commun s’attaquant aux voyageurs et aux propriétés, violents jusqu’à la barbarie envers leurs victimes ? De pauvres gens, jetés sur les routes par la misère ? Des opposants politiques qui rejetaient brutalement les idées de la Révolution et les ruptures sociales qui en découlaient ? Ce livre fournit des pistes pour mieux appréhender les différentes formes de criminalité et de violence que recouvre le phénomène du brigandage. Entre Mandrin, brigand populaire du milieu du XVIIIe siècle, contrebandier défiant l’État, et les bandes de royalistes assassinant les patriotes dans les bocages de l’Ouest ou les montagnes du Midi, peut-on trouver des solutions de continuités ? Cet ouvrage tente de montrer le hiatus entre le mot et la réalité complexe du brigandage dans un contexte révolutionnaire large, celui de la France des années 1750-1850, période troublée et tendue d’où peuvent s’observer les tensions politiques et sociales qui ont engendré l’époque contemporaine.

Abstract

The 'Alawis, or Alawites, are a prominent religious minority in northern Syria, Lebanon, and southern Turkey, best known today for enjoying disproportionate political power in war-torn Syria. In this book, Stefan Winter offers a complete history of the community, from the birth of the 'Alawi (Nusayri) sect in the tenth century to just after World War I, the establishment of the French mandate over Syria, and the early years of the Turkish republic. Winter draws on a wealth of Ottoman archival records and other sources to show that the 'Alawis were not historically persecuted as is often claimed, but rather were a fundamental part of Syrian and Turkish provincial society.Winter argues that far from being excluded on the basis of their religion, the 'Alawis were in fact fully integrated into the provincial administrative order. Profiting from the economic development of the coastal highlands, particularly in the Ottoman period, they fostered a new class of local notables and tribal leaders, participated in the modernizing educational, political, and military reforms of the nineteenth century, and expanded their area of settlement beyond its traditional mountain borders to emerge from centuries of Sunni imperial rule as a bona fide sectarian community. Using an impressive array of primary materials spanning nearly ten centuries, A History of the 'Alawis provides a crucial new narrative about the development of 'Alawi society.

Abstract

Five hundred years ago the great walled city of Constantinople fell under the relentless siege of the Ottoman Turks led by Sultan Mehmed II, Mehmed the Conqueror. Kristovoulos, one of the vanquished Greeks, later entered into the service of the Conqueror and began to write a history of the Sultan's life, starting with the year 1451, the beginning of Mehmed's 31-year reign. Death apparently prevented Kritovoulos from completing his account, but the manuscript covering the first seventeen years has been preserved and this exciting chronicle is here translated into English for the first time. Charles T. Riggs, who died in February 1953 at Robert College in modern Istanbul, was a missionary in the Near East. Originally published in 1954.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
