This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays represents the first focused attempt to treat the professions in France as a single large historical problem.

Download or read book The Death of the French Atlantic written by Alan Forrest and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Death of the French Atlantic examines the sudden and irreversible decline of France's Atlantic empire in the Age of Revolution, and shows how three major forces undermined the country's competitive position as an Atlantic commercial power. The first was war, especially war at sea against France's most consistent enemy and commercial rival in the eighteenth century, Great Britain. A series of colonial wars, from the Seven Years' War and the War of American Independence to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars did much to drive France out of the North Atlantic. The second was anti-slavery and the rise of a new moral conscience which challenged the right of Europeans to own slaves or to sacrifice the freedom of others to pursue national economic advantage. The third was the French Revolution itself, which not only raised French hopes of achieving the Rights of Man for its own citizens but also sowed the seeds of insurrection in the slave societies of the New World, leading to the loss of Saint-Domingue and the creation of the first black republic in Haiti at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This proved critical to the economy of the French Caribbean, driving both colons and slaves from Saint-Domingue to seek shelter across the Atlantic world, and leaving a bitter legacy in the French Caribbean. It has also created an uneasy memory of the slave trade in French ports like Nantes, La Rochelle, and Bordeaux, and has left an indelible mark on race relations in France today.

Download or read book The French Anarchists in London 1880 1914 written by Constance Bantman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fleeing repression and persecution, nearly five hundred French-speaking anarchists moved to London between 1880 and 1914, where they developed a unique community deeply shaped by political exile and activism. In this book Constance Bantman explores the history of these largely unknown people and the ways they reinvented anarchism at a time of tremendous political change. She looks at how they struggled in the massive late-Victorian metropolis, tracing their social and political interactions and examining the effects British and French surveillance had on their lives. An in-depth look at a fascinating community, The French Anarchists in London lends historical insight into contemporary concerns about transnational terrorist groups and immigration in Europe.
