Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Niger written by Rahmane Idrissa and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niger is a crossroad, the gate to the outside for West Africans, and the port of entry into West Africa for cross-Saharan tidings and travelers. It remained for centuries the largely uncontrolled periphery of the large empires of the western Sudan and the market cities of the central Sudan. In these two ways, the land forged a very distinctive identity, a fluid blend of diverse communities which make up a nation of marginal cosmopolitans – a paradox illuminated in this book. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of Niger contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Niger written by Abdourahmane Idrissa and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting on the cusp between Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa, Niger is in many ways a remarkable place, blending in the harsh Sahelian environment a great diversity of cultures and lifestyles to make up a poor but resilient nation. The country was established in the early 20th century in what used to be the busy crossroad of exchanges between the kingdoms and empires of West Africa and the Arab-Islamic world. The resulting melting pot is a blend of Western Sudanic cultures, manifest in particular in its food, music, and dance, as well as in the enduring rituals and practices of animist religions, along with a good deal of Arab culture imported through the Islamic religion and a dash of French culture. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Niger covers the history of the peoples of the Republic of Niger from medieval times to the present. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries covering elements of pre-colonial and colonial history, recent politics, cinema, literature, religion, economics, and finance. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.

Download or read book L Afrique occidentale au temps des Fran ais written by Odile Goerg and published by La Découverte. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire de la colonisation s'est inscrite dans le face à face des institutions, des esprits et des cultures. Ce regard croisé est à l'origine de ce livre, fruit d'un travail d'équipe mené depuis plusieurs années par les meilleurs spécialistes africains et français, qui ont mobilisé des archives ouvertes parfois depuis peu, et les souvenirs oraux d'acteurs souvent encore en vie. L'Afrique " vue d'en bas " : c'est sur une histoire méconnue que ce livre original lève le voile ; Malgré sa brièveté relative, l'épisode colonial a profondément marqué les États de l'ancien Ouest africain français. Ils sont neuf aujourd'hui, d'ouest en est et du nord au sud : Mauritanie, Sénégal, Niger, Burkina-Faso, Guinée, Côte d'Ivoire, Bénin, Togo. Or, tandis que la politique " métropolitaine " commence à être bien connue, il n'en va pas de même de la rencontre entre colonisés et colonisateurs, de l'histoire vécue sur le terrain, tour à tour et à la fois lutte, dialogue et échanges. L'histoire de la colonisation s'est inscrite dans le face à face des institutions, des esprits et des cultures. Ce regard croisé est à l'origine de ce livre, fruit d'un travail d'équipe mené depuis plusieurs années par les meilleurs spécialistes africains et français, qui ont mobilisé des archives ouvertes parfois depuis peu, et les souvenirs oraux d'acteurs souvent encore en vie. La première partie traite de thèmes communs à l'ensemble : la politique et la géopolitique françaises, l'armée coloniale, les objectifs économiques, les dynamiques sociales, le rôle de l'islam. La seconde partie rassemble les monographies consacrées à chacun de ces " États coloniaux " : ils ont été marqués par une histoire chaque fois différente, suivant des milieux géographiques contrastés, des péripéties antérieures, des héritages démographiques et culturels anciens, et les modalités spécifiques de la pénétration française. Au total, un ouvrage de référence indispensable pour comprendre, dans les États francophones de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, l'unité et la diversité des soubresauts et des aspirations d'autrefois et d'aujourd'hui.

Download or read book Anthropology Colonial Policy and the Decline of French Empire in Africa written by Douglas W. Leonard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceived as both a vehicle to national prestige and as a civilizing mission, the second French colonial empire (1830-1962) challenged soldiers, scholars, and administrators to understand societies radically different from their own. The resultant networks of anthropological inquiry, however, did not have this effect. Rather, they opened pathways to political and intellectual independence framed in the language of social science, and in the process upended the colonial political system and reshaped the nature of human inquiry in France. While still unequal, French colonial rule in Africa revealed the durability and strength of non-European modes of thought. In this influential new study, historian Douglas W. Leonard examines the political and intellectual repercussions of French efforts to understand and to dominate colonial Africa through the use of anthropology. From General Louis Faidherbe in the 1840s to politician Jacques Soustelle and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in the 1950s, these French thinkers sowed the seeds of colonial destruction.
