Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre est le fruit de vingt années de recherches en histoire africaine. Il s'attaque à la désinformation et à la contre-histoire que certains médias et certains historiens véhiculent depuis des décennies. L'auteur, spécialiste du passé du continent noir, remet en question de nombreux tabous. Ainsi explique-t-il que, dans une grande partie de l'Afrique, les Noirs n'ont nullement été les premiers occupants, que les guerres tribales sont une constante de l'histoire africaine, que l'Europe n'a pas brisé l'équilibre des sociétés paradisiaques; qu'en Afrique du Sud, les Blancs ont précédé les Noirs sur 50 pour 100 du territoire ; que le credo normalisé par les historiens officiels et par l'Unesco repose trop souvent sur des à-priori idéologiques qui réduisent la valeur scientifique de leurs démonstrations. Il estime que la colonisation fut une chance historique pour l'Afrique noire qui n'a pas toujours su la saisir. Il montre que dans les années 1950 l'Afrique sub-saharienne était la partie la plus paisible du monde, que le continent noir ignorait alors les famines, que l'indépendance - trop brutale - eut pour l'Afrique des aspects négatifs, que l'on attribue à de fausses causes les maux dont elle souffre. La production alimentaire y croît plus lentement que la population, les intérêts de la dette ne peuvent plus être remboursés et l'ethnisme enraye le progrès. Au terme de son analyse, Bernard Lugan conclut qu'il faut cesser d'accuser le climat ou le prétendu pillage colonial. Il constate que tous les projets de développement ont échoué en Afrique et que, pour le monde développé, la question est désormais la suivante : que faire de plus pour sauver l'Afrique, pour éviter de continuer à dilapider une aide qui, détournée de ses objectifs, finit par aggraver la situation.

Book excerpt: John Iliffe propose ici une histoire générale de l'Afrique, des origines de l'humanité jusqu'à nos jours. Les Africains ont conquis une région particulièrement hostile du globe au nom de toute l'espèce humaine. Le peuplement du continent, la coexistence de l'homme avec son environnement, la construction de sociétés durables et la défense contre les agressions venues des contrées les plus favorisées constituent les axes principaux de cette histoire. Celle-ci est aussi marquée par les blessures et les cicatrices. En consacrant une longue analyse à l'esclavage, John Biffe montre que la souffrance se trouve au coeur de l'expérience africaine. Contre cette souffrance, les Africains ont élaboré des défenses qui leur sont propres : ils placent l'endurance, le courage et le sens de l'honneur au premier plan de toutes les vertus. Autant de valeurs grâce auxquelles ils affrontent les nouveaux défis du monde contemporain -- l'instabilité politique, les guerres, les bouleversements culturels et, surtout, la propagation du Sida. Telle est l'histoire exceptionnelle de populations exceptionnelles : celles du Maghreb, de l'Egypte, de l'Ethiopie, de toute l'Afrique noire -- une communauté de destins qui lie en une seule histoire les tout premiers humains à leurs descendants d'aujourd'hui.

Download or read book The History of the Maghrib written by Abdallah Laroui and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey of North African history challenges both conventional attitudes toward North Africa and previously published histories written from the point of view of Western scholarship. The book aims, in Professor Laroui's words, "to give from within a decolonized vision of North African history just as the present leaders of the Maghrib are trying to modernize the economic and social structure of the country." The text is divided into four parts: the origins of the Islamic conquest; the stages of Islamization; the breakdown of central authority from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries; and the advent of colonial rule. Drawing on the methods of sociology and political science as well as traditional and modern historical approaches, the author stresses the evolution marked by these four stages and the internal forces that affected it. Until now, the author contends, North African history has been written either by colonial administrators and politicians concerned to defend foreign rule, or by nationalist ideologues. Both used an old-fashioned historiography, he asserts, focusing on political events, dynastic conflicts, and theological controversies. Here, Abdallah Laroui seeks to present the viewpoint of a Maghribi concerning the history of his own country, and to relate this history to the present structure of the region.

Download or read book Inventing the Berbers written by Ramzi Rouighi and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Arabs conquered northwest Africa in the seventh century, Ramzi Rouighi asserts, there were no Berbers. There were Moors (Mauri), Mauretanians, Africans, and many tribes and tribal federations such as the Leuathae or Musulami; and before the Arabs, no one thought that these groups shared a common ancestry, culture, or language. Certainly, there were groups considered barbarians by the Romans, but "Barbarian," or its cognate, "Berber" was not an ethnonym, nor was it exclusive to North Africa. Yet today, it is common to see studies of the Christianization or Romanization of the Berbers, or of their resistance to foreign conquerors like the Carthaginians, Vandals, or Arabs. Archaeologists and linguists routinely describe proto-Berber groups and languages in even more ancient times, while biologists look for Berber DNA markers that go back thousands of years. Taking the pervasiveness of such anachronisms as a point of departure, Inventing the Berbers examines the emergence of the Berbers as a distinct category in early Arabic texts and probes the ways in which later Arabic sources, shaped by contemporary events, imagined the Berbers as a people and the Maghrib as their home. Key both to Rouighi's understanding of the medieval phenomenon of the "berberization" of North Africa and its reverberations in the modern world is the Kitāb al-'ibar of Ibn Khaldūn (d. 1406), the third book of which purports to provide the history of the Berbers and the dynasties that ruled in the Maghrib. As translated into French in 1858, Rouighi argues, the book served to establish a racialized conception of Berber indigenousness for the French colonial powers who erected a fundamental opposition between the two groups thought to constitute the native populations of North Africa, Arabs and Berbers. Inventing the Berbers thus demonstrates the ways in which the nineteenth-century interpretation of a medieval text has not only served as the basis for modern historical scholarship but also has had an effect on colonial and postcolonial policies and communal identities throughout Europe and North Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michèle Longino examines the ways in which Mediterranean exoticism inflects the themes represented in French classical drama. Longino explores plays by Corneille, Molière and Racine; Le Cid, Médée, and Le bourgeois gentilhomme among others. She offers a consideration of the role the staging of the near Orient played in shaping a sense of French colonial identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive evaluation of how to read African history. Writing African History is an essential work for anyone who wants to write, or even seriously read, African history. It will replace Daniel McCall's classic Africa in Time Perspective as the introduction to African history for the next generation and as a reference for professional historians, interested readers, and anyone who wants to understand how African history is written. Africa in Time Perspective was written in the 1960s, when African history was a new field of research. This new book reflects the development of African history since then. It opens with a comprehensive introduction by Daniel McCall, followed by a chapter by the editor explainingwhat African history is [and is not] in the context of historical theory and the development of historical narrative, the humanities, and social sciences. The first half of the book focuses on sources of historical data while thesecond half examines different perspectives on history. The editor's final chapter explains how to combine various sorts of evidence into a coherent account of African history. Writing African History will become the most important guide to African history for the 21st century. Contributors: Bala Achi, Isaac Olawale Albert, Diedre L. Badéjo, Dorothea Bedigian, Barbara M.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Morocco written by Aomar Boum and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 1003 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical reference work on Morocco must take as its subject al-maghrib al-aqsa (the far west) as the Arabic scholars have generally referred to the approximate region of present-day Morocco, roughly the north-west corner of Africa but at times including much of the Iberian peninsula, because the modern nation-state is a relatively recent creation owing much to events in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. External influences on Morocco tend to come across the narrow straits of Gibraltar to the north, from the east along the Mediterranean litoral, or up from the Sahara. In each case, access is constrained by geography and continued control from outside the region has been difficult to manage over the long term. Although many of the dynasties that came to power in Morocco conquered much broader regions, history and topology have so conspired that there is still more coherence to an historical focus on al-maghrib al-aqsa than is the case for most modern nation-states. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Morocco contains a chronology, an introduction, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Morocco.
