Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With rare maps, prints, and photographs, this unique volume explores the dramatic history of the Americas through the birth and development of the hemisphere's great cities. Written by award-winning author David F. Marley, Historic Cities of the Americas covers the hard-to-find information of these cities' earliest years, including the unique aspects of each region's economy and demography, such as the growth of local mining, trade, or industry. The chronological layout, aided by the numerous maps and photographs, reveals the exceptional changes, relocations, destruction, and transformations these cities endured to become the metropolises they are today. Historic Cities of the Americas provides over 70 extensively detailed entries covering the foundation and evolution of the most significant urban areas in the western hemisphere. Critically researched, this work offers a rare look into the times prior to Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492 and explores the common difficulties overcome by these European-conquered or -founded cities as they flourished into some of the most influential locations in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the shared history of the French empire from the perspective of material culture in order to re-evaluate the participation of colonial, Creole, and indigenous agency in the construction of imperial spaces. The decentred approach to a global history of the French colonial realm allows a new understanding of power relations in different locales. Providing case studies from four parts of the French empire, the book draws on illustrative evidence from the French archives in Aix-en-Provence and Paris as well as local archives in each colonial location. The case studies, in the Caribbean, Canada, Africa, and India, each examine building projects to show the mixed group of planners, experts, and workers, the composite nature of building materials, and elements of different ‘glocal’ styles that give the empire its concrete manifestation. Building the French empire gives a view of the French overseas empire in the early modern period not as a consequence or an outgrowth of Eurocentric state-building, but rather as the result of a globally interconnected process of empire-building.

Download or read book The Creole Archipelago written by Tessa Murphy and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Creole Archipelago, Tessa Murphy traces how generations of Indigenous Kalinagos, free and enslaved Africans, and settlers from a variety of European nations used maritime routes to forge social, economic, and informal political connections that spanned the eastern Caribbean. Focusing on a chain of volcanic islands, each one visible from the next, whose societies developed outside the sphere of European rule until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, Murphy argues that the imperial frameworks typically used to analyze the early colonial Caribbean are at odds with the geographic realities that shaped daily life in the region. Through use of wide-ranging sources including historical maps, parish records, an Indigenous-language dictionary, and colonial correspondence housed in the Caribbean, France, England, and the United States, Murphy shows how this watery borderland became a center of broader imperial experimentation, contestation, and reform. British and French officials dispatched to Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Tobago after 1763 encountered a creolized society that repeatedly frustrated their attempts to transform the islands into productive plantation colonies. By centering the stories of Kalinagos who asserted continued claims to land, French Catholics who demanded the privileges of British subjects, and free people of African descent who insisted on their right to own land and enslaved people, Murphy offers a vivid counterpoint to larger Caribbean plantation societies like Jamaica and Barbados. By looking outward from the eastern Caribbean chain, The Creole Archipelago resituates small islands as microcosms of broader historical processes central to understanding early American and Atlantic history, including European usurpation of Indigenous lands, the rise of slavery and plantation production, and the creation and codification of racial difference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les auteurs (de gauche à droite) : Richard Chateau-Degat, Georges B. Mauvois, Jean-Pierre Sainton, Raymond Boutin, Lydie Ho Fong Choy Choucoutou. Où et quand débute notre histoire ? Tout n'a pas commencé en 1492 ou en 1635. Le temps des genèses aborde l'histoire des Petites Antilles dans sa continuité, des origines amérindiennes jusqu'au basculement du monde et au choc de la colonisation qui conduisent à la mise en place des sociétés d'habitation esclavagistes au courant du XVIIe siècle. Le présent ouvrage propose une architecture d'ensemble, une histoire sociale de l'archipel étudiée sous l'angle des structures et des dynamiques. Il invite à un recentrage du regard qui ne signifie pas pour autant repli, isolement et séparation. Il s'agit de rétablir chaque île dans son unité constitutive avec son entour et avec le monde et d'inscrire l'évolution de l'archipel dans le mouvement général de l'histoire. Ce livre est le premier tome d'un ensemble prévu en 5 volumes. « La valeur de ce manuel d'histoire repose sur la variété et l'étendue des sources. C'est aussi un travail résultant du croisement de l'histoire, de l'archéologie, de la géographie, de l'ethnologie, de la linguistique. Le résultat de cette croisée nous restitue une histoire de l'homme dans son environnement caribéen, occupant de la mer aussi bien que des terres. » Préface de Sir Roy Augier, professeur émérite à l'Université des West Indies (Jamaïque) et président du Comité éditorial de la General History of the Caribbean (éditée sous le patronage de l'UNESCO).

This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on Guillaume Coppier (1606 1674), the early 17th-century French traveler, indentured servant, colonist, mariner, moralist, baroque chronicler, antiquarian, humanist, sometime pirate and slaver of sorts, is essentially a reading of Coppier, the man and his chronicle. Coppiers Histoire et voyage des Indes Occidentales, et de plusieurs autres rgions maritimes, & esloignes (History and Voyage to the West Indies and to Several Other Maritime and Faraway Regions) was published in Lyon in 1645. Given its objective and context, this effortpart amateur historiography and translation and part novice commentary and interpretationis also a survey of past appraisals of Coppiers chronicle. Like all such endeavors, this essay informs on the essayist; it is a sort of voyage, and a long one at that.
