Download or read book Histoire religieuse des Antilles et de la Guyane francaises written by Philippe Delisle and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aux Antilles et en Guyane françaises, le mouvement d'évangélisation, engagé dès les débuts de la colonisation, paraît s'accélérer au cours du XIXe siècle. Sous la monarchie de Juillet, les congrégations enseignantes lancent diverses initiatives en direction des esclaves. Mais elles doivent compter avec la toute puissance des maîtres. La suppression du travail forcé en 1848 ouvre de nouvelles perspectives. Durant les décennies qui suivent, le clergé catholique cherche à investir tous les aspects de la vie sociale. Les écoles primaires congréganistes, les confréries et les oeuvres se multiplient. Les ecclésiastiques s'emploient par ailleurs à diffuser un type de piété ultramontaine, marquée par la référence au Christ souffrant et à la Vierge compatissante. Des pôles de résistances persistent. Avant tout soucieux de rendement économique, les grands planteurs ne semblent guère disposés à épauler l'action évangélisatrice. Par ailleurs, durant les années 1880, la bourgeoisie de couleur républicaine, qui remporte d'éclatants succès sur la scène politique, déclare la guerre au cléricalisme. Mais ces refus n'expliquent pas tout. Le modèle religieux véhiculé par les ecclésiastiques subit aussi de subtiles accommodations. L'union libre semble beaucoup trop répandue pour être frappée d'opprobre. De même, dans des sociétés marquées par la peur de l'autre, les rites chrétiens sont aisément assimilés à des protections magiques. Un catholicisme "créole", qui puise aux réalités coloniales comme à la sensibilité africaine, émerge finalement.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits written by Ines G. Zupanov and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through its missionary, pedagogical, and scientific accomplishments, the Society of Jesus-known as the Jesuits-became one of the first institutions with a truly "global" reach, in practice and intention. The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits offers a critical assessment of the Order, helping to chart new directions for research at a time when there is renewed interest in Jesuit studies. In particular, the Handbook examines their resilient dynamism and innovative spirit, grounded in Catholic theology and Christian spirituality, but also profoundly rooted in society and cultural institutions. It also explores Jesuit contributions to education, the arts, politics, and theology, among others. The volume is organized in seven major sections, totaling forty articles, on the Order's foundation and administration, the theological underpinnings of its activities, the Jesuit involvement with secular culture, missiology, the Order's contributions to the arts and sciences, the suppression the Order endured in the 18th century, and finally, the restoration. The volume also looks at the way the Jesuit Order is changing, including becoming more non-European and ethnically diverse, with its members increasingly interested in engaging society in addition to traditional pastoral duties.

Download or read book The Libertine Colony written by Doris L Garraway and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-08 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting incisive original readings of French writing about the Caribbean from the inception of colonization in the 1640s until the onset of the Haitian Revolution in the 1790s, Doris Garraway sheds new light on a significant chapter in French colonial history. At the same time, she makes a pathbreaking contribution to the study of the cultural contact, creolization, and social transformation that resulted in one of the most profitable yet brutal slave societies in history. Garraway’s readings highlight how French colonial writers characterized the Caribbean as a space of spiritual, social, and moral depravity. While tracing this critique in colonial accounts of Island Carib cultures, piracy, spirit beliefs, slavery, miscegenation, and incest, Garraway develops a theory of “the libertine colony.” She argues that desire and sexuality were fundamental to practices of domination, laws of exclusion, and constructions of race in the slave societies of the colonial French Caribbean. Among the texts Garraway analyzes are missionary histories by Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre, Raymond Breton, and Jean-Baptiste Labat; narratives of adventure and transgression written by pirates and others outside the official civil and religious power structures; travel accounts; treatises on slavery and colonial administration in Saint-Domingue; the first colonial novel written in French; and the earliest linguistic description of the native Carib language. Garraway also analyzes legislation—including the Code noir—that codified slavery and other racialized power relations. The Libertine Colony is both a rich cultural history of creolization as revealed in Francophone colonial literature and an important contribution to theoretical arguments about how literary critics and historians should approach colonial discourse and cultural representations of slave societies.
Download or read book Desperate in Saint Martin Notes on Guillaume Coppier written by Gerard M. Hunt and published by Trafford Publishing. 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.

Download or read book In Search of Empire written by James Pritchard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-22 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elusive Empire is the first full account of how during 1670 and 1730 French settlers came to the Americas. It examines how they and thousands of African slaves together with Amerindians constructed settlements and produced and traded commodities for export. Bringing together much new evidence, the author explores how the newly constructed societies and new economies, without precedent in France, interacted with the growing international violence in the Atlantic world in order to present a fresh perspective of the multifarious French colonizing experience in the Americas.
