Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’histoire de l’esclavage et de la traite négrière n’est pas uniquement celle des Noirs ; elle nous concerne tous. Elle n’appartient pas qu’au passé puisqu’elle imprègne notre présent. Elle a façonné la souffrance d’un peuple, mais aussi mis en place des mécanismes sociaux, politiques et économiques qui perdurent. Cette histoire parle de domination, d’impérialisme, mais également de la façon dont des hommes et des femmes ont, au quotidien, transcendé l’oppression en se révoltant, en témoignant, en imaginant. Dans ces pages, d’éminents spécialistes, historiens ou politiques, font surgir de l’ombre des vérités méconnues sur l’esclavage et la traite négrière. Ont contribué à cet ouvrage : António de Almeida Mendes, Jean-Marc Ayrault, Pascal Blanchard, Myriam Cottias, Doudou Diène, Réjane Éreau, Fanny Glissant, Aline Helg, Maboula Soumahoro, Françoise Vergès, ainsi que les rédacteurs de dailleursetdici.news. Sommaire : 1. La traite transatlantique repose-t-elle sur une idéologie racialiste ? 2. Résistances des victimes 3. La lutte contre l’esclavage : le rôle des femmes 4. Résistances des Européens 5. La traite négrière a-t-elle favorisé le développement économique de l’Europe ? 6. Nantes, Bordeaux, La Rochelle : l’héritage des grands ports négriers français 7.

Alexandre Dumas, petit-fils d’esclave 10. Faut-il décoloniser l’histoire pour comprendre le monde ?

Book Les routes de l esclavage

Download or read book Les routes de l esclavage written by Claude Fauque and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La déportation et la mise en esclavage de plus de 15 millions d'Africains constituent l'une des plus grandes tragédies à l'origine du monde occidental actuel. Systématique et sans pitié, la traite négrière s'organisa en système économique global durant quatre longs siècles. Dans la plupart des pays européens, un semblant de débat séparait ceux qui protégeaient ce marché fort lucratif et de nombreux philosophes, dont la volonté humaniste, confrontée à leurs propres intérêts financiers, s'effaçait parfois bien vite. De l'île de Gorée aux plantations de canne à sucre de Louisiane, de Zanzibar aux côtes du Brésil, cet ouvrage nous met face aux routes de l'indicible. Celle des navires négriers, celles de millions de vies volées, ces populations déracinées et réduites à l'état de marchandise. Mais aussi celles de la solidarité, qui s'érigèrent dans l'ombre (tel l'Underground Railroad aux Etats-Unis) pour soutenir l'énergie formidable des esclaves dans leur marche vers la liberté. Riche et en partie inédite, l'iconographie, principalement issue du programme " La route de l'esclavage " de l'Unesco, complété le texte largement documenté et étayé de nombreux documents d'époque. Loin des caricatures et des non-dits, ce livre lève ainsi le voile, auprès du grand public, sur ce triste pan de notre histoire dont nous sommes tous aujourd'hui - blancs et noirs - les héritiers.

Book excerpt: Au cœur de la Louisiane et de ses plantations de coton, deux fillettes grandissent ensemble. Tout les oppose. Eleanor est blanche, fille de médecin ; Eve est mulâtre, fille d'esclave. Elles sont l'ombre l'une de l'autre, soumises à un destin qu'aucune des deux n'a choisi. Dans leur vie, il y aura des murmures, des désirs interdits, des chemins de traverse. Tout près, surtout, il y aura la clameur d'une guerre où des hommes affrontent leurs frères sous deux bannières étoilées. Plus loin, dans l'Alabama, des femmes passent leur vie à coudre. Elles assemblent des bouts de tissu, Pénélopes modernes qui attendent le retour des maris, des pères, des fils partis combattre. Leurs courtepointes sont à l'image des Etats-Unis : un ensemble de morceaux tenus par un fil – celui de la couture, celui de l'écriture. Entre rêve et histoire, Dominique Fortier dépeint une Amérique de légende qui se déchire pour mieux s'inventer et pose avec force la question de la liberté.

Book Decolonizing Foreign Language Education

Download or read book Decolonizing Foreign Language Education written by Donaldo Macedo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decolonizing Foreign Language Education interrogates current foreign language and second language education approaches that prioritize white, western thought. Edited by acclaimed critical theorist and linguist Donaldo Macedo, this volume includes cutting-edge work by a select group of critical language scholars working to rigorously challenge the marginalization of foreign language education and the displacement of indigenous and non-standard language varieties through the reification of colonial languages. Each chapter confronts the hold of colonialism and imperialism that inform and shape the relationship between foreign language education and literary studies by asserting that a critical approach to applied linguistics is just as important a tool for FL/ESL/EFL educators as literature or linguistic theory.

Book Africa and Its Significant Others

Download or read book Africa and Its Significant Others written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did the intimate dialogue between Africa, Europe, and the Americas begin? Looking back, it seems as if these three continents have always been each other’s significant others. Europe created its own modern identity by using Africa as a mirror, but Africans traveled to Europe and America long before the European age of discovery, and African cultures can be said to lie at the root of European culture. This intertwining has become ever more visible: Nowadays Africa emerges as a highly visible presence in the Americas, and African American styles capture Europe’s youth, many of whom are of (North-) African descent. This entanglement, however, remains both productive and destructive. The continental economies are intertwined in ways disastrous for Africa, and African knowledge is all too often exported and translated for US and European scholarly aims, which increases the intercontinental knowledge gap.This volume proposes a fresh look at the vigorous and painful, but inescapable, relationships between these significant others. It does so as a gesture of gratitude and respect to one of the pioneering figures in this field. Dutch Africanist and literary scholar Mineke Schipper, who is taking her leave from her chair in Intercultural Literary Studies at the University of Leiden. Where have the past four decades of African studies brought us? What is the present-day state of this intercontinental dialogue?Sixteen of Mineke’s colleagues and friends in Europe, Africa and the Americas look back and assess the relations and debates between Africa-Europe-America: Ann Adams, Ernst van Alphen, Mieke Bal, Liesbeth Bekers, Wilfried van Damme, Ariel Dorfman, Peter Geschiere, Kathleen Gyssels, Isabel Hoving, Frans-Willem Korsten, Babacar M’Baye, Harry Olufunwa, Ankie Peypers, Steven Shankman, Miriam Tlali, and Chantal Zabus write about the place of Africa in today’s African Diaspora, about what sisterhood between African and European women really means, about the drawbacks of an overly strong focus on culture in debates about Africa, about Europe’s reluctance to see Africa as other than its mirror or its playing field, about the images of Africans in seventeenth-century Dutch writing, about genital excision, the flaunting of the African female body and the new self-writing, about new ways to look at classic African novels, and about the invigorating, disturbing, political art of intercultural reading.

Book Plantations by the River

Download or read book Plantations by the River written by Marcel Boyer and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French priest Joseph M. Paret (1807-1872) served in the missions of Louisiana from 1847 to 1869 as pastor of the Little Red Church, located upstream from New Orleans on the east bank of the Mississippi River. During his somewhat lonely tenure, Paret sketched landscapes, architecture, and interiors, capturing everyday life in prosperous St. Charles Parish. In 1987, fifty-three watercolors were discovered -- still bound in their original sketchbook -- among his personal effects. Plantations by the River contains twenty-eight of these paintings created in or about the year 1859. Paret's insightful artwork provides a visual social history of the antebellum creole culture of south Louisiana and documents properties in addition to structures and furnishings of the period. The book features full-size reproductions of Paret's paintings, which have been restored to their original vibrancy. The value of Paret's detailed folk art lies in the accuracy of his depiction of the region he lived in. He faithfully renders parishioners attending church, men pulling driftwood from the Mississippi River, and the edifices and flora gracing local plantations Ormond and Good Hope, among many others. The text is presented in both English and French; and as a supplement to the art, an appendix of excerpts from Mon Journal d'Amerique -- a collection of correspondence between Paret and his family -- is included. The beautiful, brightly colored paintings of Plantations by the River are a rare discovery and provide a unique view of rural Louisiana life before the onset of the Civil War.
