This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La période 1840-1847, qui précède de peu l'abolition définitive de l'esclavage dans les colonies françaises (1848), voit se multiplier des débats et commissions parlementaires, des pétitions et articles de presse aussi bien que des livres et pamphlets sur l'émancipation des esclaves et des sujets qui s'y rattachent (le droit de visite, le rôle et l'importance des colonies pour la métropole, le rapport entre l'esclavage et l'économie, la géopolitique, etc.). Se définir par rapport à un autre, construire son image ou son argument à partir d'idées ou de traits partagés ou antithétiques est une stratégie souvent adoptée par les auteurs des textes choisis dans ce volume, dont les résonances actuelles ne sont pas négligeables.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si la France n'abolit définitivement l'esclavage qu'en 1848, la Grande-Bretagne met fin à la Traite dès 1807 et à l'esclavage à partir de 1833. Ces deux décisions historiques étaient toutefois loin de réunir un consensus. Abolitionnistes et anti-abolitionnistes se sont violemment opposés durant des décennies. Dès 1787 un groupe d'hommes et de femmes britanniques, quakers ou anglicans, issus de la classe moyenne, avaient fondé la Société pour l'abolition de la Traite, qui devait jouer un rôle capital. Le présent ouvrage étudie ce débat et synthétise les arguments des deux camps. Il replace l'abolitionnisme dans sa continuité historique ainsi que dans le contexte international (en particulier nord-américain), évalue l'influence de la religion dans la bataille des idées et se penche sur le rôle décisif joué par les femmes. En 1840, quand Londres accueille la première convention internationale contre l'esclavage, qui réunit des anti-abolitionnistes américains et britanniques, la société du Royaume-Uni a profondément changé, en partie sous l'effet du long combat des adversaires de l'esclavage.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Memnon l'Ethiopien, dont les écrivains antiques soulignent la beauté, aux clichés fournis par la littérature coloniale et ses philosophes (dont Hegel), l'image du Noir a subi divers avatars. Ce volume s'attache surtout au noeud d'expériences contrastées, de sentiments parfois troubles qu'offrent à cet égard les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Les relations concernant la Côte d'Ivoire, l'ethnographie piétiste et le théâtre, en France et en Allemagne, sont spécialement envisagés. Connaissance de l'autre et raison n'y sont pas toujours du même côté. La Révolution française ne pourra imposer durablement une abolition de l'esclavage à laquelle travailla Lamartine, en moraliste et en «propriétaire». La question d'une émancipation intellectuelle, quant à elle, ne se posait trop souvent qu'en termes rhétoriques et comme alibi colonial, malgré la présence en Europe de lettrés noirs ou métis éduqués dans de grandes universités. L'avenir de la musique et des beaux-arts, qui font ici l'objet d'un chapitre spécial, allaient infliger à certains pessimismes un singulier démenti.
Download or read book Abolition written by Seymour Drescher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 939 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one form or another, slavery has existed throughout the world for millennia. It helped to change the world, and the world transformed the institution. In the 1450s, when Europeans from the small corner of the globe least enmeshed in the institution first interacted with peoples of other continents, they created, in the Americas, the most dynamic, productive, and exploitative system of coerced labor in human history. Three centuries later these same intercontinental actions produced a movement that successfully challenged the institution at the peak of its dynamism. Within another century a new surge of European expansion constructed Old World empires under the banner of antislavery. However, twentieth-century Europe itself was inundated by a new system of slavery, larger and more deadly than its earlier system of New World slavery. This book examines these dramatic expansions and contractions of the institution of slavery and the impact of violence, economics, and civil society in the ebb and flow of slavery and antislavery during the last five centuries.
Download or read book Freedom Papers written by Rebecca J. Scott and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 1785, a woman was taken from her home in Senegambia and sent to Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean. Those who enslaved her there named her Rosalie. Her later efforts to escape slavery were the beginning of a family's quest, across five generations and three continents, for lives of dignity and equality. Freedom Papers sets the saga of Rosalie and her descendants against the background of three great antiracist struggles of the nineteenth century: the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution of 1848, and the Civil War and Reconstruction in the United States. Freed during the Haitian Revolution, Rosalie and her daughter Elisabeth fled to Cuba in 1803. A few years later, Elisabeth departed for New Orleans, where she married a carpenter, Jacques Tinchant. In the 1830s, with tension rising against free persons of color, they left for France. Subsequent generations of Tinchants fought in the Union Army, argued for equal rights at Louisiana's state constitutional convention, and created a transatlantic tobacco network that turned their Creole past into a commercial asset. Yet the fragility of freedom and security became clear when, a century later, Rosalie's great-great-granddaughter Marie-José was arrested by Nazi forces occupying Belgium. Freedom Papers follows the Tinchants as each generation tries to use the power and legitimacy of documents to help secure freedom and respect. The strategies they used to overcome the constraints of slavery, war, and colonialism suggest the contours of the lives of people of color across the Atlantic world during this turbulent epoch.

Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.

Download or read book Ouidah written by Robin Law and published by Ohio State University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ouidah, an indigenous African town in the modern Republic of Benin, was the principal pre-colonial commercial centre of its region, and the second most important town of the Dahomey kingdom. It served as a major outlet for the export of slaves for the trans- Atlantic trade. Between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries Ouidah was the most important embarkation point for slaves in the region of West Africa known to outsiders as the 'Slave Coast'. Exporting over a million slaves, it was second only to Luanda in Angola for the embarkation of slaves in the whole of Africa. The author's central concerns are the organization of the African end of the slave trade, and the impact participation in the trade had on the historical development of the African societies involved. It shifts the focus from the viewpoint of the Dahomian monarchy, represented in previous studies, to the coast. Here is a well documented case study of pre-colonial urbanism, of the evolution of a merchant community, and in particular the growth of a group of private traders whose relations with the Dahomian monarchy grew increasingly problematic over time.
