Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au XVIe siècle, les Espagnols s'intéressent avant tout aux rives des Grandes Antilles, puis à celles du continent. Zone d'escale, les Petites Antilles ne sont pas l'objet d'une occupation permanente. Au XVIIe siècle, avec le développement d'un nouveau modèle de colonisation fondé sur l'agriculture, initié par des Anglais, des Français et des Hollandais, les Petites Antilles deviennent un enjeu économique, puis des colonies de peuplement. En 1626, les Français participent à la colonisation officielle de Saint-Christophe. En 1635, ils s'installent à la Guadeloupe et à la Martinique. En 1664, ils implantent la culture du " pétun ", qui se fait principalement avec des engagés ; celle-ci cède la place à la canne à sucre, avec le recours massif aux esclaves importés d'Afrique. Parallèlement, l'emprise du pouvoir royal se précise ; de plus une génération de créoles blancs va jouer un rôle essentiel dans le peuplement. Y a-t-il une continuité entre le XVIIe siècle et le XVIIIe siècle ? Que penser de l'idée universellement admise que les populations blanches et noires ne peuvent se maintenir dans l'immigration ? Tous les contacts entre Africains, Amérindiens et Européens, l'affranchi et le sang mêlé qui, souvent, se confondent, posent la question de leur insertion dans les hiérarchies et la démographie. A partir de la correspondance administrative, des dénombrements, des registres paroissiaux et, à compter de 1776, des notaires, l'auteur étudie les bases économiques et, plus minutieusement, les structures imposées et les réactions populaires qui, par exemple, font de l'illégitimité, moins une conséquence de la déchristianisation, qu'une réponse à la fermeture d'une société rigide, touchée, en 1789, par les idées de liberté et d'égalité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici la seule histoire complète des Antilles disponible en poche. Elle s'ouvre sous Louis XIII par la saga des pionniers fondateurs, à la fois explorateurs et entrepreneurs - ils acclimatent le coton, le sucre, le café, l'indigo et organisent le négoce -, mais tout autant exploiteurs, négriers, adversaires déterminés des Indiens. Cette histoire est également, de la révolte des esclaves en août 1791 jusqu'à la départementalisation de 1946, une longue quête de la citoyenneté, régulièrement contrariée par exemple sous Napoléon 1er, écrite dans le sang des travailleurs et des combattants des deux guerres mondiales, mais aussi - comme en 1848 avec l'abolition de l'esclavage - remplie d'espoir.

Download or read book The Dutch Moment written by Wim Klooster and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author draws on a dazzling variety of archival and printed sources.... The Dutch Moment is a signal contribution to the field.―Renaissance Quarterly In The Dutch Moment, Wim Klooster shows how the Dutch built and eventually lost an Atlantic empire that stretched from the homeland in the United Provinces to the Hudson River and from Brazil and the Caribbean to the African Gold Coast. The fleets and armies that fought for the Dutch in the decades-long war against Spain included numerous foreigners, largely drawn from countries in northwestern Europe. Likewise, many settlers of Dutch colonies were born in other parts of Europe or the New World. The Dutch would not have been able to achieve military victories without the native alliances they carefully cultivated. Indeed, the Dutch Atlantic was quintessentially interimperial, multinational, and multiracial. At the same time, it was an empire entirely designed to benefit the United Provinces. The pivotal colony in the Dutch Atlantic was Brazil, half of which was conquered by the Dutch West India Company. Its brief lifespan notwithstanding, Dutch Brazil (1630–1654) had a lasting impact on the Atlantic world. The scope of Dutch warfare in Brazil is hard to overestimate—this was the largest interimperial conflict of the seventeenth-century Atlantic. Brazil launched the Dutch into the transatlantic slave trade, a business they soon dominated. At the same time, Dutch Brazil paved the way for a Jewish life in freedom in the Americas after the first American synagogues opened their doors in Recife. In the end, the entire colony eventually reverted to Portuguese rule, in part because Dutch soldiers, plagued by perennial poverty, famine, and misery, refused to take up arms. As they did elsewhere, the Dutch lost a crucial colony because of the empire’s systematic neglect of the very soldiers on whom its defenses rested. After the loss of Brazil and, ten years later, New Netherland, the Dutch scaled back their political ambitions in the Atlantic world. Their American colonies barely survived wars with England and France. As the imperial dimension waned, the interimperial dimension gained strength. Dutch commerce with residents of foreign empires thrived in a process of constant adaptation to foreign settlers’ needs and mercantilist obstacles.

This book was released on 2001-11-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Slavery in the French Antilles, 1635–1848 Bernard Moitt Examines the reaction of black women to slavery. In Women and Slavery in the French Antilles, 1635–1848, Bernard Moitt argues that gender had a profound effect on the slave plantation system in the French Antilles. He details and analyzes the social condition of enslaved black women in the plantation societies of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), and French Guiana from 1635 to the abolition of slavery in the French colonial empire in 1848. Moitt examines the lives of black women in bondage, evaluates the impact that the slave experience had on them, and assesses the ways in which women reacted to and coped with slavery in the French Caribbean for over two centuries. As males outnumbered females for most of the slavery period and monopolized virtually all of the specialized tasks, the disregard for gender in task allocation meant that females did proportionately more hard labor than did males. In addition to hard work in the fields, women were engaged in gender-specific labor and performed a host of other tasks. Women resisted slavery in the same ways that men did, as well as in ways that gender and allocation of tasks made possible. Moitt casts slave women in dynamic roles previously ignored by historians, thus bringing them out of the shadows of the plantation world into full view, where they belong. Bernard Moitt is Assistant Professor in the History Department at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Previously, he taught at the University of Toronto and at Utica College of Syracuse University. Educated in Antigua (where he was born), Canada, and the United States, he has written on aspects of francophone African and Caribbean history, with particular emphasis on gender and slavery.

Download or read book Chasing Empire across the Sea written by Kenneth J. Banks and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002-11-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banks defines and applies the concept of communications in a far broader context than previous historical studies of communication, encompassing a range of human activity from sailing routes, to mapping, to presses, to building roads and bridges. He employs a comparative analysis of early modern French imperialism, integrating three types of overseas possessions usually considered separately - the settlement colony (New France), the tropical monoculture colony (the French Windward Islands), and the early Enlightenment planned colony (Louisiana) - offering a work of synthesis that unites the historiographies and insights from three formerly separate historical literatures. Banks challenges the very notion that a concrete "empire" emerged by the first half of the eighteenth century; in fact, French colonies remained largely isolated arenas of action and development. Only with the contraction and concentration of overseas possessions after 1763 on the Plantation Complex did a more cohesive, if fleeting, French empire first emerge.
Download or read book Roots of Creole Structures written by Susanne Michaelis and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects an ongoing shift in the study of contact languages: After a period of history-free universalism, it directs the attention to the individual historical circumstances under which the pidgin and creole languages arose. The contributions deal with different areas of language structure including phonology, morphology, and syntax, providing a wealth of structural and sociohistorical data that any comprehensive theory of contact languages will have to account for. Each of the papers provides a thorough description of a structural phenomenon against the background of the sociohistorical contact situation. The languages covered in the book are: Guiné-Bissau Creole, Haitian Creole, Hawai'i Creole, Indo-Portuguese creoles, Jamaican Creole, Lingua Franca, North American French, Mauritian Creole, Santomense, Saramaccan, Seychelles Creole, Sranan, Surinamese Maroon creoles, Vincentian Creole, and Zamboangueño Chavacano.
Download or read book Points of Entanglement in French Caribbean Travel Writing 1620 1722 written by Christina Kullberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open-access book investigates Francophone Caribbean literature by exploring and analyzing French seventeenth-century travel writings. The book argues for a literary re-examination of the representation of the early colonial Caribbean by proposing theoretical linkages to contemporary Caribbean theories of creolization and archipelagic thinking. Using Édouard Glissant’s notion of points of entanglement, Christina Kullberg claims that the historical, social, and political messiness of the Caribbean seventeenth century make for complex representations and expressions, generating textual instability despite the travelers’ apparent desires to domesticate the islands. Taking a synoptic approach to travel narratives in French from 1620 up to the publication of Labat’s Nouveau voyage aux Isles de l’Amérique in 1722, Kullberg examines textual instances where the islands and the peoples of this period disrupt and unsettle dominant French narratives and enter productively into the construction of knowledge and the representations of the region. Kullberg’s contribution is to read French early modern travels in situ as shaped by the archipelagic geography, its history and social formations in order to interrogate both the construction and the limitations of discourses of power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 60 are as follows: Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Music Philosophy: Latin American Thought
