This book was released on 2001 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après Paramaribo en 1998 et la Havane en 1999, Cayenne a accueilli la conférence annuelle de l'Association des Historiens de la Caraïbe (AHC) du 16 au 20 avril 2000. L'AHC regroupe des historiens du bassin de la Caraïbe ainsi que des membres venant des universités et des organismes de recherche des Etats-Unis, du Canada, du Mexique, du Venezuela et du Brésil et de certaines universités de l'Union Européenne. Les trente-deux communications présentées ont été regroupées dans cet ouvrage. Un nombre significatif de communications a été consacré aux problématiques de l'histoire de la Guyane, le pays d'accueil. Dix intervenants ont ainsi traité des questions du peuplement et de la mise en valeur coloniale de la Guyane, des réactions politiques et identitaires liées à la pratique française de l'assimilation. Les questions abordées par ailleurs ont été rassemblées, dans les langues des intervenants, autour des thèmes suivants : criminalité et châtiments dans la Caraïbe ; la question de la nationalité aux Antilles françaises ; le traitement de l'environnement; la Caraïbe vue du Mexique; relations internationales et historiographie ; migrations transatlantiques et questions identitaires dans la Caraïbe britannique ; division sexuelle du travail et représentation de la sexualité. En dépit de l'obstacle linguistique que pourraient rencontrer certains lecteurs, les textes rassemblées ici donnent de la Caraïbe un éclairage diversifié rarement disponible dans les lieux accueillant le grand public

Download or read book Cutting a Figure written by Richard J. Powell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining portraits of black people over the past two centuries, Cutting a Figure argues that these images should be viewed as a distinct category of portraiture that differs significantly from depictions of people with other racial and ethnic backgrounds. The difference, Richard Powell contends, lies in the social capital that stems directly from the black subject’s power to subvert dominant racist representations by evincing such traits as self-composure, self-adornment, and self-imagining. Powell forcefully supports this argument with evidence drawn from a survey of nineteenth-century portraits, in-depth case studies of the postwar fashion model Donyale Luna and the contemporary portraitist Barkley L. Hendricks, and insightful analyses of images created since the late 1970s. Along the way, he discusses major artists—such as Frédéric Bazille, John Singer Sargent, James Van Der Zee, and David Hammons—alongside such overlooked producers of black visual culture as the Tonka and Nike corporations. Combining previously unpublished images with scrupulous archival research, Cutting a Figure illuminates the ideological nature of the genre and the centrality of race and cultural identity in understanding modern and contemporary portraiture.

Download or read book A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies written by Clare Anderson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1415, when the Portuguese first used convicts for colonization purposes in the North African enclave of Ceuta, to the 1960s and the dissolution of Stalin's gulags, global powers including the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, British, Russians, Chinese and Japanese transported millions of convicts to forts, penal settlements and penal colonies all over the world. A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies builds on specific regional archives and literatures to write the first global history of penal transportation. The essays explore the idea of penal transportation as an engine of global change, in which political repression and forced labour combined to produce long-term impacts on economy, society and identity. They investigate the varied and interconnected routes convicts took to penal sites across the world, and the relationship of these convict flows to other forms of punishment, unfree labour, military service and indigenous incarceration. They also explore the lived worlds of convicts, including work, culture, religion and intimacy, and convict experience and agency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic social history of hurricanes in the Caribbean The diverse cultures of the Caribbean have been shaped as much by hurricanes as they have by diplomacy, commerce, or the legacy of colonial rule. In this panoramic work of social history, Stuart Schwartz examines how Caribbean societies have responded to the dangers of hurricanes, and how these destructive storms have influenced the region's history, from the rise of plantations, to slavery and its abolition, to migrations, racial conflict, and war. Taking readers from the voyages of Columbus to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Schwartz looks at the ethical, political, and economic challenges that hurricanes posed to the Caribbean’s indigenous populations and the different European peoples who ventured to the New World to exploit its riches. He describes how the United States provided the model for responding to environmental threats when it emerged as a major power and began to exert its influence over the Caribbean in the nineteenth century, and how the region’s governments came to assume greater responsibilities for prevention and relief, efforts that by the end of the twentieth century were being questioned by free-market neoliberals. Schwartz sheds light on catastrophes like Katrina by framing them within a long and contentious history of human interaction with the natural world. Spanning more than five centuries and drawing on extensive archival research in Europe and the Americas, Sea of Storms emphasizes the continuing role of race, social inequality, and economic ideology in the shaping of our responses to natural disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les contributions réunies ici s'attachent tout d'abord aux représentations identitaires que l'on peut observer depuis quelques décennies dans les productions culturelles et, plus largement, dans les comportements et mentalités du monde caraïbe. Face aux défis de l'ère post-coloniale, il ressort que ces représentations se sont de plus en plus affranchies de tout discours d’autorité ou d’auto-dépréciation portant la marque du colonialisme en même temps que les codes relevant de visions essentialistes ont glissé vers une pensée de la relation et de la transculturation.
