Download or read book Cultures citadines dans l oc an Indien occidental XVIIIe XXIe si cles written by Faranirina V. Rajaonah and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2011 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le caractère cosmopolite des villes en fait des points d'observation privilégiée des sociétés pluriculturelles du carrefour de l'océan Indien occidental. De différentes disciplines, les auteurs étudient ici, sur le temps long (XVIIIe-XXIe siècles) et à partir de sources variées (écrites, orales et matérielles), les rencontres qui ont contribué à la formation de "cultures des franges" aux Mascareignes, à Madagascar, dans l'archipel des Comores, au Kenya, en Tanzanie, au Mozambique. Ainsi, l'aménagement des espaces de vie renvoie à des métissages entre des ressources de l'ici et de l'ailleurs : l'Occident ou d'autres horizons du monde indianocéanique. Des processus comparables d'hybridation sont encore perceptibles dans les domaines de la langue, de la musique, de la danse ou du politique dans des cités mieux connectées que les campagnes à l'étranger, volontiers associé à la modernité. Dans cet entrecroisement des cultures, la circulation ne se fait jamais dans un seul sens, même en situation coloniale. A l'occasion de ces échanges, certains individus et groupes sociaux, étrangers ou du cru, jouent le rôle de passeurs et contribuent au dynamisme de leurs cités. A côté des élites, des jeunes de divers milieux diffusent également les innovations. L'inventivité de la jeunesse peut d'ailleurs infléchir le cours de la politique. Grâce à ces intermédiaires, les cités renforcent leur statut de lieux de pouvoir. Mais, autres médiateurs, des gens de lettres dénoncent, à travers des romans et des poèmes, les dangers de la ville et la précarité des citadins les plus démunis. En effet, malgré des moments sous le signe de l'interculturalité ou du partage, ainsi lors de fêtes, les sociétés urbaines, traversées de multiples clivages, connaissent des tensions. En témoignent des conflits autour du contrôle des informations et de l'occupation des lieux de culte ou la concurrence entre les défenseurs des croyances du terroir et les prédicateurs des nouvelles Eglises. Mais les nouveautés sont aussi utilisées dans les stratégies personnelles comme ressources pour renégocier sa place au sein de la communauté et faire son chemin dans la complexité des mondes urbains.
Download or read book European Slave Trading in the Indian Ocean 1500 1850 written by Richard B. Allen and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1500 and 1850, European traders shipped hundreds of thousands of African, Indian, Malagasy, and Southeast Asian slaves to ports throughout the Indian Ocean world. The activities of the British, Dutch, French, and Portuguese traders who operated in the Indian Ocean demonstrate that European slave trading was not confined largely to the Atlantic but must now be viewed as a truly global phenomenon. European slave trading and abolitionism in the Indian Ocean also led to the development of an increasingly integrated movement of slave, convict, and indentured labor during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the consequences of which resonated well into the twentieth century. Richard B. Allen’s magisterial work dramatically expands our understanding of the movement of free and forced labor around the world. Drawing upon extensive archival research and a thorough command of published scholarship, Allen challenges the modern tendency to view the Indian and Atlantic oceans as self-contained units of historical analysis and the attendant failure to understand the ways in which the Indian Ocean and Atlantic worlds have interacted with one another. In so doing, he offers tantalizing new insights into the origins and dynamics of global labor migration in the modern world.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Diaspora written by Chee-Beng Tan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With around 40 million people worldwide, the ethnic Chinese and the Chinese in diaspora form the largest diaspora in the world. The economic reform of China which began in the late 1970s marked a huge phase of migration from China, and the new migrants, many of whom were well educated, have had a major impact on the local societies and on China. This is the first interdisciplinary Handbook to examine the Chinese diaspora, and provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes and effects of Chinese migration under the headings of: Population and distribution Mainland China and Taiwan’s policies on the Chinese overseas Migration: past and present Economic and political involvement Localization, transnational networks and identity Education, literature and media The Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Diaspora brings together a significant number of specialists from a number of diverse disciplines and covers the major areas of the study of Chinese overseas. This Handbook is therefore an important and valuable reference work for students, scholars and policy makers worldwide who wish to understand the global phenomena of Chinese migration, transnational connections and their cultural and identity transformation.
Download or read book The Dispersion written by Stéphane Dufoix and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award In The Dispersion, Stéphane Dufoix skillfully traces how the word “diaspora”, first coined in the third century BCE, has, over the past three decades, developed into a contemporary concept often considered to be ideally suited to grasping the complexities of our current world. Spanning two millennia, from the Septuagint to the emergence of Zionism, from early Christianity to the Moravians, from slavery to the defence of the Black cause, from its first scholarly uses to academic ubiquity, from the early negative connotations of the term to its contemporary apotheosis, Stéphane Dufoix explores the historical socio-semantics of a word that, perhaps paradoxically, has entered the vernacular while remaining poorly understood.

Book excerpt: This work aims to engage with the complexities surrounding evaluations of ethnic and national identity - a focus of recent interest by scholars from a range of disciplines including political science, anthropology and economics - through a case study of Chinese migration to and settlement in Mauritius.

Book excerpt: 'The issue of Chinese diaspora is a fascinating phenomenon in the midst of globalism, and there is a growing interest in studies of overseas Chinese, not only overseas but in China itself. This volume, the result of an international conference on Chinese overseas studies, deals with issues of research and documentation of Chinese migration and migrants. It brings together the efforts of scholars and librarians in examining the research and documentation of Chinese overseas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title studies the relationship between China and Africa by reviewing this history and current state of interactions, offering a valuable addition to the often heated and contentious debate surrounding China's engagement in Africa from a Chinese angle. Comprised of four parts, the book covers a kaleidoscopic range of topics on Sino-Africa relations based on materials from different languages. The first part looks into early historical contact between China and Africa and historiography of African Studies in China in recent decades. Part Two contains a broad probe into the origin, dynamics, challenges and cultural heritage of China's policies towards Africa. The third part explores the issue of development cooperation from both the theoretical and practical point of view, with a focus on the case of Chinese medical teams in Africa and China's technology transfer to the continent. The final part illustrates bilateral migration, discussing the history and life of Chinese immigrants in Africa and the African diaspora in China. The insights in this book as well as real life case studies will make this work an indispensable reference for academics, students, policy makers and general readers who are interested in international issues and area studies, especially China-Africa relations, China's rise and African development.
