Book Description
Redessiner l'image de l'Afrique et des Africains telle qu'elle fut perçue par les contemporains de Brazza, Binger ou de Monseigneur Augouard peut apparaître comme une gageure. Aventuriers, journalistes, scientifiques, commerçants, missionnaires, militaires verront chacun une Afrique différente. Chaque livre, chaque lettre chaque parole contient quelques détails d'un tableau qui en est seulement au stade de l'élaboration. De ce flot d'informations qui submerge une population attentive mais non préparée, jaillissent quelques jugements à l'emporte-pièce ou quelques mots trop chargés de sens qui pénètrent insidieusement l'inconscient collectif.

Book Description
Les discours tenus aujourd'hui sur l'Afrique restent pour une large part pénétrés des fantasmes nourris par la conquête coloniale à la fin du XIXe siècle. Pour les saisir à leurs origines, l'auteur de ce livre est remonté aux sources du roman colonial français. De la visite d'un continent alors si mal connu qu'on pouvait tout en dire, il ressort que la France, ligotée dans les certitudes rigides du positivisme, du nationalisme et du radicalisme, a rencontré l'Afrique à la pire époque de son histoire intellectuelle, au point de faire d'elle le laboratoire fictionnel de ses songeries génocidaires, voire de ce qui apparait après coup comme un protofascisme français.

Book Description
Between 1880 and 1914, tens of thousands of men and women left France for distant religious missions, driven by the desire to spread the word of Jesus Christ, combat Satan, and convert the world's pagans to Catholicism. But they were not the only ones with eyes fixed on foreign shores. Just as the Catholic missionary movement reached its apex, the young, staunchly secular Third Republic launched the most aggressive campaign of colonial expansion in French history. Missionaries and republicans abroad knew they had much to gain from working together, but their starkly different motivations regularly led them to view one another with resentment, distrust, and even fear. In An Empire Divided, J.P. Daughton tells the story of how troubled relations between Catholic missionaries and a host of republican critics shaped colonial policies, Catholic perspectives, and domestic French politics in the tumultuous decades before the First World War. With case studies on Indochina, Polynesia, and Madagascar, An Empire Divided--the first book to examine the role of religious missionaries in shaping French colonialism--challenges the long-held view that French colonizing and "civilizing" goals were shaped by a distinctly secular republican ideology built on Enlightenment ideals. By exploring the experiences of Catholic missionaries, one of the largest groups of French men and women working abroad, Daughton argues that colonial policies were regularly wrought in the fires of religious discord--discord that indigenous communities exploited in responding to colonial rule. After decades of conflict, Catholics and republicans in the empire ultimately buried many of their disagreements by embracing a notion of French civilization that awkwardly melded both Catholic and republican ideals. But their entente came at a price, with both sides compromising long-held and much-cherished traditions for the benefit of establishing and maintaining authority. Focusing on the much-neglected intersection of politics, religion, and imperialism, Daughton offers a new understanding of both the nature of French culture and politics at the fin de siecle, as well as the power of the colonial experience to reshape European's most profound beliefs.

Book Description
The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.
