Louro , CarolienStolte , HeatherStreets-Salter et SanaTannoury-Karam aux Leiden University Press, 2020, 408 p. ISBN : 9789087283414 Prix : 39,50 €.
"The League Against Imperialism : Lives and Afterlives explores the dramatic and engaging story of a global institution that brought together activists across geographical and political borders for the goal of eradicating colonial rule worldwide. The League against Imperialism attracted anticolonial activists like India’s Jawaharlal Nehru, Indonesia’s Sukarno, and Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta, as well as prominent figures like Albert Einstein, Ernst Toller, Romain Rolland, Upton Sinclair, Mohandas Gandhi, and Madame Sun Yat-Sen. This volume is the first to capture the global history of the LAI by bringing together contributions by scholars researching the movement from various regions, languages, and archives. Told primarily from the perspectives of those on the peripheries of empires, the volume argues that interwar anti-imperialism was central to the story of transnational activism during the interwar years and remained an inspiration for many who took on leadership roles during decolonization across the global south."

Paru récemment Realm between Empires. The Second Dutch Atlantic, 1680-1815 de Wim
Klooster et GertOostindie aux Leiden University Press (en co-publication avec Cornell University Press), 2018, 348 p. ISBN : 9789087283148 Prix : 40,50 €.
"Wim Klooster and Gert Oostindie present a fresh look at the Dutch Atlantic in the period following the imperial moment of the seventeenth century. This epoch (1680–1815), the authors argue, marked a distinct and significant era in which Dutch military power declined and Dutch colonies began to chart a more autonomous path.
The loss of Brazil and New Netherland were twin blows to Dutch imperial pretensions. Yet the Dutch Atlantic hardly faded into insignificance. Instead, the influence of the Dutch remained, as they were increasingly drawn into the imperial systems of Britain, Spain, and France. In their synthetic and comparative history, Klooster and Oostindie reveal the fragmented identity and interconnectedness of the Dutch in three Atlantic theaters : West Africa, Guiana, and the insular Caribbean. They show that the colonies and trading posts were heterogeneous in their governance, religious profiles, and ethnic compositions and were marked by creolization. Even as colonial control weakened, the imprint of Dutch political, economic, and cultural authority would mark territories around the Atlantic for decades to come.
Realm between Empires is a powerful revisionist history of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world and provides a much-needed counterpoint to the more widely known British and French Atlantic histories."

Paru récemment The End of Iberian Rule on the American Continent, 1770–1830 de Brian R.
Hamnett aux Cambridge University Press, 2017, 372 p. ISBN : 9781316626634 Prix : 34,99 $ (existe aussi en version électronique).
"In this new work, Brian R. Hamnett offers a comprehensive assessment of the independence era in both Spanish America and Brazil by examining the interplay between events in Iberia and in the overseas empires of Spain and Portugal. Most colonists had wanted some form of unity within the Spanish and Portuguese monarchies but European intransigence continually frustrated this aim. Hamnett argues that independence finally came as a result of widespread internal conflict in the two American empires, rather than as a result of a clear separatist ideology or a growing national sentiment. With the collapse of empire, each component territory faced a struggle to survive. The End of Iberian Rule on the American Continent, 1770–1830 is the first book of its kind to give equal consideration to the Spanish and Portuguese dimensions of South America, examining these territories in terms of their divergent component elements."

Vient de paraître Commercial Transitions and Abolition in West Africa, 1630–1860 d’Angus E.
Dalrymple-Smith chez BrillLe 26 octobre 2020 à 08h53
Vient de paraître Commercial Transitions and Abolition in West Africa, 1630–1860 d’Angus E.
Dalrymple-Smith chez Brill, coll. "Studies in Global Slavery" (Volume : 9), 2019, XII-278 p. ISBN : 978-90-04-36345-8 Prix : 121 € (existe aussi en version électronique).
"Commercial Transitions and Abolition in West Africa 1630–1860 offers a fresh perspective on why, in the nineteenth century, the most important West African states and merchants who traded with Atlantic markets became exporters of commodities, instead of exporters of slaves. This study takes a long-term comparative approach and makes of use of new quantitative data.
It argues that the timing and nature of the change from slave exports to so-called ‘legitimate commerce’ in the Gold Coast, the Bight of Biafra and the Bight of Benin, can be predicted by patterns of trade established in previous centuries by a range of African and European actors responding to the changing political and economic environments of the Atlantic world."

Vient de paraître Islanders and Empire. Smuggling and Political Defiance in Hispaniola, 1580–1690 de Juan José
Ponce Vázquez aux Cambridge University Press, coll. "Cambridge Latin American Studies", 2020, 320 p. ISBN : 9781108477659 Prix : 99,99 $ (C) (existe aussi en version électronique).
"Islanders and Empire examines the role smuggling played in the cultural, economic, and socio-political transformation of Hispaniola from the late sixteenth to seventeenth centuries. With a rare focus on local peoples and communities, the book analyzes how residents of Hispaniola actively negotiated and transformed the meaning and reach of imperial bureaucracies and institutions for their own benefit. By co-opting the governing and judicial powers of local and imperial institutions on the island, residents could take advantage of, and even dominate, the contraband trade that reached the island’s shores. In doing so, they altered the course of the European inter-imperial struggles in the Caribbean by limiting, redirecting, or suppressing the Spanish crown’s policies, thus taking control of their destinies and that of their neighbors in Hispaniola, other Spanish Caribbean territories, and the Spanish empire in the region."

Vient de paraître Practicing Biomedicine at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, 1913-1965. Ideas and Improvisations de Tizian
Zumthurm chez Brill & Rodopi, coll. "Clio Medica" (n° 113), 2020, XII-302 p. ISBN : 978-90-04-40267-6 Prix : 125 € (version électronique gratuite en libre-accès).
"Tizian Zumthurm uses the extraordinary hospital of an extraordinary man to produce novel insights into the ordinary practice of biomedicine in colonial Central Africa. His investigation of therapeutic routines in surgery, maternity care, psychiatry, and the treatment of dysentery and leprosy reveals the incoherent nature of biomedicine and not just in Africa. Reading rich archival sources against and along the grain, the author combines concepts that appeal to those interested in the history of medicine and colonialism. Through the microcosm of the hospital, Zumthurm brings to light the social worlds of Gabonese patients as well as European staff. By refusing to easily categorize colonial medical encounters, the book challenges our understanding of biomedicine as solely domineering or interactive."

Récit traduit, présenté & annoté par MarcDelpech .
"Un sentiment étrange s’insinue souvent chez l’Européen du nord, témoin de la liesse générale qui emplit Lima entière toute la journée, dès qu’un combat de taureaux est annoncé. Les espoirs, les attentes et le plaisir de cette journée constituent l’objet principal des conversations, en particulier de la population féminine de la ville. On affiche les annonces du combat plusieurs jours à l’avance au coin des rues.
Les combats de taureaux se déroulent aujourd’hui sur la « Plaza firme del Acho », aménagée à cet effet, à gauche au bout de la nouvelle allée.
Le clairon donne le signal du début du combat. Les capeadores se dispersent. L’un d’entre eux se place face au toril, le clairon résonne à nouveau et, par la porte ouverte, le « vengador prieto de Bujama » fonce. Une belle bête, de pure race castillane ! solide, ramassée, basse sur pattes, un tronc court et une tête puissante. Quelques rares boucles crépues couronnent son front d’airain dont les menaçantes cornes courtes et pointues et perfidement entrelacées de fleurs, s’inclinent légèrement vers l’avant. Une chabraque pourpre galonnée de blanc, richement ornée de pièces d’or et d’argent, couvre le dos noir luisant que décorent des rubans multicolores. La queue haut levée, le feu jaillissant du regard et les naseaux furieux béants, « le Vengeur » fonce dans l’arène en proie à une colère aveugle. Le capeador à cheval l’attend calmement, son poncho tendu devant lui. Le taureau est déjà sur lui, ses cornes semblent forer dans le ventre du cheval, il paraît certain de l’issue ; mais sur un mouvement furtif du capeador, son cheval fait une volte audacieuse et le taureau passe devant lui ; mais aussitôt le cavalier le rattrape et l’excite à nouveau, virevolte, excite encore et déploie, en une série de « suertes » contrôlées et adroites, son admirable adresse et son sang-froid."
Le récit de Johann Jacob vonTschudi , un jeune érudit polyglotte d’origine suisse, fut considéré en son temps comme la meilleure relation consacrée au Pérou depuis la parution du Voyage d’un naturaliste autour du monde de Charles Darwin. Il offre en tout cas une des plus vivantes descriptions de ce pays. Son œuvre, mêlant érudition et pragmatisme, peut être lue comme un récit d’aventures picaresques, un guide de voyage, un recueil d’observations ethnographiques et naturalistes. Mais elle nous révèle aussi la manière de penser et de voir le monde d’un voyageur européen du XIXe siècle.
Merci à Éric Poix (Éditions la Lanterne magique) de nous avoir signalé la parution du premier volume des Esquisses de von Tschudi, dans cette première traduction de l’allemand au français. Le deuxième volume (sur les Andes péruviennes) est paru au printemps 2022.
