Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France's involvement in the American Civil War was critical to its unfolding, but the details of the European power's role remain little understood. Here, Steve Sainlaude offers the first comprehensive history of French diplomatic engagement with the Union and the Confederate States of America during the conflict. Drawing on archival sources that have been neglected by scholars up to this point, Sainlaude overturns many commonly held assumptions about French relations with the Union and the Confederacy. As Sainlaude demonstrates, no major European power had a deeper stake in the outcome of the conflict than France. Reaching beyond the standard narratives of this history, Sainlaude delves deeply into questions of geopolitical strategy and diplomacy during this critical period in world affairs. The resulting study will help shift the way Americans look at the Civil War and extend their understanding of the conflict in global context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaque jour, ce sont près de sept enfants ou adolescents qui meurent par balle aux États-Unis. Cette statistique glaçante ne peut rendre compte à elle seule des vies détruites par les armes à feu, Gary Younge a donc décidé de raconter le destin des jeunes gens tués au cours d’une journée choisie au hasard. Ils sont dix à être abattus le 23 novembre 2013, dix enfants et adolescents âgés de 9 à 19 ans : sept noirs, deux hispaniques, un blanc. Gary Younge consacre un chapitre à chacune de ces victimes tuées par balle, parfois par accident, parfois lors d’un règlement de comptes : Jaiden, Kenneth, Stanley, Pedro, Tyler, Edwin, Samuel, Tyshon, Gary et Gustin. En recoupant les entretiens qu’il a menés avec leurs proches, les rapports de la police, du « 911 » et des journalistes locaux, il reconstitue la vie et les dernières minutes de ces jeunes, victimes de leur condition sociale, de la négligence des adultes, des lobbys. Vibrante immersion dans ces dix courtes vies, Une journée dans la mort de l’Amérique est un ouvrage aussi précis qu’intense. Gary Younge déploie tout son savoir-faire narratif pour nous immerger dans les États-Unis d’aujourd’hui et nous inviter à réfléchir, sans tabou, à cette tragédie américaine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Latitudes Unknown is a multi-faceted study of James Baldwin's radical imagination. It is a selective and thoughtful survey that re-investigates the grounds of Baldwin studies and provides new critical approaches, subjects, and orientations for Baldwin criticism. This volume joins recent critical collections in un-fragmenting Baldwin and establishing further conjunctions in his work: the essay and the novel; the polemical and the aesthetic; his use of and participation in visual forms; and his American as well as international identities. But it goes beyond other recent studies by focusing on new entities of Baldwin's radical imagination: his English and French language selves; his late encounters with Africa; his appearances on French television and interviews with French journalists; and his unrecognized literary journalism. Of Latitudes Unknown also addresses Baldwin's relations with the Arab world, his anticipation of contemporary film and media studies, and his paradoxical public intellectualism. As it reassesses Baldwin's contributions to and influences on world literary history, Of Latitudes Unknown equally explores why the critical appreciation of Baldwin's writing continues to flourish, and why it remains a vast territory whose parts lie open to much deeper exploration and elaboration.

Book excerpt: Jody Blake demonstrates in this book that although the impact of African-American music and dance in France was constant from 1900 to 1930, it was not unchanging. This was due in part to the stylistic development and diversity of African-American music and dance, from the prewar cakewalk and ragtime to the postwar Charleston and jazz. Successive groups of modernists, beginning with the Matisse and Picasso circle in the 1900s and concluding with the Surrealists and Purists in the 1920s, constructed different versions of la musique and la danse negre. Manifested in creative and critical works, these responses to African-American music and dance reflected the modernists' varying artistic agendas and historical climates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Etats-Unis ont continuellement offert des modèles au reste du monde développé annonçant l'avenir proche; en même temps, leur société a sécrété des contres-modèles qui peuvent également préfigurer des lendemains qui ne chantent guère.Le présent volume se veut une approche de ces phénomènes, de façon nullement exhaustive mais pénétrante. La religion comme l'imaginaire américain sont explorés à travers les exemples du réveil religieux du XVIIIe siècle, du grand poète Thoreau, maître-à-penser de plusieurs générations ou du climat pré-psychanalytique de la fin du XIXe siècle. Ces études font apparaître que les Américains ne parviennent pas toujours à se situer par rapports à leurs propres modèles. L'autre grand domaine abordé est celui de la ville industrielle que les Américains ont façonné sinon inventé; précocité des banlieues et des quartiers d'immigrants, complication de l'expression politique de ces populations diverses sont étudiées à travers les cas de New York et de Los Angeles. Enfin, la puissance de la culture américaine et son expansion internationale font l'objet d'études croisées qui donnent la mesure du phénomène tout au long du XXe siècle.ainsi, de 1880 à 1993 - comme le montre finalement l'exemple extraordinaire d'un cow-boy français devenu banquier - les Etats-Unis sont de plein pied dans "leur siècle". Jacques Portes est professeur de civilisation des Etats-Unis à l'Université Charles de Gaulle - Lille III. Il y dirige la Jeune Equipe correspondant au Centre de Recherches l'ELAN (Etude Lilloise sur l'Amérique du Nord). Il a notamment publié, Une fascination réticente, Histoire des Etats-Unis depuis 1945 et Les Américains et la guerre du Vietnam.

Book excerpt: “The writings reveal a Truffaut who was as incisive and direct in assessing his own work as he was in assessing the work of other directors.” —Choice Between 1959 and 1984, French film director François Truffaut was interviewed over three hundred times. Each interview offers critical insight into the genesis of Truffaut’s films as he shares the sources of his inspiration, the choice of his themes, and the development of his screenplays. In addition, Truffaut discusses his relationships with collaborators, actors, and the circumstances surrounding the shooting of each film. These texts, originally assembled by Anne Gillain and published in French in 1988, are presented here in a montage arranged chronologically by film. This compilation includes an impressive array of reflections on cinema as an art form. Truffaut defines the aims and practices of the French New Wave, comparing their efforts to the films made by their predecessors and including comments that encompass the entire history of cinema. Truffaut on Cinema provides commentary on contemporary events, a wealth of biographical information, and Truffaut’s own artistic itinerary.
