This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La conservation des Colonies à Sucre est généralement regardée comme un si grand intérêt politique, que tout ce qui peut donner quelque jour sur la question agitée tant en Angleterre, qu'en France, sur ce sujet doit être présenté au Public; on le doit sur-tout à la Nation assemblée pour discuter & régler tous les objets d'Administration, parmi lesquels celui des Colonies sera sans doute compris. Après avoir long-tems vécu dans les Colonies de diverses Nations Européennes, après avoir étudié le caractère des Nègres, examiné les diverses manières de les régir & leurs effets, après avoir lu ce qui a été écrit pour le maintien & pour l'abolition de l'esclavage, je crois devoir à la Patrie le tribut de mes réflexions. Ce n'est pas que je me flatte d'ajouter à ce que d'excellens Écrivains ont donné depuis peu sur cette matière intéressante; mais instruit par eux, & profitant de leurs lumières, j'exposerai dans ce court Mémoire le désir & la possibilité de concilier dans la culture des Colonies la Morale avec la Politique, d'allier sous la zone torride l'Industrie au bonheur; j'appaiserai peut-être en même-tems les alarmes des Colons, lorsqu'ils entendent déclamer contre l'esclavage des Nègres, ce qui, par l'institution malheureuse des Colonies, semble être une attaque directe faite à leurs propriétés.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2005. The task of compiling a bibliography of the African slave trade is a difficult one as the literature comprises books, pamphlets and periodical articles in a variety of languages from the sixteenth century to the present day. This title aspires to present a representative selection of the material available and serve as a guide to the main categories of printed material on the subject in western languages. Due to their pre-existing availability and overwhelming quantity, government publications have been kept to a minimum.
Book Synopsis The Old Regime and the Haitian Revolution by : Malick W. Ghachem
Download or read book The Old Regime and the Haitian Revolution written by Malick W. Ghachem and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haitian Revolution (1789–1804) was an epochal event that galvanized slaves and terrified planters throughout the Atlantic world. Rather than view this tumultuous period solely as a radical rupture with slavery, Malick W. Ghachem's innovative study shows that emancipation in Haiti was also a long-term product of its colonial legal history. Ghachem takes us deep into this volatile colonial past, digging beyond the letter of the law and vividly re-enacting such episodes as the extraordinary prosecution of a master for torturing and killing his slaves. This book brings us face-to-face with the revolutionary invocation of Old Regime law by administrators seeking stability, but also by free people of color and slaves demanding citizenship and an end to brutality. The result is a subtle yet dramatic portrait of the strategic stakes of colonial governance in the land that would become Haiti.
Book Synopsis Enlightenment and Emancipation by : Susan Manning
Download or read book Enlightenment and Emancipation written by Susan Manning and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Enlightenment has been represented in radically opposing ways: on the one hand, as the throwing off of the chains of superstition, custom, and usurped authority; on the other hand, in the Romantic period, but also more recently, as what Michel Foucault termed "the great confinement," in which "mind-forged manacles" imprison the free and irrational spirit. The debate about the "Enlightenment project" remains a topical one, which can still arouse fierce passions. This collection of essays by distinguished scholars from various disciplines addresses the central question: "Was Enlightenment a force for emancipation?" Their responses, working from within, and frequently across the disciplinary lines of history, political science, economics, music, literature, aesthetics, art history, and film, reveal unsuspected connections and divergences even between well-known figures and texts. In their turn, the essays suggest the need for further inquiry in areas that turn out to be very far from closed. The volume considers major writings in unusual juxtaposition; highlights new figures of importance; and demonstrates familiar texts to embody strange implications."--Publisher's website.
Book Synopsis Tropical Despotisms by : David Allen Harvey
Download or read book Tropical Despotisms written by David Allen Harvey and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Despotisms reveals the alarm that spread among France's Caribbean possessions during the period between the Seven Years' War and the Revolution and the determination to cultivate a new patriotic community rooted in the Enlightenment principles of honor and civic virtue. Following France's humiliating defeat at the hands of the British, a loose coalition of frustrated and enlightened reformers hoped to promote imperial regeneration in order to restore France's wounded national pride, stabilize and strengthen the Antillean colonies, and bind the colonies more closely to the metropole. David Allen Harvey describes the historical relationship between capitalism and slavery in the making of the modern world economy and moves beyond simplistic arguments by discussing the contingent and evolving dynamic between the two. As a result, he reveals how capitalism and slavery developed in tandem in the eighteenth-century Caribbean but explains that reformers sought to enact a gradual transition to a free wage labor regime more in keeping with capitalism's ideal of free and voluntary contractual relationships between formally equal parties. Tropical Despotisms provides a new perspective on the social and demographic structure in the French Antilles and the wider French Atlantic world. Harvey uncovers not only the deep and critical debates around the issues of slavery and race but also the efforts by enlightened reformers as they proposed rethinking the political and economic structures by which the empire had been ruled, rationalizing governing institutions, and liberalizing trade.
Book Synopsis The Great Nation in Decline by : Sean M. Quinlan
Download or read book The Great Nation in Decline written by Sean M. Quinlan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies how doctors responded to - and helped shape - deep-seated fears about nervous degeneracy and population decline in France between 1750 and 1850. It uncovers a rich and far-ranging medical debate in which four generations of hygiene activists used biomedical science to transform the self, sexuality and community in order to regenerate a sick and decaying nation; a programme doctors labelled 'physical and moral hygiene'. Moreover, it is shown how doctors imparted biomedical ideas and language that allowed lay people to make sense of often bewildering socio-political changes, thereby giving them a sense of agency and control over these events. Combining a chronological and thematic approach, the six chapters in this book trace how doctors began their medical crusade during the middle of the Enlightenment, how this activism flowered during the French Revolution, and how they then revised their views during the period of post-revolutionary reaction. The study concludes by arguing that medicine acquired an unprecedented political, social and cultural position in French society, with doctors becoming the primary spokesmen for bourgeois values, and thus helped to define the new world that emerged from the post-revolutionary period.

Book Synopsis Condorcet and Modernity by : David Williams
Download or read book Condorcet and Modernity written by David Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marquis de Condorcet was one of the few Enlightenment ideologists to witness the French Revolution and participate as an elected politician at the centre of events during France's transition from monarchy to republic. Condorcet and Modernity explores the interaction between Condorcet's political theory, legislative pragmatism, public policy proposals and the management of change. David Williams examines key topics including rights, the civil order, the Church, the slave trade, women's civil rights, judicial reform, voting and representation, economics, monarchy, power and revolution. He explores the complex links between Condorcet as the visionary ideologist and Condorcet as the pragmatic legislator, and between Condorcet's concept of modernity - the application of 'social arithmetic' to government policies. Based on an extensive array of both printed and manuscript sources, this major contribution to enlightenment studies is a full treatment of Condorcet's politics.
Book Synopsis A Colony of Citizens by : Laurent Dubois
Download or read book A Colony of Citizens written by Laurent Dubois and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of universal rights is often understood as the product of Europe, but as Laurent Dubois demonstrates, it was profoundly shaped by the struggle over slavery and citizenship in the French Caribbean. Dubois examines this Caribbean revolution by focusing on Guadeloupe, where, in the early 1790s, insurgents on the island fought for equality and freedom and formed alliances with besieged Republicans. In 1794, slavery was abolished throughout the French Empire, ushering in a new colonial order in which all people, regardless of race, were entitled to the same rights. But French administrators on the island combined emancipation with new forms of coercion and racial exclusion, even as newly freed slaves struggled for a fuller freedom. In 1802, the experiment in emancipation was reversed and slavery was brutally reestablished, though rebels in Saint-Domingue avoided the same fate by defeating the French and creating an independent Haiti. The political culture of republicanism, Dubois argues, was transformed through this transcultural and transatlantic struggle for liberty and citizenship. The slaves-turned-citizens of the French Caribbean expanded the political possibilities of the Enlightenment by giving new and radical content to the idea of universal rights.
