Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities have existed in sub-Saharan Africa since antiquity. But only now are historians and archaeologists rediscovering their rich heritage: the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe and Congo, the harbor cities at the Indian Ocean, the capitals of the Bantu Kingdoms, the Atlantic cities from the 16th to the 18th centuries, and the urban revolutions in the 19th century. Mercantile cities opened Africa to the world, Islamic cities became centers of scholarship and the trans-Saharan trade, Creole cities appeared after the first contact with Europeans, and Bantu cities of the hinterland reacted against them. The author has gone through vast numbers of archival records and conducted independent field research to analyze and describe the rich history of African cities even long before imperial colonization began, and she continues her story until the time of urban reorganization during industrialization. The result is a colorful panorama of urban lifestyles including unique examples of architecture, and lasting traditions of ethnic, cultural, religious, and commercial forms of co-existence.

Book Synopsis Histoire de la traite des Noirs : de l'Antiquité à nos jours by : Hubert Deschamps
Download or read book Histoire de la traite des Noirs : de l'Antiquité à nos jours written by Hubert Deschamps and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1972-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La traite des Noirs : un des sujets les plus passionnants de l’Histoire qui n’avait jamais, jusqu’à la brillante synthèse d’Hubert Deschamps, été étudié dans son ensemble. Loin de se limiter à la traite européenne atlantique de la fin du XVe au milieu du XIXe, l’auteur retrace le développement du système depuis les Pharaons jusqu’aux trafiquants du XXe siècle. Le rôle des musulmans y est indiqué à côté de celui des chrétiens. Au-delà de l’espace atlantique, d’autres théâtres apparaissent : l’océan Indien et l’Afrique intérieure. Les drames qui s’y jouent ne le cèdent en rien à ceux du « trafic triangulaire » de fameuse et sinistre mémoire. Par la maîtrise de la documentation comme par l’objectivité de l’enquête, ce livre s’impose à tous ceux qui veulent comprendre une ténébreuse entreprise qui a duré des millénaires en faisant peu d’honneur à l’humanité.

Book Synopsis Caribbean New Orleans by : Cécile Vidal
Download or read book Caribbean New Orleans written by Cécile Vidal and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining Atlantic and imperial perspectives, Caribbean New Orleans offers a lively portrait of the city and a probing investigation of the French colonists who established racial slavery there as well as the African slaves who were forced to toil for them. Casting early New Orleans as a Caribbean outpost of the French Empire rather than as a North American frontier town, Cecile Vidal reveals the persistent influence of the Antilles, especially Saint-Domingue, which shaped the city's development through the eighteenth century. In so doing, she urges us to rethink our usual divisions of racial systems into mainland and Caribbean categories. Drawing on New Orleans's rich court records as a way to capture the words and actions of its inhabitants, Vidal takes us into the city's streets, market, taverns, church, hospitals, barracks, and households. She explores the challenges that slow economic development, Native American proximity, imperial rivalry, and the urban environment posed to a social order that was predicated on slave labor and racial hierarchy. White domination, Vidal demonstrates, was woven into the fabric of New Orleans from its founding. This comprehensive history of urban slavery locates Louisiana's capital on a spectrum of slave societies that stretched across the Americas and provides a magisterial overview of racial discourses and practices during the formative years of North America's most intriguing city.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Slave Trade Suppression in Britain and France, 1814-48 by : P. Kielstra
Download or read book The Politics of Slave Trade Suppression in Britain and France, 1814-48 written by P. Kielstra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-07-25 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's rarely-examined, nineteenth-century diplomatic efforts for abolition took contemporary pre-eminence over most questions and almost sparked war with France in 1845. Kielstra examines the issue in Anglo-French relations: how conflicting moral, economic, and nationalist pressures and lobby groups affected domestic politics and high diplomacy. To preserve peace and their positions, statesmen had little margin for error as they framed policies which attacked the trade and satisfied mutually incompatible domestic opinions, in a struggle which holds lessons for current efforts to include human rights concerns in foreign policy.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of French History by : David Andress
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of French History written by David Andress and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed firmly at the student reader, this handbook offers an overview of the full range of the history of France, from the origins of the concept of post-Roman "Francia," through the emergence of a consolidated French monarchy and the development of both nation-state and global empire into the modern era, forward to the current complexities of a modern republic integrated into the European Union and struggling with the global legacies of its past. Short, incisive contributions by a wide range of expert scholars offer both a spine of chronological overviews and a diverse spectrum of up-to-date insights into areas of key interest to historians today. From the ravages of the Vikings to the role of gastronomy in the definition of French culture, from Caribbean slavery to the place of Algerians in present-day France, from the role of French queens in medieval diplomacy to the youth-culture explosion of the 1960s and the explosions of France’s nuclear weapons program, this handbook provides accessible summaries and selected further reading to explore any and all of these issues further, in the classroom and beyond.
