Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avez-vous déjà entendu parler du Bataillon Noir? Il n’est jamais trop tard pour découvrir l’existence du 2e Bataillon de construction, aussi appelé le Bataillon Noir. Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, comme tant de jeunes gens courageux, de nombreux hommes Noirs ont voulu s’enrôler, mais pour la plupart, ils ont été rejetés. C’est pourquoi le Bataillon Noir a été formé. C’était une unité de travail qui abattait des arbres et produisait du bois d’oeuvre. Ces hommes étaient tout de même des soldats et c’est avec fierté qu’ils ont servi le Canada. Il nous appartient de nous remémorer leur contribution, au même titre que celle d’autres soldats, à l’occasion de la journée du Souvenir et tout au long de l’année. Ce poème en vers libres sur les soldats canadiens Noirs aborde des sujets comme le racisme et la discrimination dans un format accessible aux jeunes lecteurs. Le glossaire et les questions de réflexion aident les pédagogues, les parents et les tuteurs à ouvrir le dialogue avec les enfants sur les enjeux soulevés dans Nous honorons le Bataillon Noir.

Book Synopsis Arab Women in Algeria by : Hubertine Auclert
Download or read book Arab Women in Algeria written by Hubertine Auclert and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the first English edition of Hubertine Auclert's Arab Women in Algeria which offers a unique picture of Algerian society in late 19th century. Hubertine Auclert (1848-1914) was one of the foremost militants for women's political rights in France from the mid-1870s. She lived in Algeria from 1888 to 1892, where she investigated the customs and traditions that defined the condition of women. She witnessed both the exploitation of women and that of the colonized people; in doing so, she drew a picture of colonial Algerian society. While women were mistreated by men (sale of prepubescent girls into marriage, forced marriage, repudiation permitted only to men, polygamy), Arab men were mistreated by the colonial administration and excluded from the government of Algeria. She denounced the contradictions and hypocrisy of French justice, which often enforced, for their own interest, the "anomalies" of Muslim law in contradiction with French law. The last chapter of the book comprises of several striking anecdotes that illustrate the author's theoretical views. Jacqueline Grenez Brovender is a freelance translator and a former lecturer in French at Tufts University. Denise Brahimi-Chapuis taught in French and Algerian universities about the relationship between France and the Maghreb and its effect on women.
Book Synopsis Yesterday's Self by : Andreea Deciu Ritivoi
Download or read book Yesterday's Self written by Andreea Deciu Ritivoi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Yesterday's Self, Andreea Ritivoi explores the philosophical and historical dimensions of nostalgia in the lives of immigrants, forging a connection between current trends in the philosophy of identity and intercultural studies. The book considers such questions as, Does attachment to one's native culture preclude or merely influence adaptation into a new culture? Do we fashion our identity in interdependence with others, or do we shape it in a non-contingent frame? Is it possible to assimilate in an unfamiliar world without risking self-alienation? Ritivoi's response: nostalgia is both the poison and the cure in such situations.

Book Synopsis Modernity and Nostalgia by : Romy Golan
Download or read book Modernity and Nostalgia written by Romy Golan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golan argues that reactionary issues such as anti-urbanism, the return to the soil, regionalism, corporatism, xenophobia, and doubts about the new technology became central to cultural and art-historical discourse. Focusing on the overlap of avant-garde and middle-of-the-road production, she investigates the import of these issues not only in, painting, sculpture, and architecture (concentrating on the work of Leger, Picasso, Le Corbusier, Ozenfant, Derain, the Surrealists, and the so-called naifs), but also in the decorative arts, in the spectacle of world and colonial fairs, and in literature. Throughout she finds evidence that artists turned from the aesthetics of the machine age toward a more organic, naturalistic art. This leads her to ask whether the famous and momentous shift of the avant-garde from Paris to New York in 1939 did not, in fact, begin two decades earlier, in 1918.

Book Synopsis Gender and Empire by : Angela Woollacott
Download or read book Gender and Empire written by Angela Woollacott and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-23 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first single-authored books to survey the role of sex and gender in the 'new imperial history', Gender and Empire covers the whole British Empire, demonstrating connections and comparisons between the white-settler colonies, and the colonies of exploitation and rule. Through key topics and episodes across a broad range of British Empire history, Angela Woollacott examines how gender ideologies and practices affected women and men, and structured imperial politics and culture. Woollacott integrates twenty years of scholarship, providing fresh insights and interpretation using feminist and postcolonial approaches. Fiction and other vivid primary sources present the voices of historical subjects, enlivening discussions of central topics and debates in imperial and colonial history. The circulation of imperial culture and colonial subjects along with conceptions of gender and race reveals the integrated nature of British colonialism from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Authoritative and approachable, this is essential reading for students of world history, imperial history and gender relations.
