Book Synopsis Empire and Underworld by : Miranda Frances Spieler
Download or read book Empire and Underworld written by Miranda Frances Spieler and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Revolution invented the notion of the citizen, but it also invented the noncitizen—the person whose rights were nonexistent. The South American outpost of Guiana became a depository for these outcasts of the new French citizenry, and an experimental space for the exercise of new kinds of power and violence against marginal groups.
Book Synopsis Guiana and the Shadows of Empire by : Joshua R. Hyles
Download or read book Guiana and the Shadows of Empire written by Joshua R. Hyles and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of the three Guianas, now known as Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Though histories of each of the countries exist, this is the first work in a century to consider the three countries as a group, and thus the first to present the history of all three as a comparative and overarching study. Special emphasis has been given to the story of how each colony was administered by Britain, the Netherlands, and France respectively, and how these differing colonial administrative policies have given rise to three vastly different cultures. Because the geographical area of the Guianas is relatively small, the indigenous population at the time of contact was relatively uniform across the area, and the external pressures on the three colonies over their histories exhibited significant similarities, the book presents the Guianas as an ideal laboratory in which to study the effects of imperialism and cultural assimilation practices. The book also briefly considers the present political and cultural status of the three polities and makes some projections about their possible futures. In all, the book presents a complete history from prehistory until the present day covering the entirety of the Guianas region, relating a colorful history from a little-studied corner of the world.

Book Synopsis Exploring Language in a Multilingual Context by : Bettina Migge
Download or read book Exploring Language in a Multilingual Context written by Bettina Migge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposing a new methodological approach to documenting languages spoken in multilingual societies, this book retraces the investigation of one unique linguistic space, the Creole varieties referred to as Takitaki in multilingual French Guiana. It illustrates how interactional sociolinguistic, anthropological linguistic, discourse analytical and quantitative sociolinguistic approaches can be integrated with structural approaches to language in order to resolve rarely discussed questions systematically (what are the outlines of the community, who is a rightful speaker, what speech should be documented) that frequently crop up in projects of language documentation in multilingual contexts. The authors argue that comprehensively documenting complex linguistic phenomena requires taking into account the views of all local social actors (native and non-native speakers, institutions, linguists, non-speakers, etc.), applying a range of complementary data collection and analysis methods and putting issues of ideology, variation, language contact and interaction centre stage. This book will be welcomed by researchers in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, fieldwork studies, language documentation and language variation and change.
Download or read book French Guiana written by Janet Crane and published by Oxford, England : Clio Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Guiana lies on the north coast of South America, with Suriname to the west and Brazil to the south and east. French occupation began in the early seventeenth century. After brief periods of Dutch, English and Portuguese rule, the territory was confirmed as French in 1817. The colony steadily declined, after a short period of prosperity in the 1850s as a result of the discovery of gold. French Guiana, including the notorious Devil's Island, was used as a penal colony until 1937, and the territory became an Overseas Department of France in 1946. This bibliography, containing some 500 entries, brings together, for the first time, the most important French and English publications concerning French Guiana.

Book Synopsis Early History and Culture of French Guiana by : Brandon Bell
Download or read book Early History and Culture of French Guiana written by Brandon Bell and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early History and Culture of French Guiana. A Travel guide for Tourism. French Guiana's population is principally Creole (mixed descent), with minorities of metropolitan French, Haitians, Surinamese, Antilleans, Chinese, Brazilians, South Asians, and others. The principal languages spoken are French (official); Guianese Creole French; several indigenous languages, including Wayampi, Carib, and Emerillon; and the various languages of the immigrant communities. The principal religious affiliation is Christianity (primarily Roman Catholicism), adhered to by more than four-fifths of the population. The populace is concentrated principally in and around Cayenne, the largest city, and the coastal regions; the interior is largely uninhabited. Demographic rates are those generally typical of a developing country. There was immigration from Southeast Asia, Haiti, and the French Caribbean territories beginning in the late 20th century. Even if a French crew originally in search of Eldorado, landed on Guiana in1500, just after Christopher Columbus had already been there, it wasn't until1644 that a genuine European commercial establishment really began. The Amazonian tribes, the Wayanas, Arawaks, Emerillons and the Galibis were then very endangered. With slavery, the 'creolitude' of Guiana began to increase
Book Synopsis The French Revolution in Global Perspective by : Suzanne Desan
Download or read book The French Revolution in Global Perspective written by Suzanne Desan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situating the French Revolution in the context of early modern globalization for the first time, this book offers a new approach to understanding its international origins and worldwide effects. A distinguished group of contributors shows that the political culture of the Revolution emerged out of a long history of global commerce, imperial competition, and the movement of people and ideas in places as far flung as India, Egypt, Guiana, and the Caribbean. This international approach helps to explain how the Revolution fused immense idealism with territorial ambition and combined the drive for human rights with various forms of exclusion. The essays examine topics including the role of smuggling and free trade in the origins of the French Revolution, the entwined nature of feminism and abolitionism, and the influence of the French revolutionary wars on the shape of American empire. The French Revolution in Global Perspective illuminates the dense connections among the cultural, social, and economic aspects of the French Revolution, revealing how new political forms-at once democratic and imperial, anticolonial and centralizing-were generated in and through continual transnational exchanges and dialogues.

Book Synopsis Post-Colonial Trajectories in the Caribbean by : Rosemarijn Hoefte
Download or read book Post-Colonial Trajectories in the Caribbean written by Rosemarijn Hoefte and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares and contrasts the contemporary development experience of neighbouring, geographically similar countries with an analogous history of exploitation but by three different European colonisers. Studying the so-called ‘Three Guianas’ (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) offers a unique opportunity to look for similarities and differences in their contemporary patterns of development, particularly as they grapple with new and complex shifts in the regional, hemispheric and global context. Shaped decisively by their respective historical experiences, Guyana, in tandem with the laissez-faire approach of Britain toward its Caribbean colonies, was decolonised relatively early, in 1966, and has maintained a significant degree of distance from London. The hold of The Hague over Suriname, however, endured well after independence in 1975. French Guiana, by contrast, was decolonised much sooner than both of its neighbours, in 1946, but this was through full integration, thus cementing its place within the political economy and administrative structures of France itself. Traditionally isolated from the Caribbean, the wider Latin American continent and from each other, today, a range of similar issues – such as migration, resource extraction, infrastructure development and energy security – are coming to bear on their societies and provoking deep and complex changes.

Book Synopsis Black French Women and the Struggle for Equality, 1848-2016 by : Félix Germain
Download or read book Black French Women and the Struggle for Equality, 1848-2016 written by Félix Germain and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black French Women and the Struggle for Equality, 1848-2016 explores how black women in France itself, the French Caribbean, Gorée, Dakar, Rufisque, and Saint-Louis experienced and reacted to French colonialism and how gendered readings of colonization, decolonization, and social movements cast new light on the history of French colonization and of black France. In addition to delineating the powerful contributions of black French women in the struggle for equality, contributors also look at the experiences of African American women in Paris and in so doing integrate into colonial and postcolonial conversations the strategies black women have engaged in negotiating gender and race relations à la française. Drawing on research by scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds and countries, this collection offers a fresh, multidimensional perspective on race, class, and gender relations in France and its former colonies, exploring how black women have negotiated the boundaries of patriarchy and racism from their emancipation from slavery to the second decade of the twenty-first century.
