The first, a description of ‘those days’ was written in early 1985 in response to a request from friends of Walter associated with the Walter Rodney bookshop and Race Today Collective in the UK. … The second briefly discusses Rodney's contribution to the struggle for bread and justice. It was written in 1981…”

"This book is an ambitious, extensive and detailed analysis of the roles played by African women in seven revolutionary movements in post World War II Africa. The revolutionary movements covered in this book occurred in: Algeria, Kenya, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. The book describes and analyzes the nature and impact of women's participation in these revolutionary movements. How did these revolutionary movements define women's liberation? What is the linkage between feminist theories of liberation and national liberation? Did the national liberation movements betray women? And what has been the fate of the original commitments (and impulses) toward women's liberation and gender equality?"

Ce livre analyse la vie et l’œuvre de l’historien et homme politique de Guyana, Walter Rodney (1942-1980), ses années de formation, ses influences, son idéologie, et son action politique.

Alors que Rodney a fait l’objet d’une demi-douzaine de monographies en anglais, cet ouvrage est le premier travail en français consacré à cet historien anglophone. Il s’adresse autant à un public universitaire travaillant sur les mondes africains qu’à un public « militant » engagé sur les questions de développement et de luttes sociales.

"This year (1984) marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the formal abolition of slavery in the English-speaking Caribbean and this work is intended to commemorate the occasion.

Finally, the most detailed research to date of the 1816 slave rebellion and its impactupon the emancipation debate is presented, which suggests that Barbadian slaves, like their counterparts in Demerara and Jamaica who rebelled in 1823 and 1831 respectively, were saying to their owners and the Imperial government, you will either grant us our freedom by law or force us to make it by war. This work is a polemical account of the changing relationships between maturing black radical consciousness and white power in Barbados during the slavery period. It goes a long way towards assisting the process of decolonising the island's general Eurocentric historiography."

The French Sugar Business in the Eighteenth Century by Robert Louis Stein

Topics
#blackchattelslavery, #france, #frenchcolonialism, #frenchimperialism, #economics, #history, #Caribbean, #sugar, #sugarplantations, #Guadeloupe, #Haiti, #saintdomingue, #Martinique, #Tobago, #SaintLucia, #StLucia, #Guiana, #frenchGuyana, #Guyane, #sugarcane, #Antilles

Plantations in the French Antilles (principally in Haiti) became major sugar producers in the 18th century, and France became a main distributor to other European countries. Stein provides a clear and coherent (if sometimes repetitious) explanation of the three-pronged trade; ships from France carried slaves from Africa to the Antilles, and then returned to Europe with sugar. The slaves, most of whom died of disease and overwork, were victims of the French sugar trade.

"In the euphoria that followed the departure of Haiti’s hated dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier, most Haitian and foreign analysts treated the regimes of the two Duvaliers, father and son, as a historical nightmare created by the malevolent minds of the leaders and their supporters. Yet the crisis, economic and political, that faces this small Caribbean nation did not begin with the dictatorship, and is far from being solved, despite its departure from the scene. In this fascinating study, Haitian-born Michel-Rolph Trouillot examines the mechanisms through which the Duvaliers ruthlessly won and then held onto power for twenty-nine years."

Exile to Paradise: Savagery and Civilization in Paris and the South Pacific, 1790-1900 by Alice Bullard

According to the poet Victor Hugo, the year 1870/71 was France's année terrible. The country suffered a humiliating defeat by the Prussian military, and Parisians endured a cruel siege. In the wake of the siege, Paris exploded and revolutionaries proclaimed the birth of the Paris Commune.

The conservative government of the young Third Republic portrayed the Communards as savage destroyers of civilization. The Communards were depicted as plagued by original sin, the evil nature of fallen man, and atavistic degeneration.

These alleged traits aligned them with non-white peoples who were commonly thought to be severed from justice, liberty, and divine love. The punishment of the Communards was an odd one; some 4,500 revolutionaries were exiled to the South Pacific colony of New Caledonia with the hope that the inherent truths of nature would instill in their minds a natural morality.

However, the French government had not sufficiently considered the presence of the indigenous people of these "wilderness islands," the Melanesian Kanak. If the Communards were to be moralized by New Caledonia, how was it that the Kanak—who had lived for thousands of years on this land—did not also profit from this moralizing influence? This was just the first paradox provoked by the deportation of Parisian "political savages" to the land of these "natural savages." The surprising parallels and interactions between the Melanesians and the Parisians in their confrontation with the forces of French civilization form the substance of this book. It explores such themes as the history of the self, moralization as a means to civilization, nostalgia as a fatal illness, and colonial humanitarianism and gendered hybridity.

The “Terrorism” Industry: The Experts and Institutions That Shape Our View of Terror by Edward S. Herman; Gerry O'Sullivan

What is a terrorist act? The authors argue that experts on the subject hold imperialist views biased in favor of the status quo or government perspectives. The biases are largely a product of the “terrorism industry” that has grown up in response to government funding, which includes networks of government agencies, think tanks, and private security firms. The mass media also have a big role in promoting terrorist stereotypes, often missing a balanced perspective on a “terrorist” act. The authors also discuss the historical uses of stereotyping threatening groups.

from the foreword:

“The rulers of the USA are, of course, extremely interested in keeping the mantle of secrecy over their intelligence network. This mantle has been torn aside in not a few cases in recent months. The CIA answered by tightening up their secrecy directives and also by improving their cloak and dagger rules. The ‘invisible government’ shall have neither names nor faces.

For this reason the time appeared to have come to demask a first representative selection of leading officials and officers, collaborators and agents of the US intelligence services who are operating on five continents.”

„Die Machthaber der USA sind selbstverständlich außerordentlich bemüht, den Mantel des Scheigens über ihr Geheindienstnetz zu breiten. Dieser Mantel ist in den letzten Monaten in nicht wenig Fällen zerrissen worden. Die CIA reagierte mit verschärften Geheimhaltungsdirektiven und verfeinerte ihre konspirativen Regeln: Die ‚unsichtbare Regierung‘ soll keine Namen und Gesichter haben.

Deshalb schien es an der Zeit, eine erste repräsentative Auswahl von leitenden Beamten und Offizieren, Mitarbeitern und Agenten des amerikanischen Geheimdienstes, die auf fünf Kontinenten eingesetzt sind, zu demaskieren.“

The Black freedom fighters of the Lesser Antilles became known as “brigands” during the french revolution. Their fascinating story has never been written, perhaps because they have been dismissed as runaway slaves in a state of insurrection. The author believed that history has been unfair to the “brigands”. He felt indebted to them for sparing the life of his great-great-great-grandmother who was left in their care when the rest of the Devaux family fled to Martinique for safety. His gratitude motivated him to attempt to exonerate the “brigands” from the stigma of their history and present them in a different light, as freedom fighters caught up in a desperate situation.

L'auteur retrace dans ce livre l'histoire de Oasis, un jeune congolais qui a vécu toute son adolescence avec ses parents dans une ville qu'il sera obligé de quitter parce qu'il n'en était pas originaire. Gladys Wenceslas Toudissa, lui-même congolais d'origine, né à Kimongo dans la région du Niari, décrit avec hardiesse la cruauté des hommes pendant la guerre de Brazzaville en juxtaposant ces principaux troubles sociopolitiques que le Congo a connu depuis l'instauration de régime pluraliste.

Son vécu des années de guerre développe ici l'histoire d'un pays qui se déchirait et dénonce la violence des hommes politiques.
