"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.

Championing the tenderest of homicidal tendencies, a penchant for mercy killings and redemptive rites of passage, A Jazz Funeral for Uncle Tom is exactly what it announces it is, a book as dynamic and eternal event wherein a feminine voice leads her band of improvisers in a procession of joyous interrogation and forgiveness. This ritural is simultaneously a purging of any cowardly impulses in the speaker and in the culture she addresses and speaks as, and a releasing or banishing of unfit archetypes, readying the landscape for fresh forces by torching the weakest links in the prevailing mythos.

Estudo de um dos temas mais cruciais da historia do país, este livro aborda, de maneira original, como os escravos estruturavam sua própria vida e o papel decisivo que tiveram na construção e funcionamento do sistema escravocrata.

O author mapeia especialmente as limitações e oportunidades de uma população incapaz ce construir seu próprio destino, e que consegue apenas (e esporadicamente) limitar a ação de seus senhores, vivendo numa equação desequilibrada que a prejudicia enormemente. E esse mapeamento é perpassado pelas relações nada simples que havia entre escravos, senhores e outras camadas sociais na sociedade escraocrata brasileira.

Ao mesmo tempo, escudado no pressuposto ético de que a História deve servir para se entender e explicar o presente, o autor situa na atualidade o singular fenômeno estudado, em que a função da cidadania vem sendo cada vez mais debatida e justificada.

O seu objectivo, estudar a luta que o PAIGC travou pela libertação da Guiné e de Cabo Verde, constitui uma importante contribuição para a história dos dois países — como, aliás, o Prof. Joseph Ki-Zerbo, pai da historiografia africana, salienta no prefácio —, pois põe à disposição do grande público o resultado de uma interpretação interactiva das memórias de antigos combatentes cruzada com informações extraídas dos arquivos portugueses e do PAIGC.

Ivoirien Capitalism: African Entrepreneurs in Côte d'Ivoire by John Rapley

#CôtedIvoire, #IvoryCoast, #WestAfrica, #Africa, #capitalism, #colonialism, #neocolonialism, #antiblackness, #development, #independence, #economics, #economicdevelopment, #frenchcolonialism

Though studies of capitalism in Africa traditionally focus on the activities of foreign investment, in Côte d'Ivoire capitalist development has been largely the work of a domestic class of entrepreneurs.

This book traces the history of Côte d'Ivoire's capitalist development, beginning with early European contact and bringing the story up to the present decade. Drawing on new data, Rapley's provocative argument refutes all standard assumptions about capitalism in the country. He demonstrates that a dynamic capitalist class has emerged in Côte d'Ivoire, one neither subordinate to foreign interests nor synonymous with the bureaucratic or political elite. These indigenous entrepreneurs, Rapley posits, as a class control the Ivoirien state, and it is indigenous Ivoirien capitalism that has been primarily responsible for the growth of the country's economy.
