Paru récemment Echoes of Empire. Memory, Identity and Colonial Legacies sous la direction de Kalypso
Nicolaïdis , BernySèbe et GabrielleMaas chez I.B. Tauris, 2014, 432 p. ISBN : 978-1784530518 Prix : 68 £ (existe aussi en version électronique).
"How does our colonial past echo through today’s global politics ? How have former empire-builders sought vindication or atonement, and formerly colonized states reversal or retribution ? This groundbreaking book presents a panoramic view of attitudes to empires past and present, seen not only through the hard politics of international power structures but also through the nuances of memory, historiography and national and minority cultural identities. Bringing together leading historians, poitical scientists and international relations scholars from across the globe, Echoes of Empire emphasizes Europe’s colonial legacy whilst also highlighting the importance of non-European power centres- Ottoman, Russian, Chinese, Japanese- in shaping world politics, then and now. Echoes of Empire bridges the divide between disciplines to trace the global routes travelled by objects, ideas and people and forms a radically different notion of the term ’empire’ itself. This will be an essential companion to courses on international relations and imperial history as well as a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western hegemony, North-South relations, global power shifts and the longue duree."

Vient de paraître The Atlantic World sous la direction de D’Maris

Vient de paraître The Atlantic World sous la direction de D’Maris
Coffman , AdrianLeonard et WilliamO’Reilly chez Routledge, "Routledge Worlds", 2015, 726 p. ISBN : 9780415467049 Prix : 157 £.
"As the meeting point between Europe, colonial America, and Africa, the history of the Atlantic world is a constantly shifting arena, but one which has been a focus of huge and vibrant debate for many years. In over thirty chapters, all written by experts in the field, The Atlantic World takes up these debates and gathers together key, original scholarship to provide an authoritative survey of this increasingly popular area of world history.
The book takes a thematic approach to topics including exploration, migration and cultural encounters. In the first chapters, scholars examine the interactions between groups which converged in the Atlantic world, such as slaves, European migrants and Native Americans. The volume then considers questions such as finance, money and commerce in the Atlantic world, as well as warfare, government and religion. The collection closes with chapters examining how ideas circulated across and around the Atlantic and beyond. It presents the Atlantic as a shared space in which commodities and ideas were exchanged and traded, and examines the impact that these exchanges had on both people and places.
Including an introductory essay from the editors which defines the field, and lavishly illustrated with paintings, drawings and maps this accessible volume is invaluable reading for all students and scholars of this broad sweep of world history."

Vient de paraître A guerra que Portugal quis esquecer. O desastre do exército português em Moçambique na Primeira Guerra Mundial de Manuel Carvalho chez Porto Editora

Vient de paraître A guerra que Portugal quis esquecer. O desastre do exército português em Moçambique na Primeira Guerra Mundial de Manuel Carvalho chez Porto Editora, 2015, 272 p. ISBN : 978-972-0-06183-6 Prix : 14,94 €.
"Entre 1914 e 1918 Portugal enviou mais de 20 mil soldados para Moçambique com o objetivo de garantir a defesa da colónia face aos alemães. Apesar da sua superioridade em número e no equipamento, os soldados portugueses foram condenados a uma missão impossível. As divisões internas, o desleixo com as regras sanitárias, a impreparação para as doenças tropicais, as dificuldades de um país arruinado para manter duas expedições a milhares de quilómetros de distância, a incompetência e a falta de vontade de combater tornaram a aventura moçambicana num dos maiores desastres de sempre das tropas nacionais. Na Primeira Grande Guerra morreram, em Moçambique, mais portugueses do que na frente europeia.
Nascido da série de reportagens homónima com que o autor venceu o Prémio Gazeta de Imprensa em 2015, A Guerra que Portugal quis Esquecer relata as memórias dos soldados, as denúncias de cobardia e de incompetência das chefias e a vergonha pelas derrotas, fazendo justiça a uma parte da História que o Estado Novo tentou apagar."

Paru récemment The Precolonial State in West Africa. Building Power in Dahomey de J.
Cameron Monroe aux Cambridge University Press, "Archaeology of Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific", 2014, 279 p. ISBN : 9781107040182 Prix : 99 $ (existe aussi en version électronique).
"This volume incorporates historical, ethnographic, art historical, and archaeological sources to examine the relationship between the production of space and political order in the West African Kingdom of Dahomey during the tumultuous Atlantic Era. Dahomey, situated in the modern Republic of Bénin, emerged in this period as one of the principle agents in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and an exemplar of West African state formation. Drawing from eight years of ethnohistorical and archaeological fieldwork in the Republic of Bénin, the central thesis of this volume is that Dahomean kings used spatial tactics to project power and mitigate dissent across their territories. J. Cameron Monroe argues that these tactics enabled kings to economically exploit their subjects, and to promote a sense of the historical and natural inevitability of royal power."

Disponible en ligne (gratuitement) Nantes 1900, la maquette du port (15,9 Mo
) aux éditions du Château des Ducs de Bretagne, 2015, 88 p. EAN : 978-2-906519-49-7.
"Le plan-relief du port de Nantes, présenté à l’Exposition universelle de 1900 à Paris, intègre à la fin des années 1920 les collections des musées nantais : objet promotionnel pendant deux décennies au service de l’excellence des aménagements portuaires, il devient dès lors un objet patrimonial d’exception.
Son insertion dans le parcours scénographique du musée d’histoire de Nantes amène rapidement les équipes de la conservation à porter un nouveau regard sur cette maquette, à la questionner et à imaginer une médiation pour « la faire parler ».
Très vite, une collaboration entre l’Université, l’École Centrale de Nantes et le musée voit le jour afin de mettre en place un outil numérique issu de champs de recherches variés.
Désormais, par ce dispositif innovant mis à la disposition du public, le plan-relief devient, au-delà d’un précieux indicateur de l’histoire de l’architecture industrielle et des paysages nantais du début du 20e siècle, un support dynamique à la compréhension du territoire actuel, au cœur de la réflexion sur le devenir de Nantes et de son rapport à la Loire." -
International Conference : Colonial History - Sephardic Perspectives (16-19th Centuries). Potsdam, 27-29 October 2015
Le 26 octobre 2015 à 23h32
Colonial History – Sephardic Perspectives (16-19th Centuries)
International Conference at the Institute for Jewish and Religious Studies
Convener : Prof. Dr. Sina Rauschenbach (University of Potsdam)
University of Potsdam, Am Neuen Palais 10
Haus 8, Raum 0.60/61 (Foyer), 14469 Potsdam
October 27-October 29, 2015
"Over the last decades, new approaches to colonial history have remarkably enriched our understanding of entanglements between early modern European and non-European worlds. Power relationships have been reconsidered from a variety of different perspectives. Multidirectional approaches have been introduced into the analysis of transfers of cultures and knowledge. Binary categories such as colonizers and colonized, white and black, civilized and primitive, have been put into question and been supplanted by more sophisticated and less clear-cut patterns.
Scholars of Jewish history have responded quickly, contributing and proposing new fields of research with regard to Jews and conversos in colonial societies, Jewish history and Atlantic history as well as “forgotten Diasporas” (Mark, da Silva Horta, The Forgotten Diaspora, Cambridge 2013 [2011]) such as Africa and Asia. However, the study of early modern Judaism outside Europe is still in its infancy, and few books touch upon the experiences, cultures, and thoughts of Jewish merchants, settlers, smugglers or indentured workers in and between different European colonies and countries.
The conference “Colonial History – Sephardic Perspectives”, to be held at the University of Potsdam in October 2015, is aimed at contributing to a nascent field of research while fostering Sephardic Studies in German universities."
Participants were invited to present papers dealing with the intersection between early modern colonial and Sephardic history, and to help open fresh perspectives from whence new interests and discussions might arise. Due to the importance of conversos and Sephardim in early modern colonial contexts, the conference will put particular focus on “Sephardic perspectives”, which is to be read as either “perspectives of Sephardim” or “perspectives on Sephardim.” However, participants were also encouraged not to view Sephardic histories and cultures as isolated phenomena, and to place their discussions in more general contexts of Jewish (and hence also Ashkenazic) and non-Jewish experiences.
The conference will close with a visit to “Verfolgt und verbrannt – Mexikos geheime Juden”, a concert and a joint project of the Universities of Potsdam and Konstanz, initiated by Sina Rauschenbach (Potsdam) and Héctor Pérez-Brignoli (San José, Costa Rica). It will take place at Schinkelhalle, Potsdam, on Thursday, October 29, at 8 pm.
Tickets can be purchased at www.t-werk.de.
The conference is open to the public and free of charge.
Attendees are kindly requested to register with Maria Seidel (marseide@uni-potsdam.de).

Vient de paraître Angola’s Colossal Lie. Forced Labor on a Sugar Plantation, 1913-1977 de Jeremy
Ball chez Brill, "African History" (n° 4), 2015, XVI-200 p. ISBN : 9789004301740 Prix : 49 € (existe aussi en version électronique).
"Angola’s Colossal Lie. Forced Labor on a Sugar Plantation, 1913-1977 is the first in-depth study of forced labor on a Portuguese-owned sugar plantation in colonial Angola. A prominent Portuguese civil servant dubbed the labor system in Angola a “colossal lie” because the reality so contradicted the law. Using extensive oral history interviews with former forced laborers, Jeremy Ball explains how Angolans experienced forced labor. Ball also interviews former Portuguese administrators to provide multiple perspectives about the transition to independence and the nationalization of the plantation."
