A Brief History of New Caledonia
A book was missing about New Caledonia, a general book in english language - accessible to all audiences - studying the 3200 years of human history, since the arrival of Austronesian until today. This analysis combines a detailed chronological presentation with thematic approaches. Cet ouvrage en langue anglaise a pour objectif de mettre à la disposition du public anglophone l'histoire de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, du temps des Austronésiens à 2018. Il est la suite logique d'une histoire illustré (Nouméa, 2015) et d'une histoire générale publiée à Paris en 2018.
Oceanic Encounters
This volume, the result of ongoing collaborations between Australian and French anthropologists, historians and linguists, explores encounters between Pacific peoples and foreigners during the longue durée of European exploration, colonisation and settlement from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century. It deploys the concept of `encounter¿ rather than the more common idea of `first contact¿ for several reasons. Encounters with Europeans occurred in the context of extensive prior encounters and exchanges between Pacific peoples, manifest in the distribution of languages and objects and in patterns of human settlement and movement. The concept of encounter highlights the mutuality i...

Vietnam and the Cold War 1945-1954
A forensic study of Vietnam's war, imperial history and international relations in the years following the Second World War. A forensic study of war, imperial history and international relations, following the Second World War and leading into the Cold War and defeat of Western imperialism in Asia. And above all, the story of the pivotal battle and French defeat at Dien Bien Phu. It shows France's revanchist attempt to regain imperial 'glory' in her former Asian empire following humiliation in the Second World War - defeat and Vichy. The effort was spurred by de Galle's chauvinism and desire to recover France’s honour and reputation, after so many humiliations by friend and foe. The Commun...

La France aux antipodes
""Voulez-vous que la Nouvelle-Calédonie accède à la pleine souveraineté et devienne indépendante?" Telle est, le 4 novembre 2018, la question officiellement posée aux habitants de l'archipel, appelés aux urnes pour se prononcer sur leur avenir. Complexe, fascinante et pourtant largement méconnue, l'histoire de ces territoires si éloignés de la métropole est indispensable pour comprendre la situation actuelle, aboutissement de plusieurs décennies de conflits et de malentendus. De l'arrivée des civilisations austronésiennes, il y a trois mille ans, aux "années de cendre" et au drame d'Ouvéa en 1988, en passant par les terribles épidémies du XVIIIe siècle, les missions d'évangélisation, l'implantation du bagne et l'exploitation du nickel, Frédéric Angleviel retrace l'évolution de cette qui fut, avec l'Algérie, la deuxième colonie de peuplement de l'Empire français."--Page 4 de la couverture.
The Kanak Awakening
In 1853, France annexed the Melanesian islands of New Caledonia to establish a convict colony and strategic port of call. Unlike other European settler–dominated countries in the Pacific, the territory’s indigenous people remained more numerous than immigrants for over a century. Despite military conquest, land dispossession, and epidemics, its thirty language groups survived on tribal reserves and nurtured customary traditions and identities. In addition, colonial segregation into the racial category of canaques helped them to find new unity. When neighboring anglophone colonies began to decolonize in the 1960s, France retained tight control of New Caledonia for its nickel reserves, rev...
