The Algeria Hotel
The Algeria Hotel in Vichy was the sight of the Gestapo Headquarters in World War II: an emblem of the French cohabitation with the worst excesses of Nazism. This book aims to lift the veil of amnesia now shrouding France's collective memory of such collusion - in Bordeaux, Vichy and Tulle.

Géopolitique de l'Auvergne
Pendant une année, Pierre Mazataud a collecté 50 000 données de base sur les 15 consultations les plus révélatrices de l'évolution politique de l'Auvergne depuis 1946. Il a établi la biographie de quelques 650 candidats ou élus, analysé leurs déclarations et leurs écrits, consulté systématiquement archives et journaux. Il a consacré une nouvelle année pour affiner son analyse à l'échelle des petits pays, voire des cantons, et pour proposer cette synthèse de géopolitique. Cette étude, originale à bien des titres, constate que les cartes officielles de la vie politique, les limites administratives et les découpages électoraux sont souvent de mauvais compromis entre le po...
Historical Dictionary of Niger
Sitting on the cusp between Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa, Niger is in many ways a remarkable place, blending in the harsh Sahelian environment a great diversity of cultures and lifestyles to make up a poor but resilient nation. The country was established in the early 20th century in what used to be the busy crossroad of exchanges between the kingdoms and empires of West Africa and the Arab-Islamic world. The resulting melting pot is a blend of Western Sudanic cultures, manifest in particular in its food, music, and dance, as well as in the enduring rituals and practices of animist religions, along with a good deal of Arab culture imported through the Islamic religion and a dash of F...
Historical Dictionary of Niger
Niger is a crossroad, the gate to the outside for West Africans, and the port of entry into West Africa for cross-Saharan tidings and travelers. It remained for centuries the largely uncontrolled periphery of the large empires of the western Sudan and the market cities of the central Sudan. In these two ways, the land forged a very distinctive identity, a fluid blend of diverse communities which make up a nation of marginal cosmopolitans – a paradox illuminated in this book. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of Niger contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.
Historical Dictionary of Cote d'Ivoire (The Ivory Coast)
Côte d’Ivoire remains one of the most intriguing countries in sub-Saharan Africa. It appeared well on its way to becoming a model of development under its single political party and charismatic founding father, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, when it fell on hard economic times in the 1980s. Poor management of the socio-economic challenges by Houphouët-Boigny’s successors produced disastrous political consequences, including unprecedented political violence, the first-ever successful military coup, and two civil wars, culminating in former President Laurent Gbagbo being sent to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to stand trial for war crimes. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Cote d'Ivoire (The Ivory Coast) contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Cote d'Ivoire.
Agriculture et développement dans l'est du Québec
Une forte déprise agricole a caractérisé l’histoire récente des régions périphériques et notamment celle de l’Est du Québec. L’évolution de cette agriculture régionale résultant davantage d’une transformation des conditions économiques et sociales de la production agricole que des contraintes écologiques, l’ouvrage retrace le processus historique d’implantation d’un modèle de développement agricole qui a accéléré la différenciation régionale de l’agriculture québécoise et l’avènement de régions rurales marginalisées où la modernisation de l’agriculture signifie aussi sa marginalisation.
