A City Against Empire
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. A City Against Empire is the history of the anti-imperialist movement in 1920s Mexico City. It combines intellectual, social, and urban history to shed light on the city’s role as an important global hub for anti-imperialism, exile activism, political art, and solidarity campaigns. After the Russian and the Mexican Revolution, Mexico City became a space and a symbol of global anti-imperialism. Radical politicians, artists, intellectuals, scientists, migrants, and revolutionary tourists took advantage of the urban environment ...
The Interwar World
The Interwar World collects an international group of over 50 contributors to discuss, analyze, and interpret this crucial period in twentieth-century history. A comprehensive understanding of the interwar era has been limited by Euro-American approaches and strict adherence to the temporal limits of the world wars. The volume’s contributors challenge the era’s accepted temporal and geographic framings by privileging global processes and interactions. Each contribution takes a global, thematic approach, integrating world regions into a shared narrative. Three central questions frame the chapters. First, when was the interwar? Viewed globally, the years 1918 and 1939 are arbitrary limits,...
Nationaliser le panafricanisme
Le sentiment d’appartenance à l’Afrique a largement été envisagé à partir d’expériences afro-diasporiques, en particulier américaines. On sait moins la manière dont cette question est devenue centrale sur le continent dans le contexte des décolonisations de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale aux premières années des indépendances. Des figures du panafricanisme comme Kwame Nkrumah ont fait de la construction d’une identité africaine l’un des enjeux clés de l’émancipation du continent. Durant cette période, l’idée d’unité africaine devait néanmoins composer avec le nationalisme consolidé dans les nouveaux États. Comment s’articulaient ces sentiments et ...
The Politics of Biography in Africa
Bringing together historians, political scientists, and literary analysts, this volume shows how biographical narratives can shed light on alternative, little known or under-researched aspects of state power in African politics. Part 1 shows how biographical narratives breathe new life into subjects who, upon decolonization, had been reduced to silence - women, workers, and radical politicians. The contributors analyze the complex relationship between biographical narratives and power, questioning either the power of biographical codes peculiar to western, colonial origins, or the power to shape public memory. Part 2 reflects on the act of (auto-)biography writing as an exercise of power, on...
100 Years of World Wars and Post-War Regional Collaboration
This book is about the 100 years of World Wars and Regional Collaboration in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, investigating and considering how to foster Good Governance and New World Order. The world is currently at the historical turning point. The twentieth century witnessed two World Wars (WWI and WWII), followed by the Cold War that dominated geopolitics. Amidst the post-war devastation, the European Community, soon succeeded by the European Union, came into being. Peaceful governance was nurtured by building economic collaboration and institutions and by establishing liberalism, democracy and the rule of law. In Asia, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) also pur...
L'Idée de la Casamance autonome
Depuis quarante ans, le Mouvement des forces démocratiques de Casamance argue d’un droit à la séparation avec le Sénégal qui aurait été acquis pendant la colonisation. Réfutée par les travaux académiques et experts, cette affirmation ne peut, pour autant, être traitée à la légère. La centralité du moment colonial dans la narration indépendantiste casamançaise est une réverbération, dans le présent, des zones grises du passé. Entre le dernier quart du xixe siècle et les années 1970, l’idée de l’autonomie s’est forgée et consolidée dans l’expérience coloniale, les luttes des années de la décolonisation, les attentes morales et la mémoire politique que c...
Gandhi After Gandhi
Writing about Gandhi without being obvious is always difficult. Numerous books and articles are published every year, especially across the anniversaries of his birth and death. The judicious scholar believes that writing something new on this iconic figure is almost impossible. However, in the difficult times when this book was conceived, at the peak of what presumably can be considered as the worst humanitarian disaster of the 21st century, the Gandhian legacy has become more topical than ever. Gandhi’s thought and experience regarding laws and economy, and his views on secularism or on the tremendous effects of the colonial rule in India and beyond provide the opportunity to reflect on ...
Une histoire globale des révolutions
" La révolution est terminée. " À la fin du siècle dernier, la formule a fait date. Mais rien n'était plus faux. Il suffit, pour s'en convaincre, de déplacer le regard hors des régions occidentales, à Tunis, Alger, Hong Kong ou Téhéran. Étendre dans l'espace mais aussi dans le temps, bien avant le XVIIIe siècle, l'enquête sur les révolutions, en montrer les dynamiques transnationales, les échos, les reprises, les " modèles " comme les singularités, telle est l'ambition de cette histoire globale. Rédigés par des spécialistes du monde entier, ses chapitres explorent la richesse de l'histoire révolutionnaire, mettent en lumière des révolutions moins connues et arpentent d...
