This book explores how the eponymous and original Lingua Franca was recognized as a potential linguistic template for future military and colonial pidgins. The author traces the career trajectory of General Louis Faidherbe, a member of the French colonizing force in Algiers in the early 1830s and a recognized linguist, who rose up through the ranks in various African colonies and was the founder of regiments in West Africa, including the Senegal-based tirailleurs. Their artificially constructed military pidgin, Français Tirailleur, was a language modelled on the reduced grammar and lexicon of Lingua Franca. This book demonstrates the direct link between the two languages, as well as connections with other colonial pidgins in Asia that also derived to some extent from Lingua Franca. It will be of interest to students and scholars of language contact and language history, pidgins and creoles, and military and colonial history.

Whose name is hidden behind the anonymity of the key publication on Mediterranean Lingua Franca? What linguistic reality does the label 'Lingua Franca' conceal? These and related questions are explored in this new book on an enduringly important topic. The book presents a typologically informed analysis of Mediterranean Lingua Franca, as documented in the Dictionnaire de la langue franque ou petit mauresque, which provides an important historical snapshot of contact-induced language change. Based on a close study of the Dictionnaire in its historical and linguistic context, the book proposes hypotheses concerning its models, authorship and publication history, and examines the place of the Dictionnaire's Lingua Franca in the structural typological space between Romance languages, on the one hand, and pidgins, on the other. It refines our understanding of the typology of contact outcomes while at the same time opening unexpected new avenues for both linguistic and historical research.

Born in 1900 in French West Africa, Malian writer Amadou Hampâté Bâ was one of the towering figures in the literature of twentieth-century Francophone Africa. In Amkoullel, the Fula Boy, Bâ tells in striking detail the story of his youth, which was set against the aftermath of war between the Fula and Toucouleur peoples and the installation of French colonialism. A master storyteller, Bâ recounts pivotal moments of his life, and the lives of his powerful and large family, from his first encounter with the white commandant through the torturous imprisonment of his stepfather and to his forced attendance at French school. He also charts a larger story of life prior to and at the height of French colonialism: interethnic conflicts, the clash between colonial schools and Islamic education, and the central role indigenous African intermediaries and interpreters played in the functioning of the colonial administration. Engrossing and novelistic, Amkoullel, the Fula Boy is an unparalleled rendering of an individual and society under transition as they face the upheavals of colonialism.

With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa.

Writing a new page in the surprisingly long history of literary deceit, Impostors examines a series of literary hoaxes, deceptions that involved flagrant acts of cultural appropriation. This book looks at authors who posed as people they were not, in order to claim a different ethnic, class, or other identity. These writers were, in other words, literary usurpers and appropriators who trafficked in what Christopher L. Miller terms the “intercultural hoax.” In the United States, such hoaxes are familiar. Forrest Carter’s The Education of Little Tree and JT LeRoy’s Sarah are two infamous examples. Miller’s contribution is to study hoaxes beyond our borders, employing a comparative framework and bringing French and African identity hoaxes into dialogue with some of their better-known American counterparts. In France, multiculturalism is generally eschewed in favor of universalism, and there should thus be no identities (in the American sense) to steal. However, as Miller demonstrates, this too is a ruse: French universalism can only go so far and do so much. There is plenty of otherness to appropriate. This French and Francophone tradition of imposture has never received the study it deserves. Taking a novel approach to this understudied tradition, Impostors examines hoaxes in both countries, finding similar practices of deception and questions of harm.

Comment réagirent les populations civiles lors de la Première Guerre quand ils se trouvèrent, souvent pour la première fois, face à des noirs ? La France fut le seul pays belligérant à engager des soldats noirs sur le front européen au cours de la première guerre mondiale. L’idéal universaliste de la République coloniale souvent invoqué fut-il un simple alibi idéologique destiné à justifier l’impérialisme ? Comment réagirent les populations civiles qui se trouvèrent souvent pour la première fois face à des noirs en chair et en os ? Cet essai d'histoire mondiale présente quelles répercussions eut ce brassage de populations sur la hiérarchie des races en vigueur à l’époque en France, mais aussi dans l’Empire britannique, toujours attaché à la suprématie blanche, aux Etats-Unis, où régnait la ségrégation, ou dans l’Allemagne vaincue, qui ressentit l’occupation de la Rhénanie par des troupes noires comme la transgression ultime ? EXTRAIT Même s’ils étaient encore engagés exclusivement en Afrique, où d’autres puissances coloniales utilisaient aussi des troupes de couleur, l’attitude française à l’égard des Africains et des soldats africains était exceptionnelle. A l’étranger, et en particulier en Allemagne, on observait l’engagement de soldats africains avec méfiance et inquiétude. Tandis qu’en 1899 les Parisiens applaudissaient les tirailleurs sénégalais, Houston Stewart Chamberlain publiait en Allemagne le best-seller de l’année, La genèse du XIXe siècle, où il présentait l’histoire européenne comme une guerre des races et annonçait le déclin imminent de la race aryenne sous l’effet du métissage. Ce livre fit une telle impression sur l’empereur Guillaume II qu’il le fit distribuer dans son armée. Dans les autres capitales impériales, c’était surtout la séduction exercée par les soldats « de bois d’ébène » sur les femmes blanches qui avait irrité les hommes. Lors du couronnement de George V en 1910, les soldats noirs des armées coloniales ne purent assister à la cérémonie parce que, lors du couronnement de son père, huit ans plus tôt, les femmes britanniques « de toutes les classes » leur avaient réservé une attention particulière3. Dans le monde germanophone, les Africains exerçaient aussi une grande séduction sur « certaines femmes ». Un journaliste allemand rapporta en 1910, dans un article intitulé « Absence de conscience raciale », que des centaines de jeunes filles s’étaient bousculées à la gare, autour des tirailleurs sénégalais qui rentraient chez eux après une excursion à Berlin : « On assistait à des scènes pénibles où des jeunes filles se pressaient autour des noirs et leur faisaient des adieux passionnés. (...) Devant un comportement aussi irresponsable, nous ne pouvons qu’exprimer notre profonde tristesse et l’espoir qu’à la longue il sera possible de remplacer ces inclinations perverses par un état d’esprit sain et patriotique ». CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE Plus novatrice est l'approche globale de ce sujet que justifie pleinement le sous-titre de sa traduction française. Plongeant dans un fonds documentaire multinational, Dick van Galen Last rédige un essai d'histoire mondiale. Les comparaisons qu'il souligne sont étonnantes. - Yves Paris, Babelio À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Dick van Galen Last (1952-2010) a étudié l’histoire à l’Université d’Amsterdam et travaillait depuis 1977 au NIOD.
