40 ans après l'accession des pays africains à l'indépendance, et face aux problèmes nombreux que connaît l'Afrique noire contemporaine, il a paru intéressant d'évoquer la figure de Robert Delavignette, savant et politique. La grandeur de l'oeuvre et de la pensée de Delavignette trouve probablement son ressort dans la place qu'y tient la référence constante à l'universalisme républicain. Celui-ci le conduit à se montrer sceptique à l'égard de toute vision essentialiste de l'Afrique et à apposer au discours théorique de l'ethnologue la logique pratique du responsable politique qui constitue chez lui une véritable source de connaissance. Les différentes contributions contenues dans cet ouvrage dépassent le clivage entre l'Afrique coloniale et l'Afrique postcoloniale.

40 ans après l'accession des pays africains à l'indépendance, et face aux problèmes nombreux que connaît l'Afrique noire contemporaine, il a paru intéressant d'évoquer la figure de Robert Delavignette, savant et politique. D'abord administrateur responsable de cercle au Niger puis en Haute-Volta, il a été très vite appelé à des fonctions politiques : directeur de cabinet de Marius Moutet, ministre de la France d'Outre-Mer dans le gouvernement du Front Populaire, directeur de l'Ecole Coloniale puis de l'Ecole Nationale de la France d'Outre-Mer, avant de devenir directeur des Affaires politiques au ministère de la France d'Outre-Mer, de la libération jusqu'au début des années 50. Parallèlement à ces activités politiques, Robert Delavignette a réalisé une oeuvre littéraire importante, d'un ton très personnel, et publié de nombreux ouvrages et articles sur les finalités de la colonisation et de la décolonisation, développant en particulier un discours décalé aussi bien par rapport au thème de l'"oeuvre coloniale de la France" que par rapport à la thèse qui voit dans l'indépendance l'achèvement du Politique. La grandeur de l'œuvre et de la pensée de Delavignette trouve probablement son ressort dans la place qu'y tient la référence constante à l'universalisme républicain. Celui-ci le conduit à se montrer sceptique à l'égard de toute vision essentialiste de l'Afrique et à apposer au discours théorique de l'ethnologue la logique pratique du responsable politique qui constitue chez lui une véritable source de connaissance. Les différentes contributions contenues dans cet ouvrage dépassent le clivage entre l'Afrique coloniale et l'Afrique postcoloniale. Elles étudient les questions de l'administration et du développement des pays (hier colonisés, aujourd'hui indépendants) à partir de l'expérience d'un administrateur des colonies. Elles établissent une continuité entre l'œuvre littéraire coloniale et les oeuvres littéraires africaines. Elles invitent surtout à réfléchir aux conséquences de l'occultation d'une mémoire franco-africaine.

A new history of French social thought that connects postwar sociology to colonialism and empire In this provocative and original retelling of the history of French social thought, George Steinmetz places the history and development of modern French sociology in the context of the French empire after World War II. Connecting the rise of all the social sciences with efforts by France and other imperial powers to consolidate control over their crisis-ridden colonies, Steinmetz argues that colonial research represented a crucial core of the renascent academic discipline of sociology, especially between the late 1930s and the 1960s. Sociologists, who became favored partners of colonial governments, were asked to apply their expertise to such “social problems” as detribalization, urbanization, poverty, and labor migration. This colonial orientation permeated all the major subfields of sociological research, Steinmetz contends, and is at the center of the work of four influential scholars: Raymond Aron, Jacques Berque, Georges Balandier, and Pierre Bourdieu. In retelling this history, Steinmetz develops and deploys a new methodological approach that combines attention to broadly contextual factors, dynamics within the intellectual development of the social sciences and sociology in particular, and close readings of sociological texts. He moves gradually toward the postwar sociologists of colonialism and their writings, beginning with the most macroscopic contexts, which included the postwar “reoccupation” of the French empire and the turn to developmentalist policies and the resulting demand for new forms of social scientific expertise. After exploring the colonial engagement of researchers in sociology and neighboring fields before and after 1945, he turns to detailed examinations of the work of Aron, who created a sociology of empires; Berque, the leading historical sociologist of North Africa; Balandier, the founder of French Africanist sociology; and Bourdieu, whose renowned theoretical concepts were forged in war-torn, late-colonial Algeria.

These essays explain French identity as a fluid process rather than a category into which French citizens (and immigrants) are expected to fit. They offer examples drawn from an imperial history of France that show the power of the periphery to shape diverse and dynamic modern French identities at its centre.

This is a pioneering, multi-empire account of the relationship between the politics of imperial repression and the economic structures of European colonies between the two World Wars. Ranging across colonial Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, Martin Thomas explores the structure of local police forces, their involvement in colonial labour control and the containment of uprisings and dissent. His work sheds new light on broader trends in the direction and intent of colonial state repression. It shows that the management of colonial economies, particularly in crisis conditions, took precedence over individual imperial powers' particular methods of rule in determining the forms and functions of colonial police actions. The politics of colonial labour thus became central to police work, with the depression years marking a watershed not only in local economic conditions but also in the breakdown of the European colonial order more generally.

Despite the loss of the French Empire, France and its former colonies are still bound by a common historical past. With the new global promotion of la Francophonie, the relation between the various constituencies of the French-speaking regions of the world is reexamined and debated in this book, through the conversation between scholars dealing with diverse texts and contexts that present the colonial contact and its imprint. The book illustrates how, in France and in its other worlds, that contact, its repercussions, and its memory are lived and expressed today in a variety of textual representations. The historical contact between France and its other worlds has given birth to new kinds of cross-cultural expressions in the arts, in literature, and in aesthetics, establishing interrelations and generating appropriations from both sides of the Hexagon frontier, highlighting the fluidity and the permeability of its cultural borders. The book subtext tells that the frontier between France and its other worlds is no more an unshakable geographical, political, and cultural limit, but rather a line that has become mobile, fluctuating, and permeable, and across which currents, ideas, sensitivities, and creativity are expressed, bearing testimony to vitality and diversity but also to a cross-fertilization of cultures and societies (re) crossing or meeting at that line. Seen from this latter perspective, the book comes also as an interrogation of the inclusiveness or exclusiveness of the words francophone and Francophonie, and, at an academic level, a mutual exclusion of French and Francophone Studies.

Before the Vichy regime, there was ostensibly only one France and one form of colonialism for French West Africa (FWA). World War II and the division of France into two ideological camps, each asking for legitimacy from the colonized, opened for Africans numerous unprecedented options. French Colonialism Unmasked analyzes three dramatic years in the history of FWA, from 1940 to 1943, in which the Vichy regime tried to impose the ideology of the National Revolution in the region. Ruth Ginio shows how this was a watershed period in the history of the region by providing an in-depth examination of the Vichy colonial visions and practices in fwa. She describes the intriguing encounters between the colonial regime and African society along with the responses of different sectors in the African population to the Vichy policy. Although French Colonialism Unmasked focuses on one region within the French Empire, it has relevance to French colonial history in general by providing one of the missing pieces in research on Vichy colonialism. Ruth Ginio is a research fellow at the Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the author of articles in International Journal of African Historical Studies, Revue d'histoire moderne et contemporaine, Cahiers d'etudes africaines, and several other journals.

The Killer Trail tells the tale of one of the most notorious atrocities to take place during the European 'scramble for Africa', a real life story of insane violence in the heart of an exotic continent that eerily prefigures fictional accounts such as The Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now. The Voulet-Chanoine mission left Dakar in 1898 for the centre of Africa and the region of Lake Chad with the aim of establishing effective borders between the French and British empires while 'pacifying' a notoriously belligerent region. Wreaking havoc as it went along, the mission degenerated into an extraordinary display of colonial violence and cruelty, leaving a trail of pillage, murder, and enslavement of the local inhabitants in its wake. When the story of its outrages reached Paris in 1899 there was a public uproar and a second mission was dispatched to investigate. Eventually, on July 14 1899, the two missions met and confronted each other in a dramatic shootout, which led Voulet and Chanoine to declare their independence from France and their desire to establish an African kingdom under their own rule. But their mad dreams of kingship were soon cut short when they fell prey to a mutiny among the African soldiers under their command in which they were both killed. The whole bizarre tale of Voulet and Chanoine's mission sharply divided opinion back home in France but was eventually explained away as the action of two deranged minds. Yet, as Bertrand Taithe shows, it was not simply a tale of individual insanity. In many ways, the actions of Voulet and Chanoine and their men simply took the violence of European colonialism to a logical extreme, while the way in which the whole affair was soon forgotten is highly revealing of western attitudes to imperial excess in Africa and elsewhere.
