The history of France has been eventful and dramatic, exciting and complex. By looking at the most outstanding moments in the long process of evolution which has shaped national identity, this book attempts to highlight the main traits that have made the country what it is today. It takes a look at the questions, controversies and uncertainties of the past. France, however, could not exist without the French people, once the subjects of a monarch, now citizens of the French Republic, and it is their life which is described here. History on this scale necessarily turns the spotlight on the men and women responsible for taking the decisions that govern and guide their fellow-citizens. They are the men and women who have created or been subjected to events, people who have supported or instigated collective movements. It also seemed appropriate to set France in its place within Europe and the rest of the world, to see how other nationalities considered, and continue to consider, the country. Lucien Bély was born in Lyon in 1955. He studied in Ecole normale supérieure and obtained the agrégation d'histoire and a thèse d'Etat. He is now Professor at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Le gascon ne serait pas ce qu'il est - c'est-à-dire une langue très spécifique de l'ensemble occitano-roman - s'il n'avait été confronté à la langue pré-latine, non-celte pour tout dire, proche de la langue basque actuelle, de l'Aquitaine. Par cet ouvrage, Halip Lartigue ouvre quelques portes sur les origines du gascon, sa spécificité, ses parentés avec le basque et donne les véritables limites de la langue gasconne, définies grâce à la minutieuse enquête menée par Edouard Bourciez, en 1894 et restée inédite jusqu'à ce jour.

Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une collaboration entre la Société française d'études écossaises et le laboratoire Langues, Littératures et Civilisations de l'Arc Atlantique (E.A 1925) de l'Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour. Les auteurs évoquent l'influence du patrimoine culturel complexe, le rayonnement de la société civile (religion, philosophie, droit, politique) ainsi que du monde militaire et commercial de l'Ecosse, en Europe et aux Amériques, à partir du XVIe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. (Articles en français et en anglais).

The study of history in Cameroon has most of the time been national and political. In our school textbooks and university courses, there is hardly an emphasis on local contents mastery. This has had implications for the articulation of grassroots research and local contents. Cameroon: Historical Perspectives on Borders, Conflicts, Peace and Governance is an authoritative volume which draws its place in Cameroons historiography from the originality of the historical evidence presented and from the subaltern perspectives adopted. The book, in the majority speaks to local history. It not only draws on local contents but captures the role of local agents and phenomena in historical causation. Topics include land and boundary/border conflicts, indigenous conflict resolution, local players in historical construction, peace building, national questions and identity issues. University lecturers, teachers, researchers and Postgraduate students would find the contents most illuminating while those preparing to undertake research would find it very inspirational.
We, the Etchemins/Amaliseet/Maliseet/Wolastoqiyik, were the first, along with the Montagnais/Innu and the Algonquin/Anishinabe, to sign treaties of alliance with the French between 1603 and 1605. These treaties originated in the French policy of making and maintaining alliances with the Indigenous Peoples in New France to claim control over the territory, and to stimulate immigration, trade, and the expansion of the colony. [...] In 1987, our Nation was reborn. The federal and provincial governments recognized our Nation (in 1987 and 1989, respectively), after it had been scattered and forgotten following the loss of the Viger lands in 1869. Thanks to the sustained work of families and community leaders, our resurgence began with the creation of the Maliseet of Viger First Nation government. In 2019, the Nation adopted a more representative name in its own language: Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation.
This book focuses on the socio-political evolution of our members from their first contacts with Europeans until today. It demonstrates the resilience of our Nation in the time since the occupation of our ancestral territory. Today, access to our territory, cultural reappropriation, and the development of economic and political autonomy are the challenges that must be met to ensure the continuity of our Nation for generations to come... Knowing our history, making it accessible to our members and to the non-Indigenous population, is an important step toward us being recognized.
Excerpt from the preface: Kévin Morais, Chief Councillor, Culture, Education, Health and Finance (2016-2020), Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation
Street names are seen as repositories of collective representations from different historical periods. By using the interdisciplinary approach of the cultural history, as meeting point for history, anthropology, geography, linguistics, and literary history, it is possible to collect echoes from long-forgotten times, and to link the current urban structure of Bucharest with the old shape of the city. The urban nomenclature of old streets has a symbolic dimension embedded in the urban imaginary.
This lively guide to Quebec history tells the fascinating story of the settlement of the St. Lawrence River Valley over nearly 500 years. But it also tells of the Montreal and Quebec-based explorers and traders who travelled, mapped, and inhabited most of North America, and embrothered the peoples they met.
Combining vast research and great story telling, Jacques Lacoursière and Robin Philpot connect everyday life to the events that emerged as historical turning points in the life of a people. They thus shedding new light on Quebec's 450-year history-and the historical forces that lie behind its two recent efforts to gain independence.
For the first time, Jacques Parizeau shares his views on Quebec's recent history and its future. As chief economics advisor to Quebec premiers in the 1960s, Jacques Parizeau was instrumental in bringing about Quebe's Quiet Revolution. As René Lévesque's Finance Minister from 1976 through 1984, he showed that sovereigntists could govern Quebec and ensure economic viability. As Premier, he brought Quebec close to sovereignty in the 1995 referendum. In 2010, he still represents an idea shared by millions in Quebec. Drawing on his rich experience in public service and teaching, Jacques Parizeau explains how the idea of an independent Quebec took root and evolved. He examines Quebec's current economic, political, social and cultural situation, and reviews options for future development. No stones are left unturned. Why become independent? What is the role of the State and how should it be administered in a globalized economy. What are the challenges in the 21st century? What about the financial crisis? And the environment? And above all what challenges face Quebec sovereigntists and their English Canadian counterparts?
Recipient of the 2005 Governor General's Literary Award in non-fiction, Quand la nation débordait les frontières is considered the most comprehensive analysis of Lionel Groulx's work and vision as an intellectual leader of a nationalist school that extended well beyond the borders of Québec.For over five decades, historians and intellectuals have defined the nationalist discourse primarily in territorial terms. In this regard, Groulx has been portrayed-more often than not-as the architect of Québecois nationalism. Translated by Ferdinanda Van Gennip, A Nation Beyond Borders will continue to spark debate on Groulx's description of the parameters of the French-Canadian nation. Highlighting the often neglected role of French-Canadian minorities in his thought, this book presents the Canon as an uncompromising advocate of solidarity between all French-Canadian communities.

Since the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, much scholarly work has been done on "thinking China". A result has been the most contradictory representations which attempt to reconcile "philosophical China" with "Oriental despotism", or an eternal aesthetic and consensual China with a more unpredictable and disturbing vision of the country. To break free of these tenacious clichés, Anne Cheng proposes that we listen carefully to what Chinese authors actually have to say. After all, is China not herself able to think and conceive of her own reality?
Esta obra se propone superar la rígida división que suelen establecer los estudios americanistas entre las sociedades andinas y las sociedades de la selva amazónica. En el primer tomo, F. M. Renard- Caseritz y Th. Saignes analizan las relaciones de los grupos ubicados en las estribaciones orientales de los Andes, primero con los Incas y después con los Españoles, entre el siglo XV y el XVII. En el segundo tomo A.C. Taylor - Descola estudia la evolución de las sociedades del Este de Los Andes al Sur del Ecuador y Norte del Perú (especialmente los grupos jívaros) a lo largo de la misma época histórica.
Français:
Peace For Africa/Paix Pour l'Afrique est une plaidoirie pour la paix en Afrique, qui passe par le respect de l'Africain, par la dignité, par le respect des droits de l'Homme et par le respect de la nature. La traite négrière, la colonisation, le néo-colonialisme, l'apartheid, les génocides et les guerres occasionnés en Afrique ont privé les Africains de leur dignité, de leur droit à la vie. Des hommes et des femmes de valeur comme P. Lumumba, N. Mandela, W. Maathai, Dr. Mukwenge et bien d'autres, ont dit non à l'oppression, non à la réification de l'Afrique car c'est une offense au Créateur qui a fait l'Homme à son image. Le respect de la dignité de l'Homme africain est source de paix en Afrique.
English:
Peace For Africa/Paix Pour l'Afrique is an advocacy group for peace in Africa. Africans deserve respect, as peace comes to Africa through the respect of African dignity, the respect of human rights and the respect of Nature. The African slave trade, colonization, neo-colonialism, apartheid, genocide and wars that are occasioned in Africa undermined the African human dignity and their rights to live. Valuable men and women like P. Lumumba, N. Mandela, Dr. Mukwenge, W. Maathai and many others said no to oppression, no to Africa's reification because it is an offense to the Creator, who made human beings in his image. The respect of the African human dignity is a source for peace in Africa.
Venant des cinq continents, d'éminents intellectuels présentent la ville de Tombouctou, en français, en anglais et en arabe.

El actual debate sobre el Federalismo que agita los rangos del partido socialista, es un síntoma real de la enfermedad española y debería ser legítimamente atendido por los representantes del pueblo, a pesar de que en apariencia existan otros problemas mucho más acuciantes como la crisis o el desempleo. Cuba a lo largo de su historia "independiente" ha experimentado todas las experiencias políticas posibles. El socialismo ha terminado por arruinar la isla completamente. España y el Caribe están en una encrucijada histórica. El proyecto federal de Estados Españoles, incluyendo el Caribe no es un desvarío, sino una necesidad urgente y vital para todos los hispanos.
Gracias a los aportes de destacados especialistas, tanto europeos como americanos del Norte y del Sur, este libro plural explora las diferentes dimensiones del proceso revolucionario que, en los albores del siglo xix, ha llevado a las regiones americanas del Imperio español a declarar su independencia, revelando el dinamismo y la riqueza de la renovación historiográfica logrados sobre este objeto, todavía mal conocido. Mediante un diálogo permanente, se abordan las distintas temporalidades del proceso, los lenguajes tanto políticos como religiosos y constitucionales, la diversidad de los actores y de sus prácticas, así como los vínculos de estas revoluciones con Europa y Estados Unidos. Por tanto, la historia presentada a través de estas páginas difiere notablemente de la forjada por los primeros historiadores latinoamericanos, preocupados ante todo por transmitir a la posteridad un gran relato liberal y nacional. El lector encontrará en este volumen las herramientas necesarias para familiarizarse con estas revoluciones tildadas de exóticas y, sin embargo, tan cercanas a nosotros.
¿Pertenece la historia de al-Andalus a la historia de España? ¿Qué relaciones cabe establecer entre ellas? Una fuerte corriente historiográfica puso el acento, en el siglo xx, en la hispanización de al-Andalus, convertido así en «España musulmana» y habitado por españoles que, por azares de la historia, eran musulmanes. En tiempos más recientes, esa tradición, de marcado carácter esencialista, se ha visto superada por interpretaciones que sitúan al-Andalus en un contexto más definido por elementos magrebíes y orientales que por los propiamente hispánicos. En este libro se plantea una revisión de la historiografía española, francesa y portuguesa sobre la historia de al-Andalus, desde una mirada crítica que abarca otros temas igualmente centrales para la comprensión de un fenómeno histórico que ha generado y continúa generando polémica. En torno a la reivindicación o la repulsa de lo andalusí, se han creado paradigmas culturales de gran potencia, se han marcado líneas divisorias y áreas de contacto o de conflicto. Todo ello no puede eliminarse de un plumazo o contemplarse con una mirada desdeñosa: forma parte de un pasado que todavía hoy solivianta a muchos, mientras que atrae a otros, lo que quiere decir que su actualidad sigue vigente.
Entièrement en occitan, cet ouvrage de Robert Lafont offre une vision globale, concise et accessible de l'histoire de l'Occitanie au coeur des grands courants européens.
Une histoire de l'Occitanie, de la préhistoire à nos jours, en langue d'oc, qui met en évidence les poussées géopolitiques, les mélanges et les influences qui ont construit et traversé cette région frontalière carrefour de l'Europe.
In the Renaissance exile writing is not limited to the Ovidian elegiac discourse of exile, whether the exile in question be political or religious, fictional, or intellectual. Linked to a broader tradition of reflection (Stoic, Platonic, Christian or Jewish) upon exile, such writing is sometimes indistinguishable from the philosophical or religious discourse of the theme of homo viator, whilst overlapping with the scientific, historical or fictional discourses of travel. It also encompasses a variety of literary or para-literary forms: travel (or pilgrimage) accounts; allegories, or allegorical commentaries; philosophical or satirical dialogues; lyric or didactic poetry. Falling into three parts (I. "Travel, Writing, Identity & Exile", II. "Homo Viator", III. "Homo Viator: Homo Scribens"), this original, erudite study first proposes (I.) a typology of exile, based on the writings of Petrarch, Marot and Joannes Sambucus (Zsámboky) (plus Horace, Dante, Rabelais, Du Bellay and Montaigne) and on the notion of libertas exilii, then (II.) examines the allegorical tradition of the "Journey of Life" (culminating in the ekphrastic Tabula Cebetis), and finally (III.), in the light of these, presents the exiliar writings of Petrus Alcyonius (the author of a dialogue on exile), two Portuguese Marranos, Diogo Pires and Amatus Lusitanus, and Joachim Du Bellay, crowned by those of the parallel intellectual exiles of the traveller Pierre Belon and of the satirist Ortensio Landi.
À travers son oeuvre littéraire, historique et politique, Safvet-beg Basagi´c (1870-1934) a formulé les grandes problématiques du nationalisme bosno-musulman, alors que sa communauté reculait devant les exigences de modernisation qu'imposait la présence austro-hongroise depuis le Congrès de Berlin de 1878. Inspiré par les mouvements nationaux ottoman, croate et serbe du XIXe siècle, il a voulu établir une identité distincte de celles que fondaient ces mouvements en affirmant la spécificité religieuse et culturelle de ses coreligionnaires et compatriotes. Ces engagements étaient étroitement liés à la question agraire en Bosnie-Herzégovine : Basagi´c a oeuvré en conservateur, soulignant que la propriété de la terre était un droit historique du beylicat local, auquel il appartenait. De son vivant, il n'a pas joui de l'audience qu'il aurait espérée ; mais l'essentiel de ses thèses, malgré leur peu de sérieux scientifique, a fait florès aujourd'hui.
