Les Hors-la-loi de l'Atlantique. Pirates, mutins et flibustiers by Marcus Rediker Pdf

Marcus Rediker est le grand historien des hors-la-loi de l'Atlantique. Il explore ici le monde fascinant de l'aventure maritime du point de vue des pirates, flibustiers, travailleurs forcés en révolte, esclaves marrons, fuyards et autres mutins, qui ont défié l'autorité depuis le pont inférieur des navires. Il nous fait entrer dans leur univers de récits et de contes de marins, retrouver la signification de leurs tatouages, comprendre les formes d'organisation égalitaire au sein de la piraterie et les rebellions de différentes catégories de travailleurs de la mer asservis – européens et africains – de ces " équipages bigarrés ", pénétrés d'esprit révolutionnaire et défendant leur liberté par le feu et par les armes. Il montre à quel point, entre le xviie et début du xixe siècle, ces hommes ont façonné l'histoire du monde contemporain – trop longtemps focalisée sur le national, le rôle des élites politiques et l'histoire " terrestre ". Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Aurélien Blanchard. Marcus Rediker est professeur d'histoire atlantique à l'université de Pittsburg. Historien, écrivain et militant des droits de l'homme, il est spécialiste de l'histoire maritime et notamment de l'Atlantique. Il a publié neuf livres, parmi lesquels À bord du négrier. Une histoire atlantique de la traite (Seuil, 2013, George Washington Book Prize) et Les Révoltés de l'Amistad. Une odyssée atlantique (Seuil, 2015).

Outlaws of the Atlantic by Marcus Rediker Pdf

This maritime history "from below" exposes the history-making power of common sailors, slaves, pirates, and other outlaws at sea in the era of the tall ship. In Outlaws of the Atlantic, award-winning historian Marcus Rediker turns maritime history upside down. He explores the dramatic world of maritime adventure, not from the perspective of admirals, merchants, and nation-states but from the viewpoint of commoners—sailors, slaves, indentured servants, pirates, and other outlaws from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. Bringing together their seafaring experiences for the first time, Outlaws of the Atlantic is an unexpected and compelling peoples’ history of the “age of sail.” With his signature bottom-up approach and insight, Rediker reveals how the “motley”—that is, multiethnic—crews were a driving force behind the American Revolution; that pirates, enslaved Africans, and other outlaws worked together to subvert capitalism; and that, in the era of the tall ship, outlaws challenged authority from below deck. By bringing these marginal seafaring characters into the limelight, Rediker shows how maritime actors have shaped history that many have long regarded as national and landed. And by casting these rebels by sea as cosmopolitan workers of the world, he reminds us that to understand the rise of capitalism, globalization, and the formation of race and class, we must look to the sea.

New Perspectives on the Black Atlantic by Bénédicte Ledent,Pilar Cuder Domínguez Pdf

This collection of essays attempts to expand the notion of the «Black Atlantic» beyond its original racial, geographical, linguistic and cultural borders while acknowledging its remarkable ability to disturb established historical truths and to go beyond traditional dichotomies, thereby providing an essential tool for cross-cultural understanding. It is divided into four sections, each of them dealing with a different approach to the question of the «Black Atlantic». «Definitions» touches on the various limitations of Gilroy's original concept. «Readings» focuses on how the «Black Atlantic» can be productively used in readings of certain literary texts. «Practices» shifts towards the practical applications of the concept in order to explore the impact it has had on academic disciplines and examine to what extent it may have altered their epistemology and working procedures. Finally, «Dialogues» engages with the «Black Atlantic» from the perspectives of two creative writers whose work includes transatlantic themes and characters.

Galula in Algeria by Grégor Mathias Pdf

This groundbreaking investigation uncovers serious mismatches between David Galula's counterinsurgency practice in Algeria and his counterinsurgency theory—the foundation of current U.S. counterinsurgency doctrine in Iraq and Afghanistan. Given the centrality of David Galula's theory to U.S. Counterinsurgency (COIN) doctrine in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is striking that there has been no independent evaluation of Galula's recollection of his COIN operations in Algeria. Galula in Algeria: Counterinsurgency Practice versus Theory delivers just such an analysis, exploring the colonial French counter-insurrectionary theoretical milieu of which Galula's COIN theory was a part, the influence of Galula's theory on U.S. COIN doctrine, and the current views of Galula's theory in France and other NATO countries. French defense researcher Grégor Mathias compares each of the eight steps of Galula's theory set out in Counterinsurgency Warfare against his practice of them as described in his writings and now, for the first time, against the SAS archives and those of Galula's infantry company and battalion. The study shows that Galula systematically inflated his operational successes to match his theoretical scheme and that he left problems unresolved, causing his work to unravel quickly after he left his command. Mathias concludes that, however heuristically fruitful Galula's theory might prove for U.S. COIN doctrine, it must be interpreted and implemented under the caveat that it was not successfully field-tested by its author. .
