"Dans le cadre de son protectorat sur le Cambodge, la France entreprend de modifier l'organisation politique, sociale, économique du royaume khmer afin de le "moderniser." Elle s'appuie alors sur les concepts de "mission civilisatrice" et de "mise en valeur". Inscrite à l'échelle de la province cambodgienne de Kampong Thom, cette étude cherche en quoi près d'un siècle de présence française a changé la vie de la masse des Cambodgiens, les habitants des campagnes, et fait évoluer les structures de la société entre le milieu du x lx' siècle et l'indépendance en 1953. Elle s'appuie sur les abondantes sources coloniales françaises, confrontées aux sources khmères, afin que le point de vue des Cambodgiens soit pleinement pris en compte. Les problèmes traités couvrent la relation des habitants à leur roi et à l'État, le renforcement de l'intégration du Cambodge à l'économie-monde, l'évolution des productions agricoles et artisanales, les conséquences environnementales de la colonisation, l'abolition de l'esclavage et ses conséquences, les relations entre hommes et femmes, les réformes du bouddhisme theravada, l'introduction de la médecine et de l'école occidentales, les stratégies des élites rurales pour perdurer, la vie quotidienne... Sur le temps long, la terre de Kampong Svay devenue province de Kampong Thom est traversée par des changements profonds et des permanences que Mathieu Guérin parvient à mettre en lumière."--Page 4 of cover.

"The US Navy charged Black sailors with rioting and assaults on White sailors in an incident referred to as a race riot, while totally ignoring violent unprovoked assaults committed by White sailors and Marines. Author Marv Truhe was a Navy JAG defense lawyer seeking justice for the accused Black sailors. Truhe possesses one of the most complete collections, personal or institutional, of original source documents of the Kitty Hawk incident and its legal aftermath--trial transcripts, investigation reports, hundreds of sworn statements and medical reports, federal court pleadings, and case files and witness interviews. How could virtually all official and unofficial accounts of the incident have placed blame for the incident solely on twenty-three Black sailors? How could they have been subjected to blatant racial injustices without their story being told until now?"-- Provided by publisher

America's Arab Nationalists focuses in on the relationship between Arab nationalists and Americans in the struggle for independence in an era when idealistic Americans could see the Arab nationalist struggle as an expression of their own values. In the first three decades of the twentieth century (from the 1908 Ottoman revolution to the rise of Hitler), important and influential Americans, including members of the small Arab-American community, intellectually, politically and financially participated in the construction of Arab nationalism. This book tells the story of a diverse group of people whose contributions are largely unknown to the American public. The role Americans played in the development of Arab nationalism has been largely unexplored by historians, making this an important and original contribution to scholarship. This volume is of great interest to students and academics in the field, though the narrative style is accessible to anoyone interested in Arab nationalism, the conflict between Zionists and Palestinians, and the United States' relationship with the Arab world.

"This volume presents a collection of studies by international experts on various aspects of ancient Israel's society, economy, religion, language, culture, and history, synthesising archaeological remains and integrating them with discussions of ancient Near Eastern and biblical texts. Driven by theoretically and methodologically informed discussions of the archaeology of the Iron Age Levant, the 47 chapters in The Ancient Israelite World provide foundational, accessible, and detailed studies in their respective topics. The volume considers the history of interpretation of ancient Israel, studies on various aspects of ancient Israel's society and history, and avenues for present and future approaches to the ancient Israelite world. Accompanied by over 150 maps and figures, it allows the reader to gain an understanding of key issues that archaeologists, historians, and biblical scholars have faced and are currently facing as they attempt to better understand ancient Israelite society. The Ancient Israelite World is an essential reference work for students and scholars of ancient Israel and its history, culture, and society, whether they are historians, archaeologists or biblical scholars"-- Provided by publisher

Anglo-Chinese Encounters Before the Opium War: A Tale of Two Empires Over Two Centuries studies the fascinating encounters between the two historic empires from Queen Elizabeth I's first letter to the Ming Emperor Wanli in 1583, to Lord Palmerston's letter to the Minister of China in 1840. Starting with Queen Elizabeth I's letter to the Chinese Emperor and ending with the letter from Lord Palmerston to the Minister of China just before the Opium War, this book explores the long journey in between from cultural diplomacy to gunboat diplomacy. It interweaves the most known diplomatic efforts at the official level with the much unknown intellectual interactions at the people-to-people level, from missionaries to scholars, from merchants to travelers and from artists to scientists. This book adopts a novel "mirror" approach by pairing and comparing people, texts, commodities, artworks, architecture, ideologies, operating systems and world views of the two empires. Using letters, gifts and traded goods as fulcrums, and by adopting these unique lenses, it puts China into the world history narratives to contextualise Anglo-Chinese relations, thus providing a fresh analysis of the surviving evidence. Xin Liu casts a new light on understanding the Sino-centric and Anglo-centric world views in driving the complex relations between the two empires, and the reversals of power shifts that are still unfolding today. The book is not intended for specialists in history, but a general audience wishing to learn more about China's historical engagement with the world.

"Un matin brumeux de janvier 2011, Samuel Forey, journaliste indépendant à la recherche du grand soir, quitte Paris et se précipite vers l'Égypte : Le Caire s'est embrasé et des milliers de révoltés sont descendus dans la rue. S'ensuit une odyssée de six années au Moyen-Orient, au cœur du Caire tumultueux, traquant des rebelles dans le labyrinthe de roche et de sable du Sinaï, s'initiant au reportage de guerre à Alep ou Gaza, partageant le quotidien des combattants kurdes en Syrie ou des soldats irakiens dans le chaudron de Mossoul, la plus importante bataille urbaine depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale - au contact de l'humanité dans son extrême, pour le pire comme pour le meilleur. Mais ce périple est aussi un cheminement intérieur. Profondément marqué par la perte précoce de ses parents, Samuel Forey fait l'apprentissage du deuil et de la mort. Quête du père, quête de soi, quête de sens, jusqu'au bout, là où le voyage se termine et le voile se déchire, quelque part dans l'explosion d'une mine, lors de la bataille de Mossoul. Tout à la fois carnet de route, journal de guerre et récit initiatique, magnifiquement écrit, Les Aurores incertaines nous emmènent au cœur des tourments de ce début de siècle."--Page 4 of cover.

"In 1998, the Belitung, a ninth-century western Indian Ocean-style vessel, was discovered in Indonesian waters. Onboard was a full cargo load, likely intended for the Middle Eastern market, of over 60,000 Chinese Tang-dynasty ceramics, gold, and other precious objects. It is one of the most significant shipwreck discoveries of recent times, revealing the global scale of ancient commercial endeavors and the centrality of the ocean within the Silk Road story. But this shipwreck also has a modern tale to tell, of how nation-states appropriate the remnants of the past for their own purposes, and of the international debates about who owns--and is responsible for--shared heritage. The commercial salvage of objects from the Belitung, and their subsequent sale to Singapore, contravened the principles of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage and prompted international condemnation. The resulting controversy continues to reverberate in academic and curatorial circles. Major museums refused to host international traveling exhibitions of the collection, and some archaeologists announced they would rather see the objects thrown back in the sea than ever go on display. Shipwrecks are anchored in the public imagination, their stories of treasure and tragedy told in museums, cinema, and song. At the same time, they are sites of scholarly inquiry, a means by which maritime archaeologists interrogate the past through its material remains. Every shipwreck is an accidental time capsule, replete with the sunken stories of those on board, of the personal and commercial objects that went down with the vessel, and of an unfinished journey. In this moving and thought-provoking reflection of underwater cultural heritage management, Natali Pearson reveals valuable new information about the Belitung salvage, obtained firsthand from the salvagers, and the intricacies in the many conflicts and relationships that developed. In tracing the Belitung's lives and afterlives, this book shifts our thinking about shipwrecks beyond popular tropes of romance, pirates, and treasure, and toward an understanding of how the relationships between sites, objects, and people shape the stories we tell of the past in the present"-- Provided by publisher.
