  • MILLER, CHRISTOPHER L. the French Atlantic Triangle: Literature and Culture of the Slave Trade
    Universidade Estadual de Goiás Building the way - Revista do Curso de Letras da UnU-Itapuranga THERE ARE NO SLAVES IN FRANCE!?! MILLER, CHRISTOPHER L. The French Atlantic Triangle: Literature and Culture of the Slave Trade. Durham & London: Duke University Press, 2010, 572 p. ISBN: 9780822341512. Thomas Bonnici Departamento de Letras / Universidade Estadual de Maringá The history of the 20 th century has shown how difficult it is for a nation to accept its past and to come to terms with shameful and degrading events practiced in centuries gone by. If even mere apologies are not easily wrenched from post-war Spain and Germany, Australia and New Zealand and the treatment of the Aborigines and Maoris, Latin America and its dictatorship periods, South Africa and its Apartheid policies, just to mention a few, can one imagine the healing processes required for more in-depth reconciliation? More than two hundred years had to pass so that whole nations would grapple with their slave-haunted history. London, Bristol, Birmingham and other British cities are only now accepting their long-term involvement with slavery, the slave trade, transatlantic economy, plantation system, enrichment on slave-produced goods. And Africa has still a lot of research to undertake to understand its almost endemic participation in different slave trades and in the selling of its children to Europeans. If Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and Brazil are highly touchy on what they consider a taboo subject, how does France fare in the fray with more than one million Africans in 3,649 recorded trans-Atlantic voyages sent to its Caribbean colonies of Martinique (1635), Guadeloupe (1635), Guyane (1663) and Saint-Domingue / Haiti (1697) during from the 17 th to the early 19 th centuries? Christopher Miller, professor of African-American Studies and French at Yale University, provides readers interested in the history of slavery within the context of literature with a breakthrough book.

The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus.

HISTORICAL CALENDARS, COMMEMORATIVE PROCESSIONS AND THE RECOLLECTION OF THE WARS OF RELIGION DURING THE ANCIEN RÉGIME PHILIP BENEDICT * Abstract — In the centuries that followed the Edict of Nantes, a number of texts and rituals preserved partisan historical recollections of episodes from the Wars of Religion. One important Huguenot ‘ site of memory ’ was the historical calendar. The calendars published between 1590 and 1685 displayed a particular concern with the Wars of Religion, recalling events that illustrated Protestant victimization and Catholic sedition. One important Catholic site of memory was the commemorative procession. Ten or more cities staged annual processions throughout the ancien régime thanking God for delivering them from the violent, sacrilegious Huguenots during the civil wars. If, shortly after the Fronde, you happened to purchase at the temple of Charenton a 1652 edition of the Psalms of David published by Pierre Des-Hayes, you also received at the front of the book a twelve-page historical calendar listing 127 noteworthy events that took place on selected days of the year. 1 Seven of the entries in this calendar came from sacred history and told you such dates as when the tablets of the Law were handed down on Mount Sinai (5 June) or when John the Baptist received the ambassador sent from Jerusalem mentioned in John 1.19 (1 January).

Who was Abraham Fabert, and why should an account of him be written in English ? The biography now offered to the public had this natural origin. Many years ago, while travelling for rest and recre- ation, the author picked up at an Edinburgh book-stall a copy of the Vie de Fahert par le Pere Barre, and read it for amusement. Until then he knew no more of Fabert than this—that he was a Marshal of France whose statue he had seen at Metz, that his name figures in the Appendix to Voltaire's Steele de Louis XIV., and that it was mentioned here and there by other historians. The two little brown volumes of the Canon of St. Genevieve, however, disclosed the character of a man, so difteront in many respects from that of the French soldiers of his time, that the author was led to push his inquiries farther and deeper ; and thus he came to admire, and felt constrained to write out his estimate of the adventures, attainments, and high qualities of this Fabert.

Bouchard FAMILY STRUCTURE AND FAMILY CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG THE ARISTOCRACY IN THE NINTH TO ELEVENTH CENTURIES* There can be no question that the period from the ninth to eleventh centuries in westem Europe was one of political upheaval and change for the aristocracy. Charlemagne’s empire was invaded, fought over, divided into new kingdoms and principalities. Fief-holding, vassalage, and castles first became widespread. Even the sorts of men who wielded power changed as new lineages first of counts and then of castellans appeared and married into previously established lines1. This political change, it is generally agreed, was accompanied by some sort of change in the family structure of the aristocracy, but there has been a good deal of debate over exactly what this change entailed. In this paper, I shall reexamine the question of noble family structure in this period, trying first to define some of the parameters of the discussion and then making suggestions on the nature of the changes in family consciousness, suggestions quite different from the conclusions many have drawn in the last twenty-five years. I shall do so using concrete examples drawn from three different lineages or family groups.
