IMAGES OF DECOLONIZATION IMAGES DE LA DECOLONISATION With an Introduction by/Avec une introduction de Cornelius CROWLEY Edited by/Sous la direction de Geetha GANAPATHY-DORE & Michel OLINGA Academic committee: Cornelius Crowley, Michel Naumann, Geetha Ganapathy-Doré, Michel Olinga SARI (Société d’activités et de recherches sur le monde indien) Cergy-Pontoise, Mai 2013. This collected anthology of essays on the Images of Decolonization follows in the footsteps of an earlier SARI publication on Changing Images of India and Africa (Paris: L’Harmattan, 2011). It approaches the idea of decolonization from the point of view of the politics of representation with articles on the gaze of colonial and postcolonial photographers, the fantasized images of indigenous women (Pocahontas in the USA and La Malinche in Mexico) and the image of the soldiers during the First World War in the illustrated French press. Decolonization in the African continent is explored through the iconic figure of the Ghanaian leader N’Krumah, the MAU MAU uprising in Kenya and literatures in the French language, especially in Mauritius and the Portuguese language, with a focus on Mia Couto in Mozambique. The discriminatory caste system in India and class struggles in Ireland –two countries which were marked by the story of partition at the end of empire –are interwoven through the films of Ritwik Ghatak and Ken Loach. Finally, Britain’s unique democratic tradition is reviewed through the constitutional and institutional developments in contemporary Ireland. Ce recueil d’essais sur les Images de la décolonisation se situe dans le sillage d’un ouvrage précédent publié sous l’égide de la SARI sur les Images changeantes de l’Inde et de l’Afrique (L’Harmattan, 2011). Il aborde l’idée de la décolonisation du point de vue de la politique de la représentation avec des contributions sur le regard des photographes coloniaux et postcoloniaux, sur les images fantasmées des femmes indigènes (Pocahontas aux USA et La Malinche au Mexique) et sur l’image des soldats durant la Première guerre mondiale dans la presse illustrée française. L’ouvrage explore la décolonisation du continent africain à travers la figure iconique du leader ghanéen N’Krumah, la révolte des MAU MAU au Kenya et les littératures francophones, notamment celle de l’Ile Maurice ainsi que l’écriture en langue portugaise de Mia Couto au Mozambique. Le système discriminatoire des castes en Inde et la lutte des classes en Irlande – deux pays marqués par le récit de la partition à la fin de l’empire - sont entremêlés grâce à l’étude des films de Ritwik Ghatak et de Ken Loach. Enfin, la tradition démocratique propre à la Grande- Bretagne est revue à travers l’évolution constitutionnelle et institutionnelle de l’Irlande contemporaine. The opinions expressed belong to the authors of different articles.

  • Français Tirailleur Pidgin — a Corpus Study
    Français Tirailleur Pidgin —acorpusstudy Hedvig Skirgård Department of Linguistics, Stockholm Univeristy Thesis submitted for Master of Arts in Linguistics (30 HE credits) Spring 2013 Supervisor: Mikael Parkvall Examiner: Henrik Liljegren Expert reviewer: Bernhard Wälchli Abstract Swedish Français Tirailleur (FT) är ett pidginspråk som talades av västafrikanska sol- dater och deras vita officerare i den franska kolonialarmen cirka 1857-1954. Den här uppsatser beskriver denna språkvatietet utifrån ett korpus som består av de doku- menterade yttranden som hittills hittats. Studien visar bland annat att standard negation uttrycks med en pre-verbal partikel (pas ), ja/nej-frågor uttryckts främst genom intonation, genussystemet är inte produktivt, det finns ingen skillnad mellan subjekt och objekt i pronomensystemet och attributiv ägande uttrycks med possessiva pronomen, juxtaposition eller prepositioner. Den standardiserade type-token-ration är 26%, vidare forskning om ordförråd i pidginspråk och jämförelser med talat språk behövs. Det finns två former som är väldigt frekventa och som anses vara mycket karakteristiska för FT: ya och yena. Dessa former har tidigare beskrivits som stativa verb, relativmarkörer och finithetsmarkörer. De förekommer i majoriteten av alla dokument i korpuset. De fungerar som stativa verb, kopula eller kopulalika markörer, samt potentiellt även som predikatsmarkörer. Frågan om huruvida adjektiv är en relevant språklig kategori i denna pidgin diskuteras också i denna uppsats. Nyckelord: lingvistik, litet korpus, pidgin, tiraljör, andra världskriget, västafrika, senegal, petit nègre, moi-ya-dit, anonym manual 1916, Charles Mangin, Lucie Cous- turier, kolonialism English Français Tirailleur (FT) is a pidgin language that was spoken by West African soldiers and their white officers in the French colonial army approximately 1857-1954.

TOLEDANO GALLEYSFINAL2 4/3/2012 12:05 PM SECTION 5 OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND ITS PLACE IN “POST-RACIAL” AMERICA ABSTRACT The Fifteenth Amendment purported to withdraw race and color from the calculus of suffrage. Instead, it gave rise to an era of creative exclusion in which Southern states erected one barrier after another and Congress floundered in its attempts to secure the black vote it had promised. After ninety-five years, progress at last seemed possible with the introduction of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), an echo of the Fifteenth Amendment fitted with shiny, new teeth. Section 5 of the VRA reversed the inertia of discrimination by requiring states with a demonstrated history of employing disfranchising voting practices to obtain federal preclearance before implementing any changes to their voting laws. The VRA has achieved tremendous success since its enactment, due in large part to the powers embedded in section 5.

  • The Prime Minister of the Republic of India
    The Prime Minister of the Republic of India: Honourable Speaker, Sir, Honourable Prime Minister, Distinguished Members of the National Assembly, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to thank you for your most gracious words of welcome as also for honouring me with the opportunity to address this august House. This Assembly stands tall, symbolising the resolute commitment of the Mauritian people to representative democracy. The remarkable success of the Mauritian democratic experience seems doubly impressive, given the immense diversity of the multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, multi-religious character of your people. Demographic and social diversity is not an obstacle to democracy, but rather it is its essential counterpart. The natural tendency of our times is towards pluralism within a framework that ensures an inclusive polity and a caring society. There is growing awareness that globalization requires, and in fact demands, an expanding terrain of open, inclusive and diverse societies co-existing in harmony and inter-dependence. Our success in ushering a new paradigm of a co-operative international order depends on the success we achieve in expanding space for multi-cultural societies living in peace, harmony and prosperity. India and Mauritius should lead the way in showing history and humankind that pluralism works, that pluralism is the order of the day and that in embracing pluralism we embrace global security. Mr Speaker, Sir, we live in a world where pluralism is buffeted by forces, which are inimical to peaceful co-existence and harmonious relationships within societies. India and Mauritius, through the rich and successful experience of managing diversity and pluralism in an inclusive framework, stand out as beacons of hope for the future.
