Des femmes de toutes les générations, militantes ou simples mères de famille, ont participé à la révolution égyptienne. L'espoir les a prises par surprise. Elles ont bravé leur peur, mais il leur a fallu affronter un autre obstacle de taille : celui d'être femme dans une société qui voyait leur place ailleurs que sur la place Tahrir. Jihad Darwiche dessine le portrait de femmes ordinaires emportées dans la tourmente de la révolution de janvier 2011. Une fresque de la vie au Caire, un hymne à l'espoir et au combat pour la liberté, accompagné avec lyrisme et tendresse par le piano d'Henry Torgue.

Entre la fin du XVIIIe et le milieu du XXe siècle, les judaïsmes de France et d'Allemagne prendront des formes nouvelles qui auraient pu augurer d'une inscription durable dans les sociétés d'accueil. «Franco-judaïsme» et «judaïsme allemand» témoignent, chacun à leur manière, d'une volonté d'émancipation et d'intégration que balayera la catastrophe de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À travers l'analyse de phénomènes comme l'émigration ou l'antisémitisme, du rôle de la presse juive ou de rituels tels que le mariage, ce volume, élaboré par de jeunes chercheurs doctorants français, allemands, anglais et américains, propose une histoire comparée de ces communautés pour définir les grandes lignes de ce qui aurait pu se constituer comme un judaïsme européen.

Le journal du jeune Werner Thalheim témoigne d'un chapitre sombre de l'histoire du 20e siècle qui força un grand nombre de personnes à des exils à l'issue parfois dramatique. Au milieu des années 30, il s'installe avec d'autres antifascistes allemands, à l'aide des Quakers anglais, dans une ferme abandonnée en Catalogne française. Pédagogues passionnés, ils créent "La Coûme" et accueillent pendant des années des jeunes auxquels ils dispensent un enseignement avant-gardiste.
Este libro, en su multiplicidad temática y en su diversidad de perspectivas, trata de recoger el estado actual de la investigación histórica sobre el Franquismo (1936-1975). Pretende contribuir con ello a la revisión actual de la perspectiva histórica sobre esta etapa de la historia contemporánea de España. Revisión que tiene como objetivo histórico y como finalidad "política", romper al consentido silencio y el estratégico olvido con que se realizó la Transición a la democracia (1975-1978).
Le récit de la Retirada méconnu du grand public a beaucoup à dire et à partager aujourd'hui encore. Cette partie bafouée de notre histoire, de cet exil collectif et subi, donne à réfléchir sur notre rapport à soi et à l'autre, sur la complexité des conflits, mais surtout donne à penser sur nos rapports à la solidarité. Susana Azquinezer parvient avec brio et justesse à retracer cette histoire collective de républicains espagnols au travers de destins individuels. Avec la braise des mots et de la musique, sans volonté d'incendie et sans jamais se départir d'une retenue humaniste, elle nous conte les réfugiés, la guerre civile, l'exode, les camps et surtout leur réussite en exil.

Reunification is a historical fact that carries with it individual narratives and corporate establishment, intrigues inherent in every nation building experiment especially in Africa. This study examines the role played by some of the major actors of the Reunification of Cameroon. Were they just actors or architects? The reader will discover the reasons why we refer to them as "architects" of Cameroon's Reunification.
En 1994, tras el genocidio de los Tutsi y la masacre de los opositores Hutu, una gran parte de la población huyó al vecino Zaire. En 1996, el FPR establecido en el poder en Kigali envió al APR a "barrer" los campos de refugiados que asimilaba con los genocidas. El autor narra su propia historia de superviviente, y revela lo que los grandes medios de comunicación, así como las instituciones internacionales ignoraron deliberadamente: un hecatombe programada y ejecutada por el régimen militar Tutsi de Kigali, un crimen contra la Humanidad que se ha negado hasta el momento presente.
Theodor Mommsen aveva ventisette anni nel 1844, quando giunse la prima volta in Italia, dando inizio alla straordinaria avventura epigrafica che l'avrebbe condotto a pubblicare le Inscriptiones Regni Neapolitani Latinae (1852) e quindi alla progettazione del Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum. Marie-René de La Blanchère (Tours, 17 febbraio 1853 - Parigi, 30 maggio 1896) ne aveva ventisei nel '79, al momento dell'arrivo presso la neonata École française de Rome con l'obiettivo di indagare le antichità della regione pontina: iniziava allora una contrastata (e per certi versi drammatica) vicenda di vita e di ricerca, il cui principale frutto resta il "saggio di storia locale" su Terracine (1884), preceduto e seguito da importanti contributi sul Latium adiectum e l'Africa romana; nel 1885 l'Autore si sarebbe trasferito in Tunisia, dove divenne protagonista della vasta opera di studio e salvaguardia delle antichità locali, culminata nella fondazione del Museo del Bardo. Questo libro raccoglie gli atti del convegno internazionale Dalle terre pontine all'Africa romana: Marie-René de La Blanchère, archeologo, epigrafista, orientalista (San Felice Circeo, 3-4 giugno 2016), organizzato dall'École francaise de Rome e dal Comune di San Felice Circeo (LT) in sinergia con la Soprintendenza archeologica del Lazio Meridionale, con "Sapienza" Università di Roma e l'Università della Tuscia di Viterbo. Nel ripercorrere le tappe della carriera scientifica di La Blanchère, il volume - arricchito dalla prima bibliografia sistematica degli scritti dell'Autore - affronta alcuni momenti chiave della politica culturale della Francia di fine Ottocento, sullo sfondo della virtuosa competizione tra le istituzioni archeologiche europee in Italia, soffermandosi in particolare sulle tappe della `scoperta' delle antichità del Lazio meridionale, negli anni in cui si compiva la titanica impresa dei volumi IX e X del CIL (1883).

Mobsters, murder, betrayal, and revenge are the raw components of this candid look into the day-to-day life of a modern-day marijuana smuggler. Told from the viewpoint of an impressionable young entrepreneur named Jay Carter Brown, the book quickly draws the reader into the gritty underbelly of the international drug trade.
The story begins with minor-league smuggling scams between Canada and the Caribbean that soon escalate to multi-ton shipments of grass and hash from the Caribbean and the Middle East. All goes well for a time, but as the stakes grow higher, the inevitable setbacks occur.
When Jay teams up with a crusty old bank robber named Irving, he also inherits a host of other felons who come out of jail to visit his new partner, ex-cons such as: Randy the hit man who liked to practise his fast draw in front of a mirror; Simon, the drug-running pilot; and Chico Perry, who smoked reefer in his pipe while robbing banks and shooting it out with the cops.
Drug-runners, police, jealous friends, and rival gangs all contribute to this extraordinary story told by a young man who became involved at the highest levels of the drug trade, and lived to tell about it. Smuggler's Blues is a rare opportunity to experience life in another world - a world where survival relies on brains, brawn, and a generous measure of good luck.
Luis Garcia Manzano fut de l'un de ces républicains espagnols contraints et forcés de fuir leur pays, d'errer sur les plages du littoral languedocien ou dans les camps des Pyrénées. Déporté à 16 ans à peine, il vécut quarante-deux mois à Mauthausen. Il nous raconte l'extraordinaire pied de nez, à l'horreur, aux brimades, à la faim : comment, avec un groupe d'amis, dans la froide morsure d'un camp de la mort, ils ont eu l'idée folle de créer en 1943 un orchestre typique espagnol, « la Rondalla ».
Ce récit simple et direct écrit en 1972, est un émouvant témoignage de courage et de résistance de l'enfer concentrationnaire, « là-bas ou le destin de notre siècle saigne », comme l'a écrit Aragon.
Edition bilingue française et espagnole.
Hungary, spring-summer 1944. In less than two months, nearly 440,000 Jews crammed into 147 trains were deported from Hungary to be transported for the great majority to the gates of the Auschwitz-Birkenau's Krematorium. The Brodi family, from Huedin, Transylvania, arrives there on the night of June 1 to 2. Elisabeth is 20 years old, she will never see her family again.
Elisabeth's mourning story plunges us into the modest family life, marked by the attachment to the traditions of her parents, within the Jewish community of a small provincial town in northern Romania. This area at the crossroads of the borders, remodeled in the aftermath of the Great War, is annexed by Hungary in 1940 and its entry into the war worsens the persecutions against the Jews. The Brodi family suffers the effects until the invasion of the country by the Nazis (March 19, 1944) which precipitates them in the Cluj ghetto, the last stage before the deportation.
The memory of her family, her strength of character, her endurance forged in the permanent danger of a terrible year and happy encounters, allow Elisabeth to go through hardships. For her new life, she chooses France and to join the one she loves in Gironde. They met in Grlitz (Lower Silesia), in a shelter under the Allied bombardments, she, a slave, he, a prisoner of war, exploited by the Nazi war industry. It was in La Teste-de-Buch that they got married, and that Elisabeth built a beautiful and large family (8 children, 17 grandchildren,...) in the form of victory over the annihilation promised by Hitler. She has never ceased passing on the memory of her family and lavishing the lessons of her courage and resilience to the younger generations for a quarter of a century.
"Elisabeth Kasza was a nomad in more ways than one. During the war she was deported and sent from one concentration camp to another, then went into exile afterwards. After becoming an actress, she travelled within herself, from character to character. Elisabeth was born in Kaposvár, in southwestern Hungary, into a family of Jewish origin that had converted to Protestantism. Under the Nazi yoke, as Jews she and her parents were confined in a ghetto and later deported. Elisabeth voluntarily shared with them the fate of the 440,000 Hungarian Jews sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau between mid-May and early July 1944. Like most of the deportees, her father was murdered as soon as he arrived. Then Elisabeth was cruelly separated from her mother and transferred to the camps of Bergen-Belsen, Duderstadt and Terezin. After the Liberation, Elisabeth went to Budapest, where she was treated for myocarditis brought on by malnutrition in the camps. Fleeing the communist dictatorship, she wanted to settle in the United States but stayed in France, where she became a stage and screen actress. Her story is the account of a sensitive, cultivated woman whose happy youth was swept away by torment and horror.".
Les partis sociaux-démocrates ou socialistes sont-ils inévitablement confrontés à une révision idéologique profonde une fois élus? Comment la social-démocratie peut-elle se redéfinir à la lumière de l'effondrement des systèmes communistes? Au-delà des bilans et des quatre cas examinés (Parti socialiste ouvrier espagnol, Parti socialiste français, Nouveau parti démocratique d'Ontario et Parti québécois), les auteurs s'interrogent sur les effets des transformations majeures que connaît le monde depuis quelques années et sur l'avenir, s'il existe, et la redéfinition, si elle est possible, de la social-démocratie.
A fresh and incisive examination of one of the Second World War's crucial campaigns, the battle for Normandy in the months after D-Day.
What happened to the Allied armies in Normandy in the months after D-Day, 1944? Why, after the initial success of the landings, did their advance stall a few miles inland from the beaches? Why did the British take so long to capture Caen? Why did the US infantry struggle so much in the bocage south of Omaha beach? Who was right about the conduct of the land campaign - Eisenhower or Montgomery? How did the Germans, deprived of air support, manage to hold off such a massive Allied force for more than two months? And if Enigma was allowing the Allies to read German battleplans, why did things go wrong as often as they did?
THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY re-examines the demands and difficulties of the campaign and sheds new light on both with the aid of accounts from veterans on both sides. (Oral history forms a large part of the book.) It also analyses in detail the plans and performance of the commanders involved: Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton, Montgomery, Crerar and, of course, Rommel. Controversial and at times catastrophic, the Battle of Normandy was the last great set-piece battle in history and is long overdue for reassessment.
Jacques Saurel, Jahrgang 1933, hätte ohne weiteres das gleiche Schicksal erleiden knnen wie zahlreiche Kinder von Eltern, die in der Zwischenkriegszeit aus Polen nach Frankreich ausgewandert waren: Auschwitz und die Gaskammer. Seinem Vater verdankt er es, zunächst nicht behelligt worden zu sein: Dieser hatte sich freiwillig zum Militärdienst verpflichtet, war in Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten und deswegen - wie auch seine Familie - durch die Genfer Konvention geschützt. So wurden Jacques, seine ältere Schwester (die jüngste war versteckt) und sein kleiner Bruder drei Monate lang in Drancy interniert und dann mit ihrer Mutter in das Sternlager von Bergen-Belsen deportiert.

This is one of the most significant military books of the twentieth century. By an outstanding soldier of independent mind, it pushed forward the evolution of land warfare and was directly responsible for German armoured supremacy in the early years of the Second World War.
Published in 1937, the result of 15 years of careful study since his days on the German General Staff in the First World War, Achtung Panzer! argues how vital the proper use of tanks and supporting armoured vehicles would be in the conduct of a future war. When that war came, just two years later, he proved it, leading his Panzers with distinction in the Polish, French and Russian campaigns. Panzer warfare had come of age, exactly as he had forecast.This first English translation of Heinz Guderian's classic book - used as a textbook by Panzer officers in the war - has an introduction and extensive background notes by the modern English historian Paul Harris.
Esta obra aborda los procesos de cambio institucional en España e Hispanoamérica durante los años que fueron desde la guerra de los Siete Años hasta la formación de los estados nacionales. Para mantener el hilo de esta historia global, dichos procesos se analizan a través del prisma de la historia de las finanzas, examinando los problemas fiscales en su interdependencia con transformaciones económicas, sociales y culturales más amplias. Resultado de dos proyectos del programa ECOS que reunieron a especialistas argentinos, franceses y mexicanos, así como a colegas de Alemania, España e Italia invitados a distintos encuentros, el libro ha intentado situarse en diferentes escalas de observación: la de la Monarquía, que negocia y reforma los mecanismos de acceso y de circulación de recursos, transformando así sus propios equilibrios políticos; o, en el otro extremo, la de las arenas locales, donde la cooperación y el conflicto de sus actores producían reconfiguraciones institucionales y territoriales; o aun el ámbito de los dispositivos que atravesaban las diferentes escalas -los derechos de propiedad, los cuerpos y las articulaciones comunitarias, o las dimensiones fiscales de la ciudadanía- cuyas evoluciones acompasaban el tránsito del Antiguo Régimen al orden republicano.
Vers le milieu du xxe siècle, le juge Paolo Sarlo arrive dans une grande propriété agricole d'Italie du Sud, pour liquider la succession de son oncle. Contre toute attente, il découvre que celui-ci régnait en tyran sur ses paysans et que, pour essayer de capter une part de son héritage, de nombreuses paysannes prétendent avoir eu un enfant de leur maître. Découragé face à une société paysanne dont il ne parvient pas à décrypter les modes de penser, le juge renonce à établir une vérité définitive. Au même moment, un autre personnage, le secrétaire de l'oncle, détenteur de nombreux secrets, dévoile ses véritables intentions. L'histoire apparaît alors dans toute sa signification politique et philosophique.Écrite entre 1944 et 1951, L'Héritage de l'oncle est sans aucun doute la pièce la plus réussie de Fortunato Seminara ; elle peut être considérée comme une parabole politique dont la morale est largement inspirée de l'allégorie de la caverne.
Este libro explora distintos tipos de paisajes de guerra, surgidos como resultado de los grandes conflictos bélicos de la Europa del siglo pasado. Comparando el devenir de estos paisajes en Francia, España, Alemania, Rusia, Hungría, Polonia, los países bálticos, Ucrania, Camboya y Japón, se busca profundizar en sus huellas, en las reconstrucciones de la posguerra y en la patrimonialización más reciente de estos testimonios. La obra insiste en el carácter transnacional de esta historia particular de las reconstrucciones tras las contiendas, sin olvidar su dimensión artística y cultural, ni la repercusión del fenómeno en el cine y en la literatura. El volumen reúne los estudios de una veintena de especialistas que han abordado cada caso con enfoques amplios y exhaustivos donde se priorizan los elementos comparativos entre los diferentes escenarios bélicos, lo que supone una relevante aportación respecto a estos temas, que ve la luz en una edición coordinada en castellano.
