| Publisher Description: partir du XVIe si cle, les colonisations europ ennes constituent non seulement un des principaux vecteurs de la mondialisation conomique et culturelle mais aussi l'instrument d'une profonde reconfiguration sociale. Ainsi mergent des soci t s coloniales au sommet desquelles s'affirment des lites distinctes la fois de celles du vieux continent dont elles sont originaires et de celles des mondes am ricains, asiatiques, africains ou oc aniens qu'elles supplantent, remplacent ou d doublent. Les lites europ ennes apparaissent comme une des pierres angulaires du syst me colonial. travers une tude compar e des empires sur la longue dur e, cet ouvrage analyse l'origine, la formation et la mobilit des lites, leur mode de vie et leurs liens avec les m tropoles et les soci t s autochtones. Les contributions d'historiens allemands, anglais, belges, canadiens, tats-uniens, hollandais, italiens, portugais, russes et fran ais permettent de repenser la question de la domination coloniale au travers du prisme original de l'histoire sociale. Cet ouvrage restitue aussi la diversit des lites (colons, noblesses, cr oles, administrateurs, militaires, etc.) et des situations coloniales modernes et contemporaines. From the 16th century, European colonization paved the way for economic and cultural globalization and for a deep social reconfiguration. As a result, at the top of the colonial societies new elites emerged that were different from those of the old continent and the indigenous elites. European elites seem to be one of the cornerstones of the colonial system. This book highlights the diversity of elites (settlers, nobilities, Creoles, civil servants, officers, etc.) and the variety of colonial situations from the 16th century to the 20th century. Neglected for a long time, the history of imperial societies gives a new slant to colonial studies. A long-term and comparative study of empires sheds light on the origins, education and mobility of elites, their way of life and relationships with metropolitan and indigenous societies. Contributions from American, Belgian, British, Canadian, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Russian historians allow us to rethink the issue of colonial domination through the prism of social history. |
