Jusqu'en 1999, la municipalisation dans les Gaules et les Germanies, c'est-à-dire la constitution des cités, leurs statuts et les modalités de leur administration, n'avait jamais encore été abordée sous un angle global. Les études envisageaient la question soit dans l'optique de l'urbanisation, soit dans un cadre géographique limité. Nous nous sommes donc efforcés d'établir des dossiers documentaires complets et de les discuter de façon approfondie. En dépit des nombreuses publications concernant ces provinces occidentales publiées entretemps, le livre n'a pas été remplacé, et il est apparu qu'une réédition était souhaitable. Les contributions, conformes à celles de la première livraison, concernent donc l'évolution de la Narbonnaise (M. Christol), les magistratures des Trois Gaules (M. Dondin-Payre), la colonie de Lyon (F. Bérard), la problématique de la future Normandie (E. Deniaux) d'une part; pour les Germanies, les colonies suisses (R. Frei-Stolba et coll.), rhénanes (H. Galsterer), et la totalité des autres cités (M. Raepsaet-Charlier) d'autre part; enfin, trois analyses sont consacrées aux vétérans en Belgique et Germanie inférieure (S. Demougin), et aux aspects religieux de la municipalisation (J. Scheid, avec une attention spéciale portée aux curies, W. Van Andringa, les sacerdoces publics).

Der moderne europäische Kolonialismus hat die Ordnung der Welt tiefgreifend und dauerhaft verändert. Dies gilt für politische und wirtschaftliche, vor allem aber auch für "mentale" Strukturen. Eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der kolonialen Vergangenheit und ein Gedenken der Opfer sind in den ehemals kolonisierenden Gesellschaften dabei bisher weitgehend ausgeblieben. Dieser Befund trifft in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß auf Deutschland und die Niederlande zu, wie die Beiträge des Sammelbandes zeigen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren reflektieren den gegenwärtigen Stand der nachkolonialen Erinnerungskulturen in der Pädagogik, in literarischen Werken und im öffentlichen Gedenken. Neue Herausforderungen an ein bislang national geprägtes kollektives Gedächtnis ergeben sich durch die zunehmende Pluralisierung der beiden Einwanderungsgesellschaften. Schließlich wird nach der Zukunft von Erinnerung in einer sich entwickelnden Weltgesellschaft gefragt.

"The suppression of piracy and other forms of maritime violence was a keystone in the colonisation of Southeast Asia. Focusing on what was seen in the nineteenth century as the three most pirate-infested areas in the region--the Sulu Sea, the Strait of Malacca and Indochina--this comparative study in colonial history explores how piracy was defined, contested and used to resist or justify colonial expansion, particularly during the most intense phase of imperial expansion in Southeast Asia from c. 1850 to c. 1920. In doing so, it demonstrates that piratical activity continued to occur in many parts of Southeast Asia well beyond the mid-nineteenth century, when most existing studies of piracy in the region end their period of investigation. It also points to the changes over time in how piracy was conceptualised and dealt with by each of the major colonial powers in the region, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States"--

This open access book takes a deeper and broader perspective of the Hassaniya-speaking peoples' struggle for self-determination in the Western Sahara. There has been a surge of interest in the Western Sahara, often centred around sensationalist news reports and policy briefs on these groups. But in-depth understanding and analysis remains neglected and little work has been undertaken on the diverse experiences of the Hassaniya and the contrasting political regimes under which they live. The contributors here focus on the complex and ambiguous relations between statehood, Islam, nation building and identity formation in hassanophone northwest Africa, ranging from southern Morocco, the Western Sahara and Mauritania to Algeria. The book brings new analysis and up-to-date fieldwork to provide an 'inside perspective' on these populations and their regional interactions, with contributions from the fields of law, history, politics, gender studies and media studies and the research of scholars from both the global North and global South. This interdisciplinary collection shows how urban ways of life are being adopted, with the Hassaniya-speaking peoples adapting to state-administered social policies and new modes of settling territorial disputes and legal claims. In doing so, the book sheds new light on the region's shifting social hierarchies, the new gendered power dynamics, and generational changes in the re-interpretation of 'tradition'. As well as displaying that the Western Sahara's Hassanophone are pivotal to the development of a specific tribal-based political culture and language, the book reveals the close association they have with Islam, both as a religious expression as well as a cultural marker. It is a much-needed contribution to work on the intersections of politics, Islam and identity in hassanophone northwest Africa.
