Partir sur les traces de Matswa, dans l'entre-deux-guerres, c'est illuminer l'itinéraire d'un acteur à la fois mystérieux et méconnu, pourtant incontournable si l'on veut saisir les contours de la fronde contre l'ordre colonial qui se dessine aux quatre coins de l'Hexagone à partir des années 1920. Utilisant la quête de la citoyenneté française comme un fil d'Ariane, l'auteur fait cheminer le lecteur dans le dédale de la lutte anticoloniale, des cafés de la Ville-Lumière, aux Quatre Communes côtières du Sénégal, aux villages frondeurs du Moyen-Congo et aux camps de détention du Sahel tchadien. À son parcours militant audacieux se double un destin posthume qui occupe une place disproportionnée dans l'imaginaire collectif des Congolais. C'est une vie créée de toutes pièces, une vie de légende dans laquelle Matswa apparaît affublé d'oripeaux prométhéens. Cette biographie de Matswa s'attèle justement, en recourant à une pléthore de sources, à faire la part entre l'univers des croyances et l'ordre des connaissances.

"Religious Radicalism scrutinizes the religious motives and mechanisms of radicalism. The contributors observe a growing lack of understanding of religion in secular policy-bodies, as well as in the academic world in Europea and beyond. They put forward an approach 'from within' and aim to provide policy-makers with workable tools and a user-friendly method for constructively tackling religious radicalism. The underlying issue is the question of the role of the rule of law in relation to human rights in relation to religious minorities. This edited volume brings forward an interdisciplinary approach to religious radicalism blending religious studies, theology, and cultural criticism. Above all Religious Radicalism is an invitation for dialogue and a plea for understanding. In the current polarized cultural climate it is delicate to ask for prejudices to be avoided. We can tend to think that the 'other' has to trust us, and that change applies to those who think and feel differently than we do. Increasing illiteracy is both a cause and effect of religious radicalism. Those who do not feel understood and recognized and whose identity is systematically discredited turn against the institutional powers that leave the offence untouched. In short, radicalism is threatening. But for those who are completely alien to customs and backgrounds, symbols and behavior, the unprecedented and unfamiliar are just as much of a threat. This form of radicalism, which is rapidly rising on wings of ignorance, also calls for self-criticism."

"This book brings together documents from multiple radical movements in the recent United States from 1973 through 2001. These years are typically viewed as an era of neoliberalism, dominated by conservative retrenchment, the intensified programs of privatization and incarceration, dramatic cuts to social welfare, and the undermining of labor, antiracist, and feminist advances. Yet activists from the period proved tenacious in the face of upheaval, resourceful in creating new tactics, and dedicated to learning from one another. Persistent and resolute, activists did more than just keep radical legacies alive. They remade radicalism-bridging differences of identity and ideology often assumed to cleave movements, grappling with the eradication of liberal promises, and turning to movement cultures as the source of a just future. Remaking Radicalism is the first anthology of U.S. radicalisms that reveals the depth, diversity, and staying power of social movements after the close of the long 1960s. Editors Dan Berger and Emily Hobson track the history of popular struggles during a time that spans the presidencies of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush and bring to readers the political upheavals that shaped the end of the century and that continue to define the present"--
