Ce livre n'est pas seulement un ouvrage d'introduction à la mentalité chinoise, c'est un livre de dialogue. S'il confronte les différences entre Chine et Occident, il montre aussi que ces points de vue peuvent s'échanger. S'appuyant sur des symboles connus de tous ( la muraille de Chine, le yin et le yang, etc. ), l'auteur présente les principaux éléments de la mentalité chinoise en les confrontant à la manière occidentale de penser et d'agir. Il s'agit, en un mot, de donner quelques codes pour résoudre l'énigme dans le but de désamorcer les craintes occidentales à l'égard de la Chine. Ainsi, selon L'Art de la guerre, de Sun-tzu, l'impérialisme et l'anéantissement d'autrui n'appartiennent pas à la tradition chinoise; l'art de la guerre y est au contraire un art de ne pas faire la guerre. Un essai talentueux, accessible et empreint d'humour, qui modifiera à jamais le regard que l'on porte sur la Chine.

Tracing the development of British colonial administration in West Africa over the course of the long eighteenth century, Caulker illuminates the solidification of the administration as it goes through a learning process of power. This book analyzes the documents and treaties that the indigenous peoples of eighteen-century Sierra Leone made with their future British colonizers, and compares them with the writings of Adam Smith to uncover a colonial philosophy linking European economic success with the process of civilizing Africa through moral education. A discussion of other archival materials demonstrates the ways that an emerging anthropological science and pseudo-scientific methodology contributed to colonial ventures and exploration. The book concludes with an analysis of the postcolonial novel The Last Harmattan of Alusine Dunbar, demonstrating that the study of this long eighteenth-century archive has as much to do with the present postcolonial era as it does with the period of African colonization.

Since 1992--the end of the Cold War--Brazil has been slowly and quietly carving a niche for itself in the international community: that of a regional leader in Latin America. How and why is the subject of Sean Burges's investigations.
