Emmanuelle Saada's work is a monumental synthesis encompassing the
period from the 15th century to the present day. In seven thematic
chapters, she shows not only how colonization took place, but also how
colonized peoples initially resisted it, adapted to it, and then
rejected it. She reminds us that colonization proceeded from a process
of discovery followed by barbarity, the "savages" not being the
vanquished... Nevertheless, while some sought to understand the colonial
world, their desire was co-opted into a will to subjugate, dominate, and
exploit. The book thus reminds us that colonization, far from being a
project of emancipation, generated misery and enslavement. Colonization,
or rather its legacy, occupies a significant place in Jean-Sylvestre de
Mongrenier's dictionary. It is primarily a matter of understanding power
dynamics between nations. Contemporary geopolitical analysis also
examines environmental issues, as well as the economic and social
challenges of globalization. The author offers an impressive list of
concepts that allow us to navigate the history and almost geology of the
committees and conferences that have shaped contemporary
transformations. He emphasizes that while the upheaval of the major
balances began between 1979 and 1991, the underlying causes are much
older. While the 1990s raised hopes for freedom, it is clear that since
the 2010s, a contrary wind has been blowing across the world.
The amused reader can also discover an original meaning for the word
"anarchy," coined by the American political scientist Robert Kaplan, who
explained that anarchy is a deconstructed world resulting from a major
geopolitical upheaval...
