Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 1:58:07 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: conference AMAROM,18 novembre : REPLY Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:45:47 -0500 From: "Abou B. Bamba" <bambaab@fulbrightmail.org> ------------------ I think there is an issue of voice (here, voice of historical actors vs. voice of the historian). I do not know the prospective speaker but think he made it sound that he was talking about the self-perception of the colonial state (cf. first sentence of announcement) when he talks lack of violence. I presume that he problematizes this when he talks about "hypocrisie structurelle" (cf. last sentence of announcement). Maybe I am reading too much into it, but I don't think he will disagree with Ibra's and the other comments so far, at least based on the short description of the announcement. Bien cordialement, Abou B. Bamba Hobart & Wm Smith Colleges Geneva, NY
