Colonial Conscripts: The Tirailleurs Senegalais in French West Africa, 1857-1960 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In Colonial Conscripts, Myron Echenberg traces the social history of a large and diverse group of West Africans who served in Senegalese regiments of the French colonial army. Examining both how the soldiers and veterans lived out their lives in service and how the military institution functioned, Dr Echenberg also reviews the African military within a framework bounded by such issues as labor, migration, and demography. The main focus is on how rank-and-file African soldiers, officers, and veterans responded to their ambiguous and often contradictory position within the colonial social formation.

Very Good in Wrappers. 0435080520. 236 pages. paperback. keywords: Africa Senegal History West Africa. DESCRIPTION - In Colonial Conscripts, Myron Echenberg traces the history of a large and diverse group of West Africans, the men who served in the Tirailleurs SEnEgalais regiments of the French Colonial Army. The Tirailleurs SEnEgalais have evoked vivid but distorted images among adversaries and allies from the time of their founding in 1857 to their phase-out after the coming of independence to French West Africa in 1960. Viewed as colonial collaborators, African soldiers were a mirror of colonialism and reflected its most basic contradictions. As for the hierarchical and paternalistic institution to which they belonged, it was a metaphor for colonialism itself. Of the Western powers, only France brought about a militarization of its African colonies by adopting universal male conscription from 1912 until 1960. While other nations also understood the practical advantages of recruiting from among local populations, the French Colonial Army was unique in its determination to use the Tirailleurs SEnEgalais both as an expeditionary force in every corner Of the Empire and as a bulwark in the continental defense of France in the era between the two world wars. Examining not only how the soldiers and veterans lived out their lives in service and how the military institution functioned, Professor Echenberg also reviews the African military within a framework bounded by such issues as labor, migration, and demography. The main focus is on how the rank-and-file African soldiers, officers, and veterans responded to their ambiguous and often contradictory position within the colonial social formation. Colonial Conscripts is a book for historians of Africa and the French colonial experience, and of war and society. It is also of interest to all whose work involves politics and society of the Third World. '. one of the most comprehensive social histories written of any West African group, it links these histories unmistakably to West African politics, and - not least - it demonstrates the significance of the armed forces in the French African colonies.' - Patrick Manning, Northeastern University. 'It provides an important overview of continuity and development of the tirailleurs. In so doing, Echenberg is able to delineate the dilemmas, indeed the contradictions, of French colonial rule in which the rulers became increasingly dependent upon the ruled. Echenberg has produced an important study that will be of value for historians of both Africa and France who wish to extend their understanding of this interaction of two peoples and cultures.' - Kim Munholland, University of Minnesota. inventory #46061.
