Product Description

Collection Chroniques « Voulez-vous que la Nouvelle-Caledonie accede a la pleine souverainete et devienne independante ? » Le 4 novembre 2018, les habitants de la Nouvelle-Caledonie devront se rendre aux urnes pour se prononcer sur l’avenir de l’archipel. Pour comprendre les enjeux et les raisons de ce referendum, il est necessaire de se pencher sur le passe complexe et tumultueux du territoire. De l’arrivee des Austronesiens il y a trois mille ans a l’accord de Noumea en 1998, en passant par le choc microbien du XVIIe siecle et la construction d’un bagne agricole durant la colonisation francaise, cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire encore meconnue de ce qui fut, avec l’Algerie, la deuxieme colonie de peuplement de l’Empire francais. "Do you want New Caledonia to attain full sovereignty and become independent? This is, on November 4, 2018, the question officially put to the inhabitants of the archipelago, called to the polls to decide on their future. Complex, fascinating and yet largely unknown, the history of these territories so far from the metropolis is essential to understand the current situation, the culmination of decades of conflict and misunderstanding. From the arrival of the Austronesian civilizations, three thousand years ago, to the "years of ashes" and the drama of Ouvea in 1988, through the terrible epidemics of the eighteenth century, the missions of evangelization, the establishment of the and the exploitation of nickel, Frederic Angleviel traces the evolution of this land which was, with Algeria, the second settlement colony of the French Empire.
