Sommario/riassunto |

Le présent ouvrage a pour ambition de combler une lacune qui devient de plus en plus évidente : l'étude de l'Asie Mineure au ive siècle a.C. n'a donné lieu à aucun ouvrage de synthèse depuis W. Judeich, Kleinasiatische Studien 1892. Dans un premier ensemble de chapitres sont analysés les rouages de l'administration perse en Anatolie : le système satrapique, ses subdivisions et l'histoire de son évolution depuis sa création. Dans une deuxième partie, c'est l'histoire politique que l'on s'efforce de reconstituer malgré les zones d'ombre inévitables pour toute histoire régionale. À cet effet est mis en œuvre l'ensemble des sources disponibles : œuvres littéraires d'Hérodote à Strabon, mais aussi données archéologiques, inscriptions et monnaies, qui permettent de renouveler complètement certaines questions. La « grande » révolte des satrapes de 362 et l'anabase d'Alexandre donnent l'occasion de dresser un tableau régional visant à monter la diversité des situations qui caractérise bien l'Anatolie, carrefour de peuples et de civilisations. This study aims to fill a gap which has become more and more obvious: the study of Asia Minor in the fourth century BC has not seen a work of synthesis since W. Judeich, Kleinasiatische Studien, 1892. The first set of chapters analyzes the machinery of Persian administration in Anatolia: the satrapal system, its subdivisions, and the history of its evolution from its foundation. The second part attempts to reconstruct political history, despite the inevitable |

obscurities in any regional history. All available sources are put to work in this effort: literary works from Herodotos to Strabo, archaeological evidence, inscriptions, and coins, which sometimes allow a complete reexamination of certain questions. The “great” revolt of the satraps of 362 and the expedition of Alexander provide the opportunity to construct a regional picture which aspires to show the diversity that characterizes Anatolia, crossroads of peoples and… |

widely read and taught novels in the English language. Hailed as an incisive indictment of European imperialism in Africa upon its publication in 1899, more recently it has been repeatedly denounced as racist and imperialist. Peter Firchow counters these claims, and his carefully argued response allows the charges of Conrad's alleged bias to be evaluated as objectively as possible. He begins by contrasting the meanings of race, racism, and imperialism in Conrad's day to those of our own time. Firchow then argues that Heart of D |
