Metastasis -- Conclusion -- Appendix -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- IndexIn the century after the French Revolution, the South American outpost of Guiana became a depository for exiles-outcasts of the new French citizenry-and an experimental space for the exercise of new kinds of power and violence against marginal groups. Miranda Spieler chronicles the encounter between colonial officials, planters, and others, ranging from deported political enemies to convicts, ex-convicts, vagabonds, freed slaves, non-European immigrants, and Maroons (descendants of fugitive slaves in the forest). She finds that at a time when France was advocating the revolutionary principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity, Guiana's exiles were stripped of their legal identities and unmade by law, becoming nonpersons living in limbo.The French Revolution invented the notion of the citizen, but as Spieler shows, it also invented the noncitizen-the person whose rights were nonexistent. Empire and Underworld discovers in Guiana's wilderness a haunting prehistory of current moral dilemmas surrounding detainees of indeterminate legal status. Pairing the history of France with that of its underworld and challenging some of the century's most influential theorists from Hannah Arendt to Michel Foucault, Spieler demonstrates how rights of the modern world can mutate into an apparatus of human deprivation.CaptivityFrench GuianaHistoryPower (Social sciences)French GuianaHistoryPolitical violenceFrench GuianaHistoryMinoritiesFrench GuianaHistoryMarginality, SocialFrench GuianaHistoryFrench GuianaPolitics and governmentTo 1814French GuianaPolitics and government1814-1947French GuianaSocial conditionsFrench GuianaColonial influenceCaptivityHistory.Power (Social sciences)History.Political violenceHistory.MinoritiesHistory.Marginality, SocialHistory.988.2Spieler Miranda Frances1971-1573511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790212403321Empire and underworld3849257UNINA01214nam2 22002771i 450 UON0042765220231205104853.85320130625f1959 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| 1||||ˆ1.: ‰Generalites, definitionsR.
