Summary:
During US colonial rule in the Philippines, reinforced concrete was used to the near exclusion of all other building materials. In Concrete Colonialism , Diana Jean S. Martinez examines the motivations for and lasting effects of this forgotten colonial policy. Arguing that the pervasive use of reinforced concrete technologies revolutionized techniques of imperial conquest, Martinez shows how concrete reshaped colonialism as a project that sought durable change through the reformation of environments, colonial society, and racialized biologies. Martinez locates the origins of this material revolution in the development of Chicago, highlighting how building this urban center atop exceptionally challenging geology made it possible to transform diverse global ecologies. She details how the material's stability, plasticity, strength, and other qualities served the shifting imperatives of the US colonial regime, playing a central role in defending territory, controlling disease, and constructing monuments to nation and empire. By describing a world irreversibly remade, Martinez urges readers to consider how colonialism persists--in concrete forms--despite claims of its conclusion.

The publication features essays by twelve authors grouped in four parts. It represents a major advance in the study of nineteenth century photographic representations of Indian architecture and a benchmark in the study of post-colonial history.

Summary:
Depuis environ trois quarts de siècle, et en particulier à partir des années 1960, les archéologues ont entrepris des fouilles dans toutes les régions des Amériques susceptibles de révéler des traces laissées par cette occupation française. Toutefois, les résultats de ces recherches archéologiques demeurent trop souvent confinés dans des écrits et rapports techniques difficilement accessibles au grand public - et même aux chercheurs. Marcel Moussette et Gregory A. Waselkov proposent donc une synthèse de la recherche archéologique accomplie sur le vaste territoire de l'Amérique coloniale française qui couvre l'Acadie et Terre-Neuve, le Canada, le Pays d'en Haut et le Pays des Illinois, la Louisiane, les Antilles et la Guyane.
