Quand les jeunes catholiques découvrent le monde
Harang Charles-Edouard - Collection Histoire
Résumé
--
From the mission of conversion in Sub-Saharan Africa to engagement in cooperation, taking in the fracture of the Algerian war, this book describes the history of Catholic youth movements which, between 1920 and 1991, were confronted with the emergence of the Third World". Part of a vaster reflection on the history of colonization and Catholicism, it offers a better understanding of the changes of vision which took place in Catholic movements in all their diversity. How could they possibly follow the first commandment of Christ, the central figure of their spirituality, in the face of colonial domination, which employed coercive methods and considered the Other as an inferior being? How did they operate the shift - without violent transition - from a colonial vision to the desire to promote a certain fraternity with citizens of the former colonies? Breaking away from the simplistic image of the sword and the rosary in the colonies, this book describes the complexity of attitudes and ideas. The discovery of the world and the Other a restructuring of spirituality the role of Catholics in society: all these dynamic forces lie at the heart of this history. On the one hand, the general context (evolution of society and political life in France, international relations) and on the other, that of the Catholic Church (especially the role of the pope) are constantly analyzed when they are directly relevant to the subject. The author has included in his study the reactions of young Africans to decolonization, then - after independence was obtained - to their investment in national construction and economic and social development. How did the transmission of power by young French Catholics to an African élite result in today's situation? Lastly, the rapid passage towards engagement for the promotion of development has veiled the history of the previous period, rejected it before we had sufficient time to look back. This book treats that evolution, between 1956 and 1967, in priority in order to gain a better understanding of that forgetfulness into which the history of colonization appears to have fallen."
