Description
"Although a key figure in West African historiography, Djiguiba Camara from Damaro has remained almost completely unknown. He wrote Essay on Local History over many years but finally finished it in 1955. His focus was the history of North-Eastern Guinea with an emphasis on the Empire of Samori Touré and anticolonial resistance. Everywhere in Essay on Local History we can see not only the highly developed craft of the local and colonial historical writing of a Guinean colonial intermediary and scholar, but the view he gave is from the particular perspective of the Camara family, who had served in Samori's armies. Djiguiba Camara's own work had been known only by reputation as a source for the monumental thee-volume Samori - Une Révolution Dyula (1968-1975) by the French historian Yves Person. Now however, in this fully annotated text edition, Djiguiba Camara's Essai d'histoire locale becomes available to a wider audience for the first time. Elara Bertho and Marie Rodet have demon strated through this publication that Essay on Local History is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand both the history of Guinea and more especially Yves Person's modus operandi. Essai d'histoire locale fut écrit par un acteur-clé de l'historiographie de l'Afrique de l'Ouest pourtant encore méconnu: Djiguiba Camara. Rédigé en 1955, ce texte est centré sur l'histoire du Nord-Est de la Guinée, avec une attention particulière portée sur l'empire de Samori Touré et la résistance anticoloniale. Ce texte, Essai d'histoire locale, illustre la fabrique de l'histoire locale et coloniale par un intermédiaire colonial guinéen et un intellectuel, à partir du point de vue spécifique de la famille Camara, qui fut engagée dans les armées de Samori. Ce texte n'a été connu que parce qu'il est devenu l'une des sources majeures de l'historien français Yves Person pour sa monumentale thèse Samori, Une Révolution Dyula (1968-1975). Avec cette éditi on annotée d'une source primaire, "Essai d'histoire locale" de Djiguiba Camara devient enfin accessible à un lectorat plus vaste. Elara Bertho et Marie Rodet ont démontré grâce à cette publication que Essai d'histoire locale est une source essentielle pour la compréhension de l'histoire de la Guinée ainsi que de la fabrique de l'historiographie, en particulier du travail d'Yves Person"--
