The representation of business over the last sixty years has a number of common features, the main one being a deep scepticism about the moral standing of business as an activity and of the kinds of personal qualities required for success. However this should be qualified by the frequent use of the idea of the Miltonic anti-hero. There are significant changes over the period, in particular a shift in focus from the firm to the individual entrepreneur and a growing interest in one particular business (finance). Positive representations of business are becoming more popular, particularly in India, but there does appear to be something about the culture of film and television making that predisposes its participants towards a sceptical view of the moral standing of business.","PeriodicalId":41972,"journal":{"name":"Tocqueville Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"251 - 264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41882828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article takes a closer look at the way the African American press portrayed these French colonial troops from Africa and used them in its own war efforts during the Second World War. By examining various newspapers, it uncovers three themes that dominated their reports and columns. First, black papers covered extensively the involvement and performance of black African soldiers in the French war effort. Second, they often portrayed France as an example of equality and integration in the military and society. Third, they discussed France's imperialism and oppression of its black subjects. The three themes reveal profound disagreements and debates within the African American press and community on the involvement of blacks in the war effort against Nazi Germany. African American journalists and commentators found themselves caught between pride and dismay at the sight of black Africans in uniforms of their colonial rulers fighting Nazis and fascists. Ultimately, all three themes were connected to the struggle of African Americans with and against white supremacy and segregation at home and abroad. They were, in their own way, meant to improve the lot and image of all blacks - predominantly black men.","PeriodicalId":41972,"journal":{"name":"Tocqueville Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"19 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49129824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part One establishes the evidence, contextual and textual, for the claim that the old political science to which Tocqueville refers is the Enlightenment project as interpreted by the selfproclaimed heirs of the philosophes in the revolutionary generation: the Idéologues. Part Two argues that taking this foil seriously allows us to see the novelties associated with Tocqueville's new democratic political science: the ways in which he hoped to avoid the dangerous temptations and seductions of the old and his subtle moralized interpretation of intérêt bien entendu. Much impressive recent scholarship recovers the importance of Tocqueville's aristocratic interlocutors; this article argues that he was also in veiled conversation with liberals of a particularly democratic and utilitarian kind, and that he self-consciously adopted their idealism and assumed their mantle.","PeriodicalId":41972,"journal":{"name":"Tocqueville Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"185 - 211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49187272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the American case, Tocqueville deplores the \"tyrannical\" and \"atrocious\" treatment of Amerindians, whereas in Algeria he describes the ruination of natives as an \"unfortunate necessity\" and largely refuses to criticize French conduct on moral grounds. As part of a larger attempt to reconcile Tocqueville's liberalism with his unapologetic defense of colonial domination, this article offers a critical account of Tocqueville's representations of foreign others. It ends by suggesting that because Tocqueville's conceptualization of the Algerian \"other\" is grounded in the implicit identification of the international realm with pure power politics, he is able to utilize a discourse specific to times of war that evades normative considerations. By contrast, insofar as the Amerindians are situated within American domestic space, they elicit normative thinking about their status and treatment.","PeriodicalId":41972,"journal":{"name":"Tocqueville Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"131 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69416108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But his understanding of self-education through local participation is only a part of a larger education that includes participation in political associations and appreciating a free press. In this article, I thus argue that Tocqueville is opposed to the abuses inherent in centralization as opposed to centralization itself. To combat these abuses, it is important to appreciate the goods of centralization in addition to the goods of decentralization, the township, and self-government for which Tocqueville's pedagogy is rightfully associated.","PeriodicalId":41972,"journal":{"name":"Tocqueville Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"163 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47651747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En effet, la moitié de ses effectifs est composée de soldats colonisés provenant principalement d'Algérie, Tunisie et du Maroc, mais aussi des colonies frangaises d'Afrique subsaharienne. Après l'occupation de la Rhénanie dans les années 1920, par plusieurs milliers de sujets coloniaux, et qui avait provoqué le scandale de la « honte noire », c'est la seconde fois au XXe siécle que l'armée française utilise des soldats colonisés pour occuper des civils allemands. Les relations intimes, consenties ou non, entre colonisés et femmes occupées, sont alors, a nouveau, au centre de toutes les attentions.Croisant les apports des travaux récents sur les sexualités et les relations de genre en guerre, et, d'autre part dans celle des recherches sur les masculinités en situation coloniale, cet article analyse la manière dont l'institution militaire envisage les relations entre soldats colonisés conquérants et des Allemandes vaincues. Il a pour ambition de montrer comment un État colonial en guerre, et plus précisément en sortie de guerre, contrôle la sexualité des Européennes comme celle des colonisés. Il s'agit de comprendre comment la hiérarchie militaire gère de telles relations à un moment d'affaiblissement de la puissance coloniale mais aussi de réaffirmation d'une virilité conquérante des hommes métropolitains après l'humiliation de 1940.","PeriodicalId":41972,"journal":{"name":"Tocqueville Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"59 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43262702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
