L’Afrique, si la colonisation n’avait pas eu lieu
A quoi ressemblerait l’Afrique, si la colonisation n’avait pas eu lieu ? Cette carte, réalisée par l’artiste suédois Nikolaj Cyon, fait partie des 40 projections étonnantes que vient de sélectionner le Washington Post. La carte, datée de 1844, est imaginaire : l’auteur a cherché à dessiner ce qu’aurait pu être l’Afrique si l’Europe avait été suffisamment affaiblie pour ne pas reconquérir l’Espagne et la Sicile et coloniser le continent. Dans son scénario, la peste noire, en 1353, aurait tué quatre Européens sur cinq, affaiblissant durablement le continent du nord. Les Arabes auraient conquis le Mexique, ce qui leur aurait fourni de l’or et les auraient amenés à cultiver le maïs. La production de tissu de raphia dans l’Empire Congo aurait explosé et conduit à l’industrialisation de cette région. Et les cartes auraient été dessinées à l’envers !
Civil War Glass Negatives and Related Prints - About this Collection - Prints & Photographs Online Catalog (Library of Congress)
All images are digitized | All jpegs/tiffs display outside Library of Congress | View All This online collection provides access to about 7,000 different views and portraits made during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and its immediate aftermath.

The year in patriarchy 2019: from Epstein conspiracy theories to Japanese high heels | Arwa Mahdawi
A young Sudanese woman, dressed in white, standing high above a crowd and demanding change. A fearless Lebanese woman drop-kicking an armed bodyguard in the groin amid anti-corruption protests in Beirut. A teenage girl from Sweden staring down Donald Trump at the UN climate summit. If there is an image that sums up 2019 it may well be a young woman protesting. While it has been a year marked by political upheaval, there’s also been a lot of light relief. We also had a lot of firsts. It’s been a very, very, very long year. 1 America waged war on abortion rights Accessing a safe and legal abortion became a lot more fraught in the US this year as numerous conservative states attempted to implement so-called “heartbeat” bills that would effectively ban abortion. 2 Saudi Arabia let (some) women travel In a historic move, Saudi Arabia has relaxed archaic laws that required women to get the permission of a male guardian in order to travel. 3 Cat lovers were vindicated by science Or did he?
