History of West Africa since 1800
Canonization by repetition ; Paul du Chaillu in historiography
Remettant en question plusieurs des idées reçues sur Paul Du Chaillu qui, à force d'avoir été répétées, sont devenues des «faits», l'article montre qu'il est né à la Réunion vers 1831, de mère inconnue. En 1848 il suivit son père, négociant français, au Gabon ; de là, en 1852, il embarqua pour New York où il alla enseigner le français dans une école privée de jeunes filles. Les archives révèlent qu'il sollicita la nationalité américaine, mais il …

The Settlement of the Mpongwe clans in the Gabon estuary
Pendant la période qui va de 1740 à 1810, des clans mpongwé rivaux se faisaient face de part et d'autre de l'estuaire du Gabon (embouchure du Como et du Remboué).

In the nineteenth century the expression “les Gabonais” or “the Gaboon people” had only one meaning—the Mpongwe of the estuary who were the coastal tradi…

Archival Resources in Gabon
The researcher interested in archival and bibliographical information on Gabon will already have consulted Hubert Deschamps' Traditions orales et archives du Gabon (Paris, 1962), and Brian Weinstein's “Gabon: A Bibliographical Essay,” Africana Newsletter [Stanford], 1 (Winter 1963), pp. 4-9. It is not my intention to supersede these two documents but rather to provide a more recent survey of what is presently available to the researcher in Librev…
