Résumé
Around World War One, Native's Protection once again aroused vivacious debate in metropoles as well as in colonies. Two societies, the Anti-Slavery & Aborigines' Protection Society in Great Britain, the Ligue des droits de l'homme in France, sought to take the lead in imperial philanthropy, building on renewed or new bonds with West African protégés. They set up or welcomed auxiliary societies and local sections to pass on the complaints of the colonized. This article focuses on these networks and the exchanges between metropolitan protectors and West Africans protégés from the 1910s to the mid-1920s, as all of them tried to redefine what Native's Protection could and should be. It tries to assess West African agency in this transition and how the rather vexed dealings between would be metropolitan protectors and very active West African protégés shaped the production of the new international and imperial order at the end of the World War One.
