    This article studies two African American examples of provincialising Europe "from the inside", James Baldwin's essay "Stranger in the Village" and Vincent O. Carter's "The Bern Book", both set in 1950's Switzerland. It investigates how these texts reverse the ethnographic gaze at the "other" and use the rural Swiss scenario to imagine Europe as historically backward. While the authors differ in their intentions, both acts of provincialisation leave the superiority of European high culture intact. ; L'article étudie deux oeuvres afro-américaines, "Stranger in the Village" de Baldwin et "The Bern Book" de Carter, qui provincialisent l'Europe par une vision interne de la Suisse rurale des années 1950. Il examine comment ces textes inversent le regard ethnographique sur "l'autre" et imaginent l'Europe comme étant historiquement arriérée. Bien que les auteurs aient des intentions différentes, les deux actes de provincialisation ne contestent pas la supériorité culturelle de l'Europe.
