Subject: France has long defined itself as a colourblind nation where racial bias has no place. Even today, the French universal curriculum for secondary students makes no mention of race or slavery, and many french scholars still resist addressing racial questions. Yet, as this groundbreaking volume shows, colour and other racial markers have been major factors in French national life for more than three hundred years. The sixteen essays in 'The Color of Liberty' offer a wealth of innovative research on the neglected history of race in France, ranging from the early modern-period to the present. The book focuses not just within France itself but its Carribean islands and Indochina.
