Narratives of the French Empire

Fiction, Nostalgia, and Imperial Rivalries, 1784 to the Present

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates how literary and more general conceptions of French colonialism were influenced by an awareness of how rival European powers had negotiated conquest and disengagement from empire. It illustrates how perceived loss and nostalgia for imperial pasts helped shape the French colonial enterprise across its various manifestations.
