The French Colonial Mind, Volume 2

Violence, Military Encounters, and Colonialism

Herausgeber: Thomas, Martin

Beschreibung

Violence was prominent in France's conquest of a colonial empire, and the use of force was integral to its control and regulation of colonial territories. What, if anything, made such violence distinctly colonial? And how did its practitioners justify or explain it? These are issues at the heart of The French Colonial Mind.
