Book Synopsis
Until the close of the nineteenth century, French colonial theory was based on the idea of assimilation, which gave France the responsibility for "civilizing" its colonies by absorbing them administratively and culturally. This book examines the shift in colonial theory within the metropole, and its intellectual origins.
