Book Synopsis
France experienced a period of crisis following World War I when the relationship between the nation and its colonies became a subject of fierce public debate. This book focuses on two intersecting movements that redefined imperial politics - colonial humanism, led by administrative reformers in West Africa, and the Paris-based Negritude project.

Trade Review
"Thoroughly researched and astutely organized, The French Imperial Nation-State is an ambitious study and important project at the leading edge of contemporary historical writing. Wilder offers a new approach to the study of race, knowledge, and European colonialism that will surely take its place among the foremost contributions to this burgeoning field." - Daniel J. Sherman, author of The Construction of Memory in Interwar France"
