The French Atlantic Triangle
A study of representations of the French Atlantic slave trade in the history, literature, and film of France and its former colonies in Africa and the Caribbean.
The Death of the French Atlantic
War, revolution, and anti-slavery were the three major forces which led to the dramatic decline of France's Atlantic empire with the loss of her richest Caribbean colony, Saint-Domingue. Alan Forrest draws a rich portrait of France's Atlantic communities in this tumultuous period, and the uneasy legacy of the French slave trade.
The Anatomy of Blackness
This volume examines the Enlightenment-era textualization of the Black African in European thought. Andrew S. Curran rewrites the history of blackness by replicating the practices of eighteenth-century readers. Surveying French and European travelogues, natural histories, works of anatomy, pro- and anti-slavery tracts, philosophical treatises, and literary texts, Curran shows how naturalists and philosophes drew from travel literature to discuss the perceived problem of human blackness within the nascent human sciences. He also describes how a number of now-forgotten anatomists revolutionized the era’s understanding of black Africans and charts the shift of the slavery debate from the mora...
The French Atlantic
The French Atlantic is a compelling and timely contribution to ongoing debates about nationhood, culture, and “Frenchness” that have come to define France and its diaspora in light of the diplomatic fracas surrounding the Iraq war and other mass cultural events. With interdisciplinary navigation of fields nearly as diverse as the locations he explores, Bill Marshall considers the cultural history of seven different French Atlantic spaces—from Quebec to the southern Caribbean to North Atlantic territory and back to metropolitan France—in this groundbreaking study of the Atlantic world.

Le papier voyageur : Provenance, circulation et utilisation en Nouvelle-France au XVIIe siècle
Sous l'Ancien Régime, l'administration coloniale, l'Eglise et le commerce ont produit une masse considérable de documents de toutes sortes : la Nouvelle-France n'y a pas fait exception. Puisque la colonie n'avait aucun moulin producteur de papier, il a bien fallu importer ce support nécessaire aux écritures. Trois questions découlent de ce constat : d'où provient le papier utilisé en si grande abondance?Quelles sont les circonstances de l'importation du papier, les sources d'approvisionnement en papier et les voies empruntées pour son transport? Qui sont les utilisateurs du papier et à quelles fins en font-ils usage? L'étude des caractéristiques du papier d'écriture à partir de ...
