The Abolitions of Slavery
The anti-slavery movement, which followed in the wake of the European slave trade, has attracted much less attention than the latter. This is particularly true for the abolition movement in the French colonies.

The Life of Handel
Victor Schoelcher (1804-1893) was a French writer chiefly remembered for his part in the fight for the abolition of slavery. In America on business in 1829-1830, he was so appalled by the conditions he found that he became an abolitionist campaigner, concentrating his writings on conditions in the French Caribbean islands. He became President of the French commission for abolition and achieved his goal when in 1848 the French government abolished slavery in all its colonies. Schoelcher went into political exile for nearly twenty years after the coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, and during this time he pursued his other great interest, music. His Life of Handel, translated into English by James Lowe, was published in 1857. It was regarded as one of the finest biographies ever written, and it was ahead of its time in the amount of research into primary sources which the author had undertaken.

The Abolitions of Slavery
These papers demonstrate the complexity of the historical processes leading up to the abolition of slavery in 1793-1794, and again in 1848, marked by Bonaparte's restoration of the former colonial regime in 1802.
La destruction des statues de Victor Schoelcher en Martinique
Cet ouvrage présente une lecture critique de la destruction de deux statues de Victor Schoelcher, en Martinique, le 22 mai 2020. L'écho de cette destruction dans les manifestations du mouvement « Black Lives Matter » faisant suite à l'assassinat de George Floyd a pris la forme d'une vague inédite de démontage ou de destruction de statues témoignant d'une histoire esclavagiste et coloniale. Rodolphe Solbiac analyse les destructions de statues de Schoelcher comme la dénonciation d'une représentation hégémonique de la mémoire française coloniale et esclavagiste par des monuments et des noms de rues, d'une part, et l'exigence de réparations et de justice pour les Martiniquais·es d'ascendance africaine, d'autre part.
