France's Lost Empires brings together ten essays that collectively investigate the historical, cultural, and political legacies of French colonialism and, specifically, the endings of the French empire(s). Combining analyses of three "lost" territories (Canada, India, and Saint Dominigue) of the "first" French colonial empire, that of the Ancien Regime, with investigations of the decolonization of the "new" colonies of the "second" French overseas empire (specifically in North Africa), the essays presented here investigate the ways in whicih colonial loss has been absorbed and narrativized within French culture and society, and how nostalgia for that past has played a fundamental role in shaping French colonial discourses and memories. Beginning with the Haitian Revolution and its historicization during the 1820s and ending with an examination of the "postcolonial" republic at the end of the twentieth century, the chronological structure of the volume serves to reveal the extent to which the memories of territorial loss have been sustained throughout French colonial history and remain evident in current metropolitan representations and memories of empire. In analyzing the longevity of these tropes of loss and nostalgia, and their importance in shaping France's identity as a colonial power both during and after periods of colonization, France's Lost Empires reveals a basic premise: it is not simply successful conquest which creates a self-validating colonial discourse; failure can do so too. Indeed, the pervasive and tenacious nostalgia for past colonial glories, variously identified by the contributors to this volume, suggests that, for some, the emotional attachment to France's colonies has not waned and remians today as it was in nineteenth-century France.

Recenzijas

This excellent collection of essays on the aftermath of the loss of Empire makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on post-colonial memory and nostalgia. Covering the period from the collapse of the first French colonial empire to the end of the second, it is essential reading for scholars, students and anyone interested in the cultural, intellectual and political legacies of France's imperial past. -- Patricia Lorcin, University of Minnesota This volume constitutes an important contribution to a more complex understanding of the evolution of French colonialism from the 18th to the 20th century. Through its focus on fracture, loss and nostalgia, the text reveals how earlier waves of colonialism inspired colonial actors and ideologues in later centuries. In particular, Kate Marshs introduction provides a brilliant overview of the issues at stake in developing greater historical awareness within the field of Francophone postcolonial studies. -- David Murphy, University of Stirling This book captures a real intellectual exchange between scholars from several continents, with diverse chronological, national, linguistic, and disciplinary interests. The articles engage with each other and thus make visible how thinking with Lost India crystallizes certain common themes and upends some problematic commonplaces in postcolonial studies. The authors explore infelicitous chronologies; forgetting and memory; the intersections between territorial holdings and imaginary maps; and the extra-European as foundational for thinking intra-European conflicts. They all highlight how crossing boundariesbetween British, French, and Mughal empires; early modern and modern historiesallows for new thinking. This, then, is a book about French Indiawhere actual colonialism always references lost hopes and persistent yet out of reach possibilitiesthat will allow scholars to see that the time has come to resituate French colonial histories in larger contexts, what Kate Marsh identifies as global concerns. -- Todd Shepard, Johns Hopkins University Those interested in particular areas of the French empire, or the general phenomenon of the place of colonialism in French society and culture, will find valuable essays here to attract them. * H-France Review * This original contribution to postcolonial studies offers several articles that will be of interest to specialists and generalists alike. * Oxford Journals *
