"The broad scope, multidisciplinary sensibility, and archival rigor
make The Black Populations of France a treasure-trove of innovative
study and historiographic information. The book can be adopted for
courses connected to Black Europe, France, colonization and
decolonization, overseas territories, race, national identity and
citizenship, and more."—Christy L. Pichichero, Journal of
Modern History
“A needed expansion and corrective to the history of France, whose
long-standing and diverse Black populations remain insufficiently
explored. The originality of this book also resides in its
geographical reach, as it extends beyond the metropole to a vast
overseas territorial divide. . . . At the same time [it elucidates]
the temporal fluidity of race and Blackness in these geographies,
which contradict and complicate France’s cherished ideals of
universalism and citizenship.”—Trica Keaton, coeditor of Black
France / France Noire: The History and Politics of Blackness
