Emmanuelle Saada is associate professor of French at Columbia University. Arthur Goldhammer is an award-winning translator who has translated books by Georges Duby, Jacques Le Goff, and Jean Starobinski.
"Empire's Children is a brilliant and deeply researched exploration of the place of race in the French citizenship experience, focusing on the rights of mixed-race people in French Indochina and other colonies. Emmanuelle Saada deftly weaves together the perspectives of jurists, colonial officials, journalists, and the mixed-raced individuals themselves to demonstrate why the French Empire - and by extension, today's France - cannot be analyzed in black-and-white terms. A nuanced and important account, beautifully translated by Arthur Goldhammer." (Mary Dewhurst Lewis, Harvard University)"
