Book excerpt: This collection of essays investigates the fundamental role that the loss of colonial territories at the end of the Ancient Regime and post-World War II has played in shaping French memories and colonial discourses. In identifying loss and nostalgia as key tropes in cultural representations, these essays call for a re-evaluation of French colonialism as a discourse informed not just by narratives of conquest, but equally by its histories of defeat.

Book Synopsis The French Colonial Imagination by : Nicola Frith
Download or read book The French Colonial Imagination written by Nicola Frith and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Colonial Imagination examines France’s critical response to the Indian uprisings of 1857–58 and their brutal suppression by the British. Drawing from texts produced during the Second Empire and the early Third Republic, Nicola Frith foregrounds the extent to which British India acted as a counter-narrative in the construction of France’s rival colonial discourse and its emerging “civilizing mission” alongside France’s persistent desire to compensate for its “loss” of India at the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lost Empires of the Modern World: Essays in Imperial History The world is continually being reminded that in the arts of empire the English are mere plagiarists, stupid plagiarists who have spoilt what they have stolen. They have not, so it is affirmed, one single original or admirable quality. They were not great discoverers like the Portuguese, or a great Christianizing power like the Spaniards. They have not the art of conciliating natives like the French, nor even of making themselves beloved by their own colonists. They have not even the wits to make their empire pay like the Dutch. They roll up, everywhere, mountains of debt; they extort only that they may squander. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Building the French empire, 1600–1800 by : Benjamin Steiner
Download or read book Building the French empire, 1600–1800 written by Benjamin Steiner and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the shared history of the French empire from the perspective of material culture in order to re-evaluate the participation of colonial, Creole, and indigenous agency in the construction of imperial spaces. The decentred approach to a global history of the French colonial realm allows a new understanding of power relations in different locales. Providing case studies from four parts of the French empire, the book draws on illustrative evidence from the French archives in Aix-en-Provence and Paris as well as local archives in each colonial location. The case studies, in the Caribbean, Canada, Africa, and India, each examine building projects to show the mixed group of planners, experts, and workers, the composite nature of building materials, and elements of different ‘glocal’ styles that give the empire its concrete manifestation. Building the French empire gives a view of the French overseas empire in the early modern period not as a consequence or an outgrowth of Eurocentric state-building, but rather as the result of a globally interconnected process of empire-building.
Book Synopsis Music, Travel, and Imperial Encounter in 19th-Century France by : Ruth Rosenberg
Download or read book Music, Travel, and Imperial Encounter in 19th-Century France written by Ruth Rosenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the activities and writings of early song collectors and proto-ethnomusicologists, memoirists, and other "musical travelers" in 19th-century France. Each of the book’s discrete but interrelated chapters is devoted to a different geographic and discursive site of empire, examining French representations of musical encounters in North America, the Middle East, as well as in contested areas within the borders of metropolitan France. Rosenberg highlights intersections between an emergent ethnographie musicale in France and narratives of musical encounter found in French travel literature, connecting both phenomena to France’s imperial aspirations and nationalist anxieties in the period from the Revolution to the late-nineteenth century. It is therefore an excellent research tool for scholars in the fields of ethnomusicology, musicology, cultural studies, literary history, and postcolonial studies.
