Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the stark differences between French colonial policy and practice in the periods before and after the French Revolution. The author argues that, contrary to popular belief, France's revolutionary governments were not the first to adopt an exploitative and harmful approach to colonial expansion. Instead, the author demonstrates that the foundations of France's disastrous colonial legacy were laid long before 1789. By delving into the history of French colonization from the 16th to the 18th centuries, the author reveals the essential continuity between the policies of the monarchy and those of the revolutionary governments. In doing so, the book sheds new light on the nature of French colonialism and its profound impact on the lives of colonized peoples.
