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. -- .
