In The Agency of Empire: Connections and Strategies in French
Expansion (1686-1746) Elisabeth Heijmans places directors and their
connections at the centre of the developments and operations of
French overseas companies. The focus on directors' decisions and
networks challenges the conception of French overseas companies as
highly centralized and controlled by the state. Through the cases
of companies operating in Pondicherry (Coromandel Coast) and Ouidah
(Bight of Benin), Elisabeth Heijmans demonstrates the participation
of actors not only in Paris but also in provinces, ports and
trading posts in the French expansion. The analysis brings to the
fore connections across imperial, cultural and religious boundaries
in order to diverge from traditional national narratives of the
French early modern empire.
