This is an innovative study of how race and empire transformed
French republican citizenship in the early Third Republic.
Elizabeth Heath integrates the histories of the wine-producing
department of Aude and the sugar-producing colony of Guadeloupe to
reveal the ways in which empire was integral to the Third
Republic's ability to stabilize a republican regime that began to
unravel in an age of economic globalization. She shows how global
economic factors shaped negotiations between local citizens and the
Third Republic over the responsibilities of the Republic to its
citizens leading to the creation of two different and unequal forms
of citizenship that became constitutive of the interwar imperial
nation-state and the French welfare-state. Her findings shed
important new light on the tensions within republicanism between
ideals of liberty and equality and on the construction of race as a
meaningful social category at a foundational moment in French
history.
