France experienced a period of crisis following World War I when
the relationship between the nation and its colonies became a
subject of fierce public debate. "The French Imperial Nation-State"
focuses on two intersecting movements that redefined imperial
politics - colonial humanism, led by administrative reformers in
West Africa, and the Paris-based Negritude project, comprising
African and Caribbean elites. Gary Wilder develops a sophisticated
account of the contradictory character of colonial government and
examines the cultural nationalism of Negritude as a multifaceted
movement rooted in an alternative black public sphere. He argues
that interwar France must be understood as an imperial nation-state
- an integrated sociopolitical system that linked a parliamentary
republic to an administrative empire. An interdisciplinary study of
colonial modernity combining French history, colonial studies, and
social theory, The French Imperial Nation-State will compel readers
to revise conventional assumptions about the distinctions between
republicanism and racism, metropolitan and colonial societies, and
national and transnational processes.
