The decades between 1670 and 1730 were the most formative in the
history of the French colonies in the Americas. A sufficient number
of migrants arrived from France and Africa to create settlements,
establish economies of production, develop networks of exchange and
trade, and adapt institutions of government and law to give
substance and form to their resulting societies. Elusive Empire was
the first full account of how during these years French settlers
came to the Americas. It examines how they and thousands of African
slaves together with Amerindians constructed settlements and
produced and traded commodities for export. Bringing together much
evidence, the author explores how the newly constructed societies
and new economies, without precedent in France, interacted with the
growing international violence in the Atlantic world in order to
present a fresh perspective of the multifarious French colonizing
experience in the Americas.
