"The French Empire Between the Wars" is the first study of the
French Colonial Empire at its zenith in the 20 years following the
First World War. Based on extensive archival research, it address
current debate about French methods of rule and their impact on
colonial peoples, the roots of decolonization, and the role of
popular imperialism in French society and culture.
By considering the distinctiveness of the inter-war years as a
discrete period of colonial change, this book addresses several
larger issues. These include tracing the origins of decolonization
in the rise of colonial rebellions in Africa, Syria, and Indochina.
The book also connects French theories of colonial governance to
the lived experience of colonial rule in a period scarred by war
and economic crises. The author analyzes colonial decision-making
in Paris and the Empire, and considers the role of local
intermediaries in colonial administration. He highlights the
colonial economic conditions, forms of discrimination in the
empire, and the renewed threat of global war to illustrate the
process of French imperial decline.
