This book offers the first comprehensive study of 'sites of memory'
in France connected to the history of French imperialism and
colonialism, and the ways that the French have remembered or
forgotten their colonial past. Through a study of monuments,
memorials, museum collections and other 'sites of memory' in France
connected with France's overseas empire this book analyzes the way
in which French authorities marked the Paris and provincial
landscapes with these reminders of France's colonial 'mission'
during the period of imperial expansion, and the fate of these
sites in the post-colonial period and what that evolution reveals
about French memory and amnesia of the colonial epoch.
