The Black Populations of France is a study of Black peoples and
their history in France and the French Empire during the modern
era, from the eighteenth century to the present. The contributors
to this collection explore three main axes. The first addresses
circulations-the ways Black populations have moved through the
spaces of metropolitan France and the empire-and focuses on the
actors themselves and the margins of maneuver available to them,
particularly as soldiers, sailors, immigrants, or political
militants. The second considers legacies and the ways the past has
informed the present, addressing themes such as the memory of
slavery, the histories of Black women and gender, and the
historical influence of African Americans on Blacks in France. The
final axis considers racial policy and the ways the state has
shaped racial discourses through the interactions between state
policies and ideas of race developed by individuals, organizations,
and communities. The Black Populations of France makes an important
contribution to both modern French history and the history of the
global Black diaspora. By putting these histories in dialogue with
each other, it underscores the central place of France in world
history.
