Long repressed following the collapse of empire, memories of the
French colonial experience have recently gained unprecedented
visibility. In popular culture, scholarly research, personal
memoirs, public commemorations, and new ethnicities associated with
the settlement of postcolonial immigrant minorities, the legacy of
colonialism is now more apparent in France than at any time in the
past. How is this upsurge of interest in the colonial past to be
explained? Does the commemoration of empire necessarily imply
glorification or condemnation? To what extent have previously
marginalized voices succeeded in making themselves heard in new
narratives of empire? While veils of secrecy have been lifted, what
taboos still remain and why? These are among the questions
addressed by an international team of leading researchers in this
interdisciplinary volume, which will interest scholars in a wide
range of disciplines including French studies, history, literature,
cultural studies, and anthropology.

Everything Here Is a Lie. Only fools trust anything the First Ones
say, do or think. You have been warned. The First Ones - the name
strikes terror into the heart of the people of Exodus. They are the
bogeymen, formed of living shadow, that stalk the people. They
control monsters and abominations that are loose upon the world.
They snatch children and lone travelers. They torture men for their
own pleasure and cavort with fiends to do their dark bidding. Those
are but myths. The truth is far worse. "The First Ones" is the name
given to a group of humanoid creatures who ruled Exodus before the
Age of Man. Today, the First Ones include five races: the Aneishi,
the Exodites, the Khaynites, the Kroca and the Kobura. In days
past, each race served a specific purpose, but with the rise of the
Kaga and the destruction of their empire, the First Ones remain
roughly united by their desire to return to power and to once again
relish in luxury while others toil for their pleasure and their
comfort. This supplement includes: History of the First Ones Using
the First Ones and First One Enclaves History and Races of the

Part murder mystery, part social history of political violence,
Lethal Provocation is a forensic examination of the deadliest
peacetime episode of anti-Jewish violence in modern French history.
Joshua Cole reconstructs the 1934 riots in Constantine, Algeria, in
which tensions between Muslims and Jews were aggravated by
right-wing extremists, resulting in the deaths of twenty-eight
people. Animating the unrest was Mohamed El Maadi, a soldier in the
French army. Later a member of a notorious French nationalist group
that threatened insurrection in the late 1930s, El Maadi became an
enthusiastic supporter of France's Vichy regime in World War II,
and finished his career in the German SS. Cole cracks the "cold
case" of El Maadi's participation in the events, revealing both his
presence at the scene and his motives in provoking violence at a
moment when the French government was debating the rights of
Muslims in Algeria. Local police and authorities came to know about
the role of provocation in the unrest and killings and purposely
hid the truth during the investigation that followed. Cole's
sensitive history brings into high relief the cruelty of social
relations in the decades before the war for Algerian independence.
French government officials have long been known Europeans for the
among special attention they give to the state of their population.
In the first half of the nineteenth century, as Paris doubled in
size and twice suffered the convulsions of popular revolution,
civic leaders looked with alarm at what they deemed a dangerous
population explosion. After defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in
1870, however, the falling birthrate generated widespread fears of
cultural and national decline. In response, legislators promoted
larger families and the view that a well-regulated family life was
essential for France.
In this innovative work of cultural history, Joshua Cole
examines the course of French thinking and policymaking on
population issues from the 1780s until the outbreak of the Great
War. During these decades increasingly sophisticated statistical
methods for describing and analyzing such topics as fertility,
family size, and longevity made new kinds of aggregate knowledge
available to social scientists and government officials. Cole
recounts how this information heavily influenced the outcome of
debates over the scope and range of public welfare legislation. In
particular, as the fear of depopulation grew, the state wielded
statistical data to justify increasing intervention in family life
and continued restrictions on the autonomy of women.
Master teachers and scholars, new co-authors Joshua Cole and Carol
Symes integrate new and innovative pedagogical tools based on their
own teaching experiences into this best-selling brief text to help
students think critically, retain key information, and make
connections.
