Régent, Frédéric [Verfasser]

Paris : Pluriel, [2012?]

353 Seiten : Karten ; 18 cm

"The book of Frédéric Régent, made possible by the renewal of the historiography of the operation of the French slave societies, fills a gap and helps answer many questions: How have the French been led to become enslavers? Why did they choose to resort to trafficking negroes? How were notions of whites and blacks invented? What is the profit that France draws from the slave economy? What are the limits of the exploitation of the slaves? How was France restored after having slavery abolished? What roles did slaves and abolitionists play respectively in the process of emancipation?" -- Translated from back of book
