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 Frances overseas empire this book analyzes the way in which French authorities marked the Paris and provincial landscapes with these reminders of Frances 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.
