Promoting the Colonial Idea Propaganda and

Challenging the notion that there was no "popular imperialism" in France, this book examines the importance of France's colonial role in the development of French society and culture after 1870. It assesses the impact of colonial propaganda on public attitudes and the relationship between imperialism, republicanism, and nationalism. It analyzes the representations of empire, traces the development of a colonial "science" and discusses the enduring importance of images and symbols of empire in contemporary France.

Tony Chafer is Principal Lecturer in French and African Studies at the School of Languages and Area Studies, University of Portsmouth.

Amanda Sackur is Senior Lecturer in International History at London Guildhall University.
