France's Overseas Frontier: DÃ©partements et

This is a full-length study in English of the 'confetti of empire', the former French colonies which have not gained their independence but remain part of France as the dèpartements et territoires d'outre-mer (DOM-TOMs). More recent French governments have shown a determination to retain these possessions, despite independence movements (notably in New Caledonia) and international criticism. The authors' comprehensive description of the history, economy, geography and politics of the DOM-TOMs will make this the standard English reference on France's overseas territories.
