This 1992 book is a study of the 'confetti of empire', the former French colonies that remain part of France.
This 1992 book 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 départements et territoires d'outre-mer (DOM-TOMs). More recent French governments have shown a determination to retain these possessions, despite independence movements and international criticism.This 1992 book 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 départements 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.
"This is an excellent piece of work and a veritable mine of information on the history, economy, geography and politics of the DOM-TOMs." The Times Higher
"A needed and valuable addition to collections on French imperialism and decolonization....Its cross-disciplinary approach can serve multiple fields of interest. Highly recommended." Choice
