The Mistral
Entre o património francês e o Património Mundial da Unesco
Este artigo estuda as dinâmicas decolonial e neocolonial que subjazem à designação de Património Mundial da UNESCO, explorando três locais anteriormente administrados por França: Tipasa (na Argélia, inscrita na lista da UNESCO em 1982); Rabat (Marrocos, 2012); e Grand-Bassam (Costa do Marfim, 2012). Sustenta-se que a UNESCO tem servido como plataforma para reescrever narrativas coloniais e também para branquear as histórias globais do imperialism…

Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds
In an impressively engaging volume that connects the recent Ebola epidemic in West Africa with the even more immediate context of the Covid-19 pandemic, Farmer offers some critical lessons that can elucidate not only how we arrived at our current state but also how we might chart a path forward. At its core, Feuds, Fevers, and Diamonds is about the tension between disease control and patient care, and the dangers that can emerge when patients are…
The French Empire Goes to San Francisco
This article explores the French delegation's approach to debates about colonial oversight and accountability that took place at the Conference on International Organization in San Francisco in 1945, where delegates from fifty nations gathered to draft the United Nations (UN) Charter. Drawing on documents from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UN, and the American press, it argues that while French officials at home and in the empire we…
The Colonial Politics of Global Health
The Colonial Politics of Global Health: France and the United Nations in Postwar Africa." The Historian, 81(2), pp. 283–285
Sun-Young Park, Ideals of the Body
Despite recent efforts to decentre the contributions of Napoleon III and Georges-Eugène Haussmann in the story of Paris’s remaking, the Second Empire still looms large in our historical imagination of the changing urban landscape of nineteenth-century France. Historians have filled the pages of countless monographs investigating the history of ‘Haussmannisation’ in the 1850s and ’60s, not to mention the many tomes of Emile Zola’s Rougon-Maquart c…
The Colonial Politics of Global Health
Jessica Lynne Pearson explores the collision between imperial and international visions of health and development in French Africa as postwar decolonization movements gained strength. The consequences of putting politics above public health continue to play out in constraints placed on international health organizations half a century later.
Colonial Politics of Global Health
Richard C. Parks, Medical Imperialism in French North Africa
In Medical Imperialism in French North Africa, Richard C. Parks provides readers with an innovative twist on two familiar stories: the tale of France’s quest for national regeneration and the well-worn trope of colony-as-laboratory. Through an exploration of the problem of regeneration in the hara (Jewish quarter) of Tunis, Parks up-ends the story of the French quest for quality and quantity by demonstrating the ways that the Jewish community of …
Defending Empire at the United Nations
This article argues that, although anti-colonial delegations to the 1945 San Francisco Conference did not succeed in bringing all colonial territories under the umbrella of international trusteeship, the threat of expanding international oversight shaped the relationship between colonial governments and international organisations in powerful ways. By focusing on how the UN Special Committee on Non-Self-Governing Territories evolved as a de facto…
