Les déclarations parisiennes de non-blancs entre 1738 et 1790
À partir des quelques quatorze cents déclarations de non-blancs faites à l’Amirauté de France (Paris), couvrant les cinquante dernières années de l’Ancien Régime, l’auteur tente d’analyser les sens donnés aux termes décrivant la couleur au cours du XVIIIe siècle. Il note le quasi-monopole du terme nègre tout au long de la période, et rejette l’idée que noir l’aurait remplacé graduellement, comme c’est le cas dans la législation. L’un comme l’autr…

La construction du concept de race dans la France d'Ancien Régime
Lorsqu'il est introduit en France à la fin du XVe siècle, et jusqu'au moins au XVIIe, le terme race a uniquement la connotation de lignée, sans qu'il soit associé à des caractéristiques fixes, soit physiques soit morales. Une transformation pointe au cours du second XVIIe siècle, associée au développement des sciences naturelles et à une meilleure connaissance du monde extra-européen. C'est toutefois l'introduction de la production sucrière aux A…
French Slavery and Modern Political Culture

Needs and Opportunities in French Colonial History
If anything is clear to the student of the history of the early modern French colonial enterprise, it is the need for a general overview to equal Boxer's and Parry's fine volumes on the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish seaborne empires, or George Winius' volume in the Minnesota series. Not that such volumes on the French colonies do not exist, in French. Indeed, there has not been a decade since the 1920s without some such publication. None of them,…

A Report from Canada to ‘Itinerario’
The occasion was the last in a decade of Pacific bicentenary Cook celebrations and marked the landing and four-week stay of Captain Cook in April, 1778, at Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island. The aims of the conference, attended by more than 400 delegates, were to focus on Cook's Third Voyage to the North Pacific Ocean, to bring together international scholars from a wide variety of disciplines to discuss new research and to reconsider earlier assess…
Marchandises de traite et développement industriel dans la France et l'Angleterre du XVIIIe siècle
Did the slave trade, by the quantity of finished goods it required, generate industrial growth ? In Nantes, the middle of the eighteenth century witnessed a burst of industrial activity linked to the slave trade. But the Seven Years' War put an end to this period. The Le Havre-Rouen complex also witnessed an era of industrial growth in the last third of the century, when each town rationalized its activities in relationship to the trade. In that …

Slave Trade, Commercial Organization and Industrial Growth in Eighteenth-Century Nantes
The slave trade was one of the important motors of economic concentration in the eighteenth century. One thesis would even have it that, in England, this commerce was closely tied to the Industrial Revolution. Gaston Martin has suggested a similar pattern in the case of Nantes, the first slave-trading port of France, around which a true industrial revolution is supposed to have taken place, thanks to the armateurs' economic concentration. Hence, …

Eighteenth-Century French Policies Toward Senegal
It is customary for historians to distinguish between two French colonial empires. The first had its origins in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; it blossomed under Colbert and his successors and collapsed in the Seven Years' War. The second, different in nature from the first and immensely more extensive, was tacked on in the early nineteenth century to the tattered remains of its earlier counterpart; it exploded its boundaries…
La Planète des Singes
Y a-t-il des etres humains ailleurs que dans la galaxie ?, se demandent le professeur Antelle, Arthur Levain et Ulysse Merou en observant, de leur vaisseau spatial, le paysage d'une planete curieusement semblable a celui de la Terre. Apres s'y etre poses, les trois hommes decouvrent que cette planete est habitee par des singes
