French imaginations in the first half of the twentieth century were easily stirred by the subject of miscegenation — the interbreeding of people classified as belonging to different races. Miscegenation is an ugly word, which itself seems almost to imply that somebody has done something wrong. In fact, this was a commonly held view in early twentieth-century France, but, as I will be suggesting later, it does not tell the whole story. Much has been written on the subject of academic and scientific theories of race and miscegenation.1 Here we are more interested in popular attitudes to miscegenation, in an attempt to elucidate parallels or differences between visions of empire in the minds of those who helped orchestrate and legitimise it, and of those who represented a quite different place in French life
