A mission to civilize / Alice L. Conklin
Titre : A mission to civilize : the republican idea of empire in France and West Africa, 1895-1930 / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alice L. Conklin Editeur : Stanford, Calif. : Stanford University Press Année de publication : 1997 Importance : x, 367 p. Présentation : ill., maps Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-8047-2999-9 Index. décimale : 960 CON Résumé : This book addresses a central but often ignored question in the history of modern France and modern colonialism: How did the Third Republic, highly regarded for its professed democratic values, allow itself to be seduced by the insidious and persistent appeal of a "civilizing" ideology with distinct racist overtones? By focusing on a particular group of colonial officials in a specific setting - the governors general of French West Africa from 1895 to 1930 - the author argues that the ideal of a special civilizing mission had a decisive impact on colonial policymaking and on the evolution of modern French republicanism generally.
