Challenging the notion that there was no "popular imperialism" in France, this book examines the importance of France's colonial role in the development of French society and culture after 1870. It assesses the impact of colonial propaganda on public attitudes and the relationship between imperialism, republicanism, and nationalism. It analyzes the representations of empire, traces the development of a colonial "science" and discusses the enduring importance of images and symbols of empire in contemporary France.Chafer, Tony is the author of 'Promoting the Colonial Idea Propaganda and Visions of Empire in France' with ISBN 9780333791806 and ISBN 0333791800.
