By Chikako Hirano *A History of French Colonialism: From the Abolition of Slavery to the Collapse of the Colonial Empire* (Jinbun Shoin / Published January 30, 2002) This book is a research study that analyzes French colonialism in relation to the home country, starting with the question of why the abolitionists of the 19th century were also proponents of colonial expansion. It provides an overview of the history of colonialism spanning approximately 150 years, covering Algeria, West Africa, Indochina, the Caribbean region, and more, and also considers the post-World War II national independence movements and the revival of Creole culture. It is an ambitious work that unravels the logic of "colonization = civilization" and the contradictions that existed between humanitarianism and imperialism, offering perspectives that are also relevant to the historical understanding of modern French society.
