Résumé
'The essays in this book analyze aspects of colonialism through investigations into the art, popular literature, material culture, film, and exhibitions that represented, celebrated, or were created for France's colonies across the seas. These studies draw from documents and media-photographs, albums, postcards, maps, posters, advertisements, and children's games-related to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century French Empire.' ; 'By the end of World War I, having fortified its colonial holdings in the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Asia, France had expanded its dominion to the four corners of the earth. This volume examines how the French Empire encouraged a vibrant and engaging material culture--from commercial as well as political sources--to normalize its colonial project and racialized ideas of life in the empire. Drawing from documents and media held in the Getty Research Institute's ACHAC collections, Visualizing Empire analyzes aspects of colonialism manifest in the art, popular literature, games, maps, films, and exhibitions that represented, celebrated, or were created for France's colonies across the seas.'
