The French Atlantic Triangle: Literature And Culture Of The Slave Trade,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The French slave trade forced more than one million Africans across the Atlantic to the islands of the Caribbean. It enabled France to establish SaintDomingue, the single richest colony on earth, and it connected France, Africa, and the Caribbean permanently. Yet the impact of the slave trade on the cultures of France and its colonies has received surprisingly little attention. Until recently, France had not publicly acknowledged its history as a major slavetrading power. The distinguished scholar Christopher L. Miller proposes a thorough assessment of the French slave trade and its cultural ramifications, in a broad, circumAtlantic inquiry. This magisterial work is the first comprehensive examination of the French Atlantic slave trade and its consequences as represented in the history, literature, and film of France and its former colonies in Africa and the Caribbean.Miller offers a historical introduction to the cultural and economic dynamics of the French slave trade, and he shows how Enlightenment thinkers such as Montesquieu and Voltaire mused about the enslavement of Africans, while Rousseau ignored it. He follows the twists and turns of attitude regarding the slave trade through the works of lateeighteenth and earlynineteenthcentury French writers, including Olympe de Gouges, Madame de Stal, Madame de Duras, Prosper Mrime, and Eugne Sue. For these authors, the slave trade was variously an object of sentiment, a moral conundrum, or an entertaining highseas adventure. Turning to twentiethcentury literature and film, Miller describes how artists from Africa and the Caribbeanincluding the writers Aim Csaire, Maryse Cond, and Edouard Glissant, and the filmmakers Ousmane Sembene, Guy Deslauriers, and Roger Gnoan MBalahave confronted the aftermath of Frances slave trade, attempting to bridge the gaps between silence and disclosure, forgetfulness and memory.
