The French Atlantic Triangle: Literature and Culture of the Slave Trade Miller Christopher L.
The French slave trade forced more than one million Africans across the Atlantic to the islands of the Caribbean. Yet the impact of the slave trade on the cultures of France and its colonies has received surprisingly little attention. It enabled France to establish Saint-Domingue, the single richest colony on earth, and it connected France, Africa, and the Caribbean permanently.
The distinguished scholar Christopher L. Until recently, France had not publicly acknowledged its history as a major slave-trading power. Miller proposes a thorough assessment of the French slave trade and its cultural ramifications, in a broad, circum-Atlantic 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
