The Color of Liberty addresses four major themes: the evolution of race as an idea in France; representations of "the other" in French literature, art, government, and trade; the international dimensions of French racial thinking, particularly in relation to colonialism; and the impact of racial differences on the shaping of the modern French city. The many permutations of race in French history—as assigned identity, consumer product icon, scientific discourse, philosophical problem, by-product of migration, or tool in empire building—here receive nuanced treatments confronting the malleability of ideas about race and the uses to which they have been put.

Free Soil in the Atlantic World examines the principle that slaves who crossed particular territorial frontiers- from European medieval cities to the Atlantic nation states of the nineteenth century- achieved their freedom. Based upon legislation and judicial cases, each essay considers the legal origins of Free Soil and the context in which it was invoked: medieval England, Toulouse and medieval France, early modern France and the Mediterranean, the Netherlands, eighteenth-century Portugal, nineteenth-century Angola, nineteenth-century Spain and Cuba, and the Brazilian-Paraguay borderlands. On the one hand, Free Soil policies were deployed by weaker polities to attract worker-settlers; however, by the eighteenth century, Free Soil was increasingly invoked by European imperial centres to distinguish colonial regimes based in slavery from the privileges and liberties associated with the metropole.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Slavery and Abolition.

C’est une saga politique qui est dessinée dans ce livre, au travers du destin d’une famille tenue en esclavage dans l’océan Indien. Il s’agit de Madeleine, jeune Bengalie esclave, vendue en Inde à une femme célibataire, puis à une famille qu’elle accompagne depuis la France jusqu’à La Réunion. Pour elle et pour ses enfants, surtout pour Furcy, son fils benjamin, la question de l’affranchissement est centrale. Après le décès de sa mère, Furcy se lance dans un combat pour la liberté devant les cours françaises et britanniques qui va durer plusieurs décennies. Cette lutte de toute une famille d’esclaves a permis de redéfinir l’esclavage et la liberté au XIXe siècle.Cet ouvrage d’histoire a obtenu en 2017 le prix Pinkney de la Society for French Historical Studies, en tant que meilleur livre américain en histoire française.
