"Overall, Colonial Culture in France is a very wellwritten book that showcases the potential benefits of
multi-authorship as well as the ability of scholars to simultaneously reach both academic and non-academic audiences. It could be recommended to readers interested in various aspects of France?s (post-)colonial history as well those seeking to understand contemporary French society, whether in the Élysée Palace or the banlieues of greater Paris." ?H-War
