Bloom's unexpected analysis reveals how the project of remaking the colonies in the image of France was integral to its national identity. Bloom focuses on the promotion of French education efforts, hygienic reform, and new agricultural techniques in the colonies as a means of renegotiating the social contract between citizens and the state on an international scale.Documentary filmsFranceHistory and criticismFranceColoniesHistory20th centuryDocumentary filmsHistory and criticism.070.1/8094489.91bclBloom Peter J1482720MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782160503321French colonial documentary3700541UNINA
