  France experienced a period of crisis following World War I when the relationship between the nation and its colonies became a subject of fierce public debate. This book focuses on two intersecting movements that redefined imperial politics - colonial humanism, led by administrative reformers in West Africa, and the Paris-based Negritude project.
