Full Course

This course examines the complex history of representing Africans, beginning in 1889, when Paris hosted its first colonial exhibition, and concluding with an exploration of postcolonial racism in contemporary France. Using the body as a thematic prism, we will investigate how perception of “indigènes,” “tirailleurs,” “chibanis,” and veiled Muslims, among other figures, was instrumental in shaping French identities and conceptions of difference. Class will be conducted in French.
