Product Description

There Are No Slaves in France examines the paradoxical emergence of political antislavery and institutional racism in the century prior to the French Revolution. Sue Peabody shows how the political culture of late Bourbon France created ample opportunities for contestation over the meaning of freedom. Based on various archival sources, this work will be of interest not only to historians of slavery and France, but to scholars interested in the emergence of modern culture in the Atlantic world.

Examines the paradox of political anti-slavery and institutional racism in the century prior to the French Revolution. Through studying the confrontations between the principal of freedom and the fact of slavery, this book examines how French national myths concerning liberty were transformed by the presence of enslaved blacks in the metropolis.
