Reviews

The Colonial Unconscious is a smart, subtle, and carefully argued book that raises more questions than it answers, and that is part of its strength. Elizabeth Ezra defamiliarizes the banality of racist rhetoric and invites a reexamination of the French colonial legacy. -Francoise Lionnet, University of California, Los Angeles

Ezra's slender yet dense volume is the latest contribution to the growing scholarly literature on the history of colonial representations and their impact on collective mentalities during the interwar period, a relatively new field that enriches the already substantal corpus of works analyzing political, social, and economic dimensions of French colonialism. -Brett Bowles, Iowa State University, H-France Book Reviews Sept. 2003.
