Reviews

"""This is a major contribution to the historiography of colonial central Africa and the growing literature on the concessionary model used in many different colonial contexts."" - Jeremy Rich, Professor of History, Marywood University ""This compelling book unveils the importance of hubris and self-deception in the deployment of colonial capitalism.　Henriet recreates Leverville as a capitalistic site and a matrix of emotions and affects, of virtuous excesses and moral failures. His concept of 'impotence, ' broadly conceptualized as a sexual, social, political, and economic formation, is an important addition to our knowledge of relations of power in the colony."" - Florence Bernault, Centre d'histoire, Sciences Po (Paris)"
