| United States historians were probably not an audience Christopher L. Miller had in mind when he wrote The French Atlantic Triangle. By putting slavery and the slave trade at the center of a cultural history of France and the French Atlantic, Miller's analysis of literary texts and films offers a new perspective, one deeply and broadly grounded in historical scholarship. This work is sure to set a new agenda in French cultural studies and should be of interest to historians working on similar issues in North American history. |
