Héritières du glorieux passé légué par les Troupes de la Marine, les Troupes coloniales ont pendant la Grande Guerre forcé l'admiration de tous par leur bravoure et leur esprit de sacrifice. Leur mission n'est pas terminée et leur présence est toujours nécessaire dans les territoires de notre domaine colonial. Les jeunes gens désireux de connaitre ces pays lointains trouveront dans les Troupes coloniales l'occasion de satisfaire leur goût des longs voyages et des aventures. Et si plus tard, attirés par la vie plus large et plus indépendante qu'ils y auront connue, ils désirent se fixer aux colonies après libération, ils trouveront facilement dans nos grandes entreprises coloniales grâce aux connaissances acquises, des conditions et un avenir que la plupart du temps la Métropole ne saurait leur offrir. By the end of World War I, having fortified its colonial holdings in the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Asia, France had expanded its dominion to the four corners of the earth. This volume examines how the French Empire encouraged a vibrant and engaging material culture-from commercial as well as political sources-to normalize its colonial project and racialized ideas of life in the empire. Drawing from documents and media held in the Getty Research Institute's ACHAC collections, Visualizing Empire analyzes aspects of colonialism manifest in the art, popular literature, games, maps, films, and exhibitions that represented, celebrated, or were created for France's colonies across the seas.
