In By Flesh and Toil, Mélanie Lamotte explores the rise of the French Empire across both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Charting the development of a pan-imperial legal culture of race, she also shows how people of African, Malagasy, South Asian, and Native American descent played key roles in shaping the Empire and setting its limits.
