French leaders, trying to hold on to a large French polity, debated how much autonomy and how much equality they could concede. Both sides looked to versions of federalism as alternatives to empire and the nation-state. The French government had to confront the high costs of an empire of citizens, while Africans could not agree with French leaders or among themselves on how to balance their contradictory imperatives. Cooper shows how both France and its former colonies backed into more "national" conceptions of the state than either had sought.
Frederick Cooper is professor of history at New York University and has been visiting professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, the Ecole Normale Superieure, and the Universite de Paris VII. His many books include Colonialism in Question and Empires in World History (Princeton).
