The overall goal of this volume is to elaborate a more sophisticated "social history
of colonialism" by focusing largely on the eighteenth century, extending roughly from
1700 until the conclusion of the Age of Revolutions in the 1830s. By critically examining
legal practices and litigation in the French colonial world, in both its Atlantic
and Oceanic extensions, this volume of essays has sought to interrogate the naturalized
equation between law and empire, an idea premised on the idea of law as a set of doctrines
and codified procedures originating in the metropolis and then transmitted to the
colonies. This book advances new approaches and methods in writing a history of the
French empire, one which views state authority as more unstable and contested. Voices
in the Legal Archives proposes to remedy the under-theorized state of France's first
colonial empire, as opposed to its post-1830 imperial expressions empire, which have
garnered far more scholarly attention
