Book Summary
The Indian uprisings (1857–58) against British rule in India represent an iconic
period within the history of anti-colonial resistance. Numerous works have
considered these historical events from British and Indian perspectives, but
none have yet questioned how they were viewed by Britain's foremost colonial
rival in India, the French. The French Colonial Imagination examines how the
potential for Britain to lose its most lucrative colony at the hands its own
colonial "subjects" allowed French writers to envisage a world freed from
British dominance. The uprisings offered the attractive possibility that France
could undergo a colonial revival in the wake of British defeat, thereby
reversing the devastating losses inflicted
