Majumdar Text3 8/5/07 19:33 Page I Majumdar Postcoloniality Th e French Dimension Postcoloniality Margaret A. Majumdar Th e French Dimension ‘Postcolonial theory’ has become one of the key issues of scholarly debates worldwide – debates, so the author argues, which have become rather sterile and are characterised by a repetitive reworking of old hackneyed issues, focusing on cultural questions of language and identity in particular. Gradually, a gulf has emerged between Anglophone and Francophone thinking in this area. Th e author investigates the causes for the apparent stagnation that has overtaken Postcoloniality much of the current debate and explores the particular characteristics of French global strategy and cultural policy, as well as the divergent responses to theories on globalisation. Outlining in particular the contribution of thinkers such as Césaire, Senghor, Memmi, Sartre and Fanon to the worldwide development of anti-imperialist ideas, she off ers a critical perspective on the ongoing diffi culties of France’s relationship with its colonial and postcolonial Others. With fresh insights and sharp analysis, this important study presents powerful suggestions for new lines of thought that are currently emerging in the Francophone world and aims to revitalize and take these debates forward. MARGARET A. MAJUMDAR is Visiting Professor of Francophone Studies at the University of Portsmouth.

Majumdar text3 8/5/07 19:33 Page ix Introduction n many ways, the erstwhile European colonial powers are still living in the Ipostcolonial age, in spite of indications that a new era is coming into place. They remain profoundly marked by the lasting impact of their imperialist adventures, as do those whose lands were brought under imperial control, though to varying degrees and in different ways. Their economies and societies, their cultures and values, their relations with other countries, even their present demographic make-up, all bear the imprint of the colonial past. However, while Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal share many of the main traits of their history and its legacy, there are also clear differences between them. France is not living through the postcolonial experience in exactly the same way as its neighbours. Similarly, its former colonies and protectorates bear the distinct marks of their specific experiences of French rule, influence and culture. Whether one attributes the rise of the European empires to an almost absent- minded process of chance development, to a systemic and determined set of structural processes or to the triumph of the will, born out of a sense of mission, there are certainly pronounced differences with regard to the ideologies and discourses, through which the different powers rationalised their imperialist enterprises, as well as the systems of rule and administration they set in place. These differences are also reflected in the counter-discourses that developed to challenge the imperial hegemony of the various colonial empires. Moreover, these ideological differences have continued beyond the formal end of empire, assuming new forms appropriate to the changing global context. It is the specificity of the French dimension of postcoloniality that forms the main object of this book, which in no way intends to provide a comprehensive history of all aspects of French imperialism. It will become clear, however, that this specificity cannot be equated with autonomy. In the first place, the French imperialist dynamic has been from the outset part and parcel of the global phenomenon of imperialism that has by now affected practically all areas of the planet. Furthermore, the interrelations and interactions have not been confined to the economic, political and military domain, but have also operated in the domain of culture and ideas. The imperial powers have never hesitated to borrow certain concepts or values from each other when it was opportune to do so. This is just as true in the case of the anti-imperialist struggles, where the common dimension to the struggle was often grasped through recourse to an internationalist perspective.

Majumdar text3 8/5/07 19:33 Page x x | Postcoloniality In the case of all the European imperial powers, there had developed, at more or less the same time, the same underlying processes that made these countries look beyond their own borders for wealth acquisition, trade and later territory. Similarly, the formal end of each empire did not occur in a vacuum, but was part of a global process of decolonisation and restructuring of power relations. Nonetheless, the hegemonic discourse of French imperialism assumed specific distinctive forms, as did the counter-hegemonic discourses, which arose to challenge it. This specific distinctiveness has persisted into the contemporary period. The early voyages of discovery and opportunities for

Les mesures prises sur le plan national, concrétisées par l’état d’urgence sanitaire, sont la preuve d’une situation de catastrophe. Nous devons poursuivre nos eFForts sur l’application des gestes barrières, persévérer dans un respect très strict du conFinement. La mobilisation de tous pour une meilleure prise de conscience du public des dangers de la propagation de ce virus est une priorité vitale. Il Faut briser toute propagation rapide, encore plus compte tenu de notre situation insulaire. Pour l’application des mesures de protection sanitaire, des ajustements spéciFiques doivent mobiliser tous les acteurs, économiques, sociaux et politiques. Nous sommes un territoire captiF, avec une population vieillissante, donc une cible privilégiée du Covid-19. L’adaptation à la diFFérence et le souci du particulier prennent dans ce contexte une signiFication très impérieuse. Il est donc pour nous urgent d’aller plus loin.
