At the same time, it connected a vast region as a gathering place of peoples, cultures, and goods. The essays in this collection contextualize St. Louis, exploring French-Native relations, the agency of empire in the Illinois Country, the role of women in “mapping” the French colonial world, fashion and identity, and commodities and exchange in St. Louis as part of a broader politics of consumption in colonial America. The collection also provides a comparative perspective on America’s two great Creole cities, St. Louis and New Orleans. Lastly, it looks at the Frenchness of St. Louis in the nineteenth century and the present.French St. Louis recasts the history of St. Louis and reimagines regional development in the early American republic, shedding light on its francophone history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmBook Series: France Overseas: Studies in Empire and DecolonizationRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
