Review Quotes: At this particular moment in time, when France's minority populations--peoples of color, descendants of empire--are demanding with increasing force that France grapple meaningfully with the nation's past and recalibrate its present conditions of citizenship and belonging, the notion that a citizen of the republic can be 'too Black to be French' is a profoundly necessary provocation.---Kaiama L. Glover, from the Foreword
