Empire of Love by Matt K Matsuda
Tracing the Pacific and colonial history, this book consists of multiple studies of the interconnections between culture and imperial power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It examines the European presence in contested territories such as Tahiti, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna, and the conflict in Panama, Indochina, and Japan.
Matsuda offers engaging and well-written vignettes of French imperial experience as lived and remembered which, are explored through literary and archival evidenceThe book succeeds, to a considerable extent, in articulating the place of love and desire in the imperial project. Even readers who disagree with Matsuda's argument may be seduced by the stimulating ideas in this work. * Joseph Zizek, The International History Review *
