Exploring the rich history of French colonialism, this collection showcases various aspects of French settlements around the world. From the challenges of establishing a presence in Madagascar, as depicted in 'The Madagascar Difficulty' and 'Sketches at Majunga Bay,' to the vibrant cultures and people of the island in 'The French in Madagascar: Places and People.' Elsewhere, tensions arose over resources, as seen in 'The Newfoundland Fishery Dispute' and 'The Crisis in China.' And the consequences of colonial rule were evident in the burning of the French settlement at Chandannagore, Hoogly, as captured in 'Burning Ghat.'
