In the history of the modern state, Africa has been continually depicted in sharp contrast to Europe and its ostensibly special developmental path. However, Benjamin Steiner shows how the formation of nation states in Europe depended on European involvement in the larger Atlantic world, and writes a history of knowledge and encounter between France and parts of Africa during the time of Jean-Baptiste Colbert.
