The reluctance of French historians to address Atlantic history

Article Abstract:

A paper that discusses the intellectual, institutional, political and cultural reasons behind Atlantic history not being a part of the basic and general French historical culture is illustrated. The French historical school crisis that has remained very national and the non-integration of colonization and slavery into French collective history and memory are the two main factors responsible for the French historians' reluctance to address Atlantic history.
