The Color of Liberty addresses four major themes: the evolution of race as an idea in France; representations of "the other" in French literature, art, government, and trade; the international dimensions of French racial thinking, particularly in relation to colonialism; and the impact of racial differences on the shaping of the modern French city. The many permutations of race in French history-as assigned identity, consumer product icon, scientific discourse, philosophical problem, by-product of migration, or tool in empire building-here receive nuanced treatments confronting the malleability of ideas about race and the uses to which they have been put.
