Laurie M. Wood examines the administrative and judicial structures of France’s colonial expansion across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. By focusing on the lives of clerks, legal officials, and colonial subjects, the work reconstructs the bureaucratic networks that sustained imperial power. This study offers a detailed analysis of how legal systems were adapted and enforced within diverse maritime territories.
