What if we begin modern French history in 1659, when France established a foothold in West Africa to enter the slave trade rather than in the conventional revolutionary year of 1789? This paper focuses on working households in western Brittany where enslaved (mostly male) teenagers were placed, in theory to be educated as Catholics and trained in a trade, to explore the daily racial dynamics of the emergence of a multi-racial population in France.
