Emmanuelle Saade, "Empire's Children: Race, Filiation, and Citizenship in the French Colonies," University of Chicago
Press, 2012, 344 pp. As a tangent to abduction of children by colonial empires, there is the need for the empire
to define racial rules, ie., who can be accepted as a citizen and who continues to be the Other. Emmanuelle
Saade found a 1928 French colonial law interpreting race and citizenship and compares French colonial administration
in North Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia from the late 19th through decolonization. In other words, which
children are metis and which are not.
