What is Contes Americains (University of Exeter Press - Exeter French Texts) about?

These three tales, hailed by Diderot among others, but unpublished for over a century (and in one case for nearly two centuries), are a fictional exploration of Otherness and the intercultural set in the New World, either among native Americans (Abenakis, Iroquois) or runaway slaves in Jamaica befriended by Quakers. They argue powerfully for a reassessment of the philosophe Saint-Lambert, since they represent a significant contribution to the anti-slavery debate of the time and to a consideration of cultural relativity, revitalised by recent postcolonial discourses.This title is Volume 99 in the series Exeter French Texts/Textes littraires. It includes an introduction, select bibliography and essential notes, all in French.
