Originally written by Armand Corre in 1889, Crime in Creole Countries: Sketch of Criminal Ethnography establishes a natural history of crime as it has been observed in countries of old French tradition where racial divides are present and fueled by differences in tendencies, interests, and aptitudes, despite the apparent unitary formula of metropolitan assimilation. This firsthand account of the time in which the French colonies within the West Indies were transitioning from slavery to emancipation was originally intended for magistrates and doctors of the colonies, showing them under what conditions, and under what motives (those being sometimes obscured or concealed) the crimes under their appraisal occurred. Scholars of criminology, race studies, Francophone studies, and history will find this book particularly useful.
