Philip P. Boucher's "France and the American Tropics to 1700: Tropics of Discontent?" examines the history of French colonization and commercial activities in the Caribbean and parts of South America up to the year 1700. The book utilizes a wide array of primary and secondary sources, including missionary accounts, colonial promoters' writings, and legal documents, to explore the development of French settlements, the challenges faced by colonists, and the evolving social and economic structures, including indentured servitude and the early stages of African slavery. Boucher investigates the complexities of establishing and maintaining these tropical colonies, the interactions between the French, indigenous populations (like the Kalinago), and other European powers, as well as the evolving relationship between the colonies and the French crown. Ultimately, the work seeks to provide a comprehensive narrative of France's early endeavors in the American tropics and the factors that shaped their trajectory.
