Mondes virtuels : les représentations des peuples d’Afrique de l’ouest par les cartes postales, 1895-1935
Le Temps des médias n°8, printemps 2007, p.75-104This essay examines picture postcards, an important medium at the beginning of the 20th century, which represented peoples in colonial West Africa.
