| Summary, etc. | The French Revolution brought about profound upheavals in the Old Regime colonial system, starting with the abolition of slavery in February 1794. At the same time, the revolutionary events in the French colonies led to the flight of thousands of people, some of whom made their way to metropolitan France. Between 1793 and 1802, relief in the form of monthly sums of money was granted to these “refugees and deportees from the colonies”, without any racial distinction. Through a study of relief archives in Bordeaux, Nantes and Le Havre, this article examines the revolutionary transformations in racialization practices, between the abolition of the Old Regime “police des noirs” and the re-establishment of slavery in 1802. It reveals a certain discrepancy between legislation that abolished all legal distinctions between slaves and freemen, as well as all racial differentiation, and the random persistence of racial categorizations in local administrative practices. The mobilization of these racial denominations, rather than creating inequalities in relief, was more indicative of a citizenship weakened by other criteria – social status, the situation of dependence inherited from slavery, the absence of social insertion in a place of residence – which did not prevent people thus weakened from defending their rights by calling on a diverse range of strategies. By formally re-establishing a racial hierarchy and racial discriminations, the Consulate put an end to the ambiguous racialization practices that coexisted with the legal existence of universal citizenship during the revolutionary decade. |
