The introduction by Jeffrey Reitz focuses on the evolution of Breton's distinctive institutional framework, which both extends and in some ways alters John Porter's classic analysis in The Vertical Mosaic. Reitz shows how Breton's original concept of "institutional completeness" has been extended to provide a comprehensive framework for the institutional analysis of inter-ethnic relations, creating a unified theoretical structure that has reshaped the study of inter-ethnic relations in Canada and points toward a future research agenda.

Près d'un demi-siècle après la fin de son empire, la France demeure hantée par son passé colonial. Pourquoi une telle situation, alors que les autres sociétés postcoloniales en Occident travaillent à assumer leur histoire outre-mer ? Pour répondre à cette question Pascal Blanchard, Nicolas Bancel et Sandrine Lemaire ont décidé d'ausculter les prolongements contemporains de ce passé à travers les différentes expressions de la fracture coloniale qui traverse aujourd'hui la société française. Ils ont réuni, dans cette perspective, les contributions originales de spécialistes de diverses disciplines, qui interrogent les mille manières dont les héritages coloniaux font aujourd'hui sentir leurs effets : relations intercommunautaires, ghettoïsation des banlieues, difficultés et blocages de l'intégration, manipulation des mémoires, conception de l'histoire nationale, politique étrangère, action humanitaire, place des DOM-TOM dans l'imaginaire national ou débats sur la laïcité et l'islam de France… Les auteurs montrent que la situation contemporaine n'est pas une reproduction à l'identique du « temps des colonies » : elle est faite de métissages et de croisements entre des pratiques issues de la colonisation et des enjeux contemporains. Pour la première fois, un ouvrage accessible traite de la société française comme société postcoloniale et ouvre des pistes de réflexion neuves.

For nearly 700 years, the Chinese state exercised control over the minority peoples in its border provinces through the hereditary native chieftaincies (tusi). Utilizing fieldwork carried out by PRC authorities in the 1950s, this book investigates a Zhuang tusi in Guangxi. It explores the history and institutions of the tusi system, and discusses the dual quality of the tusi chieftaincy as a Chinese franchise and a non-Chinese polity. It describes the social structure, village administration and land tenure system of this tusi, the customary institutions of its ruling clan, and the impact of the replacement by direct Chinese rule in the 20th century. It also sheds light on the political management of the strategically sensitive Chinese-Vietnamese border over 600 years.
