It is interesting to note that the French study of slavery as represented by the book by Pétré-Grenouilleau is conceived as a contribution to global history; since then a conference on slavery organized at Nantes in June 2005 by the École des Hautes Études, was conceived "dans les espaces atlantiques"; and a conference held at Université Paris Diderot in December 2006 was titled "Des Colonies aux républiques dans un monde atlantique.
