Description

The starting point is the Code Noir, called the most monstrous legal document of modern times, which was enacted by Louis XIV in 1685 at Versailles to define the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire. We consider whether anti-racist education in homogeneous, predominantly white Poland is needed and what value it brings.
