new in Social Science History: Scott Viallet-Thévenin and Cédric Chambru review the career patterns of 637 top civil servants, the governors of French overseas colonies 1830-1960. Building on the concept of 'linked ecologies', the authors identify a long-run trajectory of professionalization in colonial administration and detect greater autonomy from the metropole in the interwar period. https://doi.org/10.1017/ssh.2022.20
