  • Summary

    In July 2020, while most of the world was in lockdown amid the global Covid pandemic, a documentary aired on television in France called “The Hidden Children of Colonial France.” It featured recent interviews with elderly men and women from the Ivory Coast, who claimed the right to French nationality on the grounds that they were métis and their biological fathers had hailed from metropolitan France.1 They had all been born before 1960, when the Ivory Coast was a colony of France, and at the time of the documentary they were members of the Association of the Foyer of Métis in the city of Bingerville, located just outside of the capitol of Abidjan.
