Founded in 1982, the University of the French West Indies serves Guadeloupe and Martinique (French overseas departments in the Caribbean). Approximately 11,000 students. Campuses in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) and Schoelcher (Martinique). 🕯️ Honest context: French Caribbean territories carry the historical legacy of slavery — France abolished slavery in 1848 after centuries of brutal plantation economy. Contemporary social and economic disparities persist; Caribbean studies and decolonial scholarship are actively taught.
