Definition
- The Code Noir, meaning “Black Code,” is the corpus of French laws that defined and governed the lives of enslaved and free African people who inhabited French colonial territories, primarily in the Americas but also in the islands in the Indian Ocean. The code was drawn up by Jean Baptiste Colbert in 1683 and first promulgated by Louis XIV in March of 1685. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; Code Noir]
