The French government failed to initiate a scientific study of Antillean family life immediately after departmentalization in 1946 but rather relied on racial stereotypes to guide their population policy. Unexamined ideas about the inherently inferiority of the Antilleans led administrators to deny them the same financial support as families in mainland France and thus contributed to disappointment with the broken promises of equality through departmentalization.
