Gratien Candace, deputy of Guadeloupe (1929)

Gratien Candace (December 18, 1873 in Baillif, Guadeloupe, France – April 11, 1953 in Lormaye, France) was a politician from Guadeloupe who served in the French Chamber of Deputies from 1912 to 1942 and served as vice-president of the French Chamber of Deputies from 1938 to 1940.[1][2] On 10 July 1940, Candace voted in favour of granting the cabinet presided by Marchal Philippe Pétain authority to draw up a new constitution, thereby effectively ending the French Third Republic and establishing Vichy France. He retired from French politics in 1940, declining to become part of the Vichy regime.[2] However, in 1941 he was made a member of the National Council of Vichy France.

Candace attended the First Pan-African Congress, Paris, February 19–22, 1919.[1]

African-American historian and Pan-Africanist W. E. B. Du Bois faulted Candace harshly for a perceived lack of commitment to the interests of the African diaspora, writing "Candace is virulently French. He has no conception of Negro uplift, as apart from French development."[3][4]

He earned a degree in science at the University of Toulouse and later taught as a professor and was a founder of the École nationale de la France d'Outre-Mer (ENFOM) and the Académie des Sciences Coloniales.[2]
