French Civilization and Its Discontents : Nationalism, Colonialism, Race Paperback / softback
Edited by Georges Van Den Abbeele
Part of the After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial France series
Paperback / softback
Description
What happens when the study of French is no longer coterminous with the study of France?
French Civilization and Its Discontents explores the ways in which considerations of difference, especially colonialism, postcolonialism, and race, have shaped French culture and French studies in the modern era.
Rejecting traditional assimilationist notions of French national identity, contributors to this groundbreaking volume demonstrate how literature, history, and other aspects of what is considered French civilization have been shaped by global processes of creolization and differentiation.
This book ably demonstrates the necessity of studying France and the Francophone world together, and of recognizing not only the presence of France in the Francophone world but also the central place occupied by the Francophone world in world literature and history.
