Providing an up-to-date synthesis of the history of an
extraordinary nation--one that has been shrouded in myths, many of
its own making--France and Its Empire Since 1870 seeks both to
understand these myths and to uncover the complicated and often
contradictory realities that underpin them. It situates modern
French history in transnational and global contexts and also
integrates the themes of imperialism and immigration into the
traditional narrative.
Authors Alice L. Conklin, Sarah Fishman, and Robert Zaretsky begin
with the premise that while France and the U.S. are sister
republics, they also exhibit profound differences that are as
compelling as their apparent similarities. The authors frame the
book around the contested emergence of the French Republic--a form
of government that finally appears to have a permanent status in
France--but whose birth pangs were much more protracted than those
of the American Republic. Presenting a lively and coherent
narrative of the major developments in France's tumultuous history
since 1870, the authors organize the chapters around the country's
many turning points and confrontations. They also offer detailed
analyses of politics, society, and culture, considering the diverse
viewpoints of men and women from every background including the
working class and the bourgeoisie, immigrants, Catholics, Jews and
Muslims, Bretons and Algerians, rebellious youth, and gays and
lesbians.
