This book is an original and sophisticated historical
interpretation of contemporary French political culture. Until now,
there have been few attempts to understand the political
consequences of the profound geopolitical, intellectual and
economic changes that France has undergone since the 1970s.
However, Emile Chabal's detailed study shows how passionate debates
over citizenship, immigration, colonial memory, the reform of the
state and the historiography of modern France have galvanised the
French elite and created new spaces for discussion and
disagreement. Many of these debates have coalesced around two
political languages - republicanism and liberalism - both of which
structure the historical imagination and the symbolic vocabulary of
French political actors. The tension between these two political
languages has become the central battleground of contemporary
French politics. It is around these two poles that politicians,
intellectuals and members of France's vast civil society have tried
to negotiate the formidable challenges of ideological uncertainty
and a renewed sense of global insecurity.
