"Herrick Chapman and Laura Frader have done a wonderful job of
bringing together a wide range of pathbreaking essays on the topic
of race in France, giving a new perspective on what it means to be
French in the modern and contemporary era." - Journal of Modern
History Scholars across disciplines on both sides of the Atlantic
have recently begun to open up, as never before, the scholarly
study of race and racism in France. These original essays bring
together in one volume new work in history, sociology,
anthropology, political science, and legal studies. Each of the
eleven articles presents fresh research on the tension between a
republican tradition in France that has long denied the legitimacy
of acknowledging racial difference and a lived reality in which
racial prejudice shaped popular views about foreigners, Jews,
immigrants, and colonial people. Several authors also examine
efforts to combat racism since the 1970s. Herrick Chapman is
Associate Professor of History and French Studies at New York
University. The author and editor of several books on French and
European social history, he also edits the multidisciplinary
journal French Politics, Culture & Society. Laura L. Frader
specializes in French social and labor history and European women's
and gender history and has written extensively on these topics. In
addition to her position as Chair of the Department of History at
Northeastern University, she is a Senior Associate at the Center
for European Studies at Harvard University.
