Through the views of French travelers and diverse French studies
about the United States, this book shows that the US took a pivotal
place in French consciousness during the second half of the
nineteenth century. The American landscape, skyscrapers, and the
presence of Native and African Americans were puzzling and exotic
to the French. At the same time, towns and industry were proof of
an emerging economic power. Meanwhile, the French people found
attractive models of social engineering in American society:
schools and universities, the changing role of women, the emergence
of the middle class. Even before World War I, the US found its
place in French opinion, following trends that were to continue
throughout the twentieth century: fascination and misgivings,
attraction and repulsion.
