Deconstructing the Nation examines the connection between racism
and the development of the nation-state in modern France. The
author raises important questions about the nature of citizenship
rights in modern French society and contributes to wider European
debates on citizenship. By challenging the myths of the modern
French nation Maxim Silverman opens up the debate on questions of
immigration, racism, the nation and citizenship in France to
non-French speaking readers. Until quite recently these matters
have largely been ignored by researchers in Britain and the USA.
However, European integration has made it essential to look beyond
national frontiers. The major part of his analysis concerns the
period from the end of the 1960s to the beginning of the 1990s. Yet
contemporary developments are placed in a historical context: first
through a consideration of the construction of the modern question
of immigration since the second half of the nineteenth century, and
second through a survey of political, economic and social
developments since 1945. There are analyses of the major debates on
nationality in 1987 and the headscarf' affair of 1989. Finally
questions of immigration, racism and citizenship are considered
within the framework of European integration.
