The French today contend with national history and identity and the
tensions brought on by changes such as immigration, European
integration, and post-colonialism. Issues in the French-Speaking
World encapsulates 11 major issues for students of French language
and culture, providing an informed platform for critical thinking
and engaging discussion. The topics, including the trial of Maurice
Papon, the Headscarf Affair, Jose Bove and McDonald's, Quebec
separatism, and the democratization movement in the Ivory Coast,
are overviewed in individual chapters. Pro and con positions on the
issues are then presented so that students can debate the points.
Helpful French vocabulary, questions and activities, and a resource
guide accompany each issue to round out the unit. The authors are
careful to tie in the French issues to American society and
culture. Comparisons are probed so that students will broaden their
understanding not only of French-speaking societies but also their
own society and history as well. Written in a dramatic style, the
unique approach of this content-rich resource is sure to bring new
energy to the study of French culture, language, and history.
