While Gertrude Stein hosted the literati of the Left Bank, Mrs.
Bates-Batcheller, an American socialite and concert singer in
Paris, held sumptuous receptions for the Daughters of the American
Revolution in her suburban villa. History may remember the American
artists, writers, and musicians of the Left Bank best, but the
reality is that there were many more American businessmen,
socialites, manufacturers' representatives, and lawyers living on
the other side of the River Seine. Be they newly minted American
countesses married to foreigners with impressive titles or American
soldiers who had settled in France after World War I with their
French wives, they provide a new view of the notion of expatriates.
Nancy L. Green thus introduces us for the first time to a
long-forgotten part of the American overseas
population-predecessors to today's expats-while exploring the
politics of citizenship and the business relationships, love lives,
and wealth (and poverty for some) of Americans who staked their
claim to the City of Light. The Other Americans in Paris shows that
elite migration is a part of migration tout court and that debates
over Americanization have deep roots in the twentieth century.
