Description
Now in its second edition, Tyler Stovall＊s
takes a transnational approach to the history of modern France that draws the reader into a key aspect of France＊s political culture: universalism.
Beginning with the French Revolution and its aftermath, Stovall traces French history right up to the present day and examines France＊s relations with three other areas of the world: Europe, the United States, and France＊s colonial empire. The book shines a light onto both French identity and the history of the world more broadly, which allows the reader to engage with French history in a much wider context. This new edition features an additional chapter on France in the twenty-first century that offers an analysis of current events and issues as seen through historical perspective. Issues addressed include anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and the
, as well as the impact of Brexit, the maturation of the National Front under Marine LePen, and the administration of Emmanuel Macron.
Giving a global view of France＊s history, this is the perfect volume for students of modern France and French history courses.
