The Construction of Minority Identities in France and Britain de G. Raymond

The Construction of Minority Identities in France and Britain

G. Raymond

In France the idea that a person can be both a French citizen and have an ethnic or religious identity is unacceptable, while in Britain community cohesion promote the combining of race or faith with the idea of being British. This volume examines the problems posed by these assumptions and the realities that are forcing them to be revisited.
