The French Atlantic – Travels in Culture and History
Autor Bill Marshallen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2009
The French Atlantic is a compelling and timely contribution to ongoing debates about nationhood, culture, and “Frenchness” that have come to define France and its diaspora in light of the diplomatic fracas surrounding the Iraq war and other mass cultural events. With interdisciplinary navigation of fields nearly as diverse as the locations he explores, Bill Marshall considers the cultural history of seven different French Atlantic spaces—from Quebec to the southern Caribbean to North Atlantic territory and back to metropolitan France—in this groundbreaking study of the Atlantic world.

Recenzii
“A robust and cogent response to an overwhelming tendency in French historiography to neglect, in the name of some exclusive and inward-looking Franco-French national narratives, French colonial ventures in the Americas and, by way of consequence, Francophone minorities that cannot be easily subsumed by these centripetal models. . . . The French Atlantic is a very impressive achievement. Its sheer richness forces us to rethink the boundaries between French, Francophone, African, and American cultures.”
“A truly original and very engaging book that will be of great interest to readers in French, Francophone, and Atlantic studies.”
