How To Be French

"This remarkable, award-winning book is sure to be extremely well received by English-language audiences. It provides a detailed, rigorous, chronologically wide, broadly comparative, and fascinating history of French nationality. "How to Be French" profoundly revises previous knowledge on the topic, and its comparative framework makes it essential reading not only to scholars of France but also to those interested in Germany, the United States, Algeria, and beyond."-- Eric T. Jennings, author of "Curing the Colonizers: Hydrotherapy, Climatology, and French Colonial Spas"
