HIST 350 Modern France and its Empire

This course seeks to move away from the stories that "France" has told about itself to one that reveals the tensions between the republican ideals of universalism, secularism and liberte, egalite, fraternite and their fragile applications.  Focusing on women, colonial subjects, immigrants, Jews, and Muslims as both historical actors and objects of French practices of exclusion and intervention, this course reconsiders the boundaries of France, the contours of French citizenship and the meanings of French identity.  [SS, GM2, W]
