Reproducing the French Race

Immigration, Intimacy, and Embodiment in the Early Twentieth Century

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""Reproducing the French Race" skillfully traces underlying connections among immigration, gender, and national identity in interwar France, while fundamentally refiguring seemingly settled scholarship on pronatalism and labor rationalization by demonstrating the still under-recognized centrality of race to them. Elisa Camiscioli has written an accomplished and ambitious work that integrates issues typically treated separately into an innovative argument about 'embodiment' that challenges conventional assumptions about French republicanism as essentially abstract and universal."--Gary Wilder, author of "The French Imperial Nation-State: Negritude and Colonial Humanism Between the Two World Wars"
