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. Biography: Bill Marshall is professor of comparative literary and cultural studies at the University of Stirling and the author of the three-volume encyclopedia France and the Americas, among other titles.
