Opis

The French Revolution began by welcoming foreigners to France. The revolutionaries sought to attract those who might have been useful. By the Terror, however, this early promise had given way to repression. This dramatic transformation reveals much about the development of national identities and the origins of modern concepts of nationality and citizenship.

Recenzje

Well written and well organized ... This book nicely complements the works of Sobul, Mathiez, Arendt, and Wahnich and will be of interest to students of French citizenship and the roots of modern nationalism
