Opis

Providing an enquiry into the particular type of nationalism which France embraces, this volume explores the value system of the movement and explains the way in which Front National ideology has been formulated and articulated in the 1980s and 1990s. The book is structured around four central issues: the general contours of, and influences on, Front National nationalism; the nation and its importance in Front National Discourse; the threats to the nation (as perceived by Front National); and the reality of the Front National in local government power.
