True France: The Wars over Cultural Identity, 1900–1945

The Wilder House Series in Politics, History and Culture

by Herman Lebovics

Today as many as 30 percent of French voters would agree with Jean-Marie Le Pen that foreign-born Muslims should be expelled from France. True France is a provocative history of the prototype of this contemporary "France for the French" movement - the conservative, static, intolerant understanding of French identity that became a powerful tool in national politics during the first half of the twentieth century.
