Angela M Poff Book order

Thomas questions the attempt to place strict limits on what it means to be French or European and offers a sense of what must happen to bring about a renewed sense of integration and global Frenchness.

Challenging the identity politics that sets immigrants against the mainstream, this book explores how black expressive culture has reformulated as global culture in the multicultural and multinational spaces of France. It brings forward questions such as: why France is a privileged site of civilization, who is a French, and who is an immigrant.
