Jean-Benoit Nadeau: Hot Issues in France - From the veil to Europe
Riots in the suburbs, laws banning religious symbols, rejection of the European Constitution, strong anti-capitalism, the rise of the far right... Whats got into the French? Often accused of anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, racism and anti-European feelings, the French consider the challenges of todays world with a look that is theirs, and very distinct from that of Americans. The evolution of France was such that words like Liberte, Egalite and Fraternite actually took on different meanings than the words liberty, equality and fraternity have in the United States and the French words can only really be understood in the French context. Combining their own observations with analysis, the authors of Sixty Million Frenchmen Cant Be Wrong explain how the French deal with minorities, Europe and the United States. Because the problem with the French is not necessarily what we think...
