About this deal

Do I like the French? I don't really know them that well. They're quite a closed people, but then my French is not particlarly good. I admire the fact they cling to their way of life and it's a very attractive one, but can see that this is all one day going to come crashing economically down around them. The second obsession is paranoia about decline, and the failure of elites to protect French identity. For Maurras, the chief menace to it was that enemy within: Jews, Protestants, Freemasons and foreigners. For Barrès, the enemy was principally without: Germany, and its military might. For Mr Camus and Mr Zemmour, it is above all Islam. Echoing the “great replacement theory”, Mr Zemmour claims that, in today’s France, “an Islamic civilisation is replacing a people from a Christian, Greco-Roman civilisation”. “Veiled women”, Mr Camus recently told a TV interviewer, “are the flags of conquest, of colonisation”. 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. Drawing on the insights of anthropological and cultural theory and on extensive archival research, Herman Lebovics shows how, among politicians and thinkers from both the right and the left, the glorification of True France masked the cultural project of eliminating diversity. He skillfully interweaves the biographies of representative figures in debates about "True France" from the time of the Dreyfus affair to the end of the Vichy regime: the anthropologist and politician Louis Marin, the colonial hero Marshal Lyautey, the radical Vietnamese student Nguyen Van Tao, Paul Rivet, the Socialist director of the Musee de l'Homme, Andre Breton, and the folklorist Georges-Henri Riviere. Lebovics offers fresh accounts of such landmarks in the growth of True France as the founding of French anthropology, the formulation of French cultural policy in the colonies, the manipulation of imagery at the Paris International Colonial Exposition of 1931, attempts by the Left to include workers in the culture of True France, and the institutionalization of the myth of French identity under the Petain regime. Historians of modern Europe, intellectual and cultural historians, anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, ethnographers, and others interested in the politics of cultural identity and pluralism today will want to read True France Britain has Europe’s worst-insulated homes, losing 3 °C after five hours according to home climate management company tado, which surveyed 80,000 homes in 11 European countries. Norway and Germany have the best insulated homes. Band of Brothers accurately depicts the stories of real American paratroopers, but it leaves out many real events from Easy Company's time in WWII.

One of the people who made a comment said that Paris is better than London. I disagree. The only thing that Paris has better than London is the Underground. Otherwise, Paris is a smelly place and it all looks grey. London is a beautiful city in comparison.When I was living in England I met Scottish and Welsh people. To foreigners, they say that they do not like the English but in front of the English they act like they are such good British. I am French as I said in a previous comment. But I do not make a big fuss about it. My favourite people in Europe are the English. Actually, I love them. If they ever say anything against the French it is because the French deserve it.

Not really, but it can seem like it because elements of the press pursue blunt jingoism and xenophobia to sell newsprint. Now here’s an interesting fact about France. The word ‘camouflage’ actually comes from the French verb meaning ‘to make up for the stage’. This is because the French Army was the first to create a dedicated camouflage unit in 1915. Guns and vehicles were painted by artists called camofleurs. The following year, the British Army followed suit and established its own camouflage section under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Wyatt. It was known as the Special Works Park RE (Royal Engineers). 7. In France, you can marry a dead person!
