"While those already familiar with the major currents of French
history from the Revolution to the end of World War II will be most
able to appreciate the pointed research of the nine essays, the
volume offers something to every reader interested in France and
the myriad forces involved in the creation of a national
identity."—Fred L. Toner, French Review
"Margins is a good teaching volume for upper-division French
history classes and scholars looking to move beyond the canon. It
features both a theoretical and discursive facility with
peripheries, and also a solid collection of empirical casework
studies and multiple episodes to draw upon in shaping the
parameters of what the outlines of France should be."—Matthew
Matsuda, H-France
