From the earliest settlements at Sable Island, Acadia, and Guiana at the dawn of the 17th century to the opening of Disneyland Paris in 1992, French and American culture, politics, and society have exerted ever stronger influences over one another. The transatlantic spread of French language and culture, and, in turn, the influence of American film and music within the francophone countries of the Old World, has done much to break down notions of France and America as divided countries.
Bill Marshall, PhD, is chair of modern French studies at the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
