Review
"Well written and well organized, the book follows changes in attitudes toward soldiers, clergy, radicals, and business types....[it] will be of interest to students of French citizenship and the roots of modern Nationalism."--CHOICE
"A fine [book]...that merits space on the shelf of all collections that specialize in the French Revolution or the emergence of the distinctly related and modern concepts of nationality and citizenship."--History
"This solid and well-written work is a mine of information on the thorny question of how the French nation attempted to deal with those in its midst who were not clearly members of that august body...Michael Rapport explores the twists and turns of revolutionary theory and practice with a fine eye for the paradoxes of the subject."--H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews OnLine

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 1789 the French Revolution opened with a cosmopolitan flourish and progressive observers across the world hailed a new era of international fraternity, based on a new kind of politics. Foreigners were welcomed to France, to enrich the regenerated nation and to become citizens. By the Terror of 1793-94, however, this universalist promise had all but died. Some foreigners in France were guillotined, hundreds of others were jailed, expelled, watched closely andwere obliged to carry special identity cards. How and why foreignors were squeezed out of French social and political life- and to what extent- is the subject of this book. Besidessuch issues as citizenship, nationality, passports and surveillance, this study considers the experience of specific types of foreignors, like those who served in the French army; in the clergy; foreign radicals or patriots; and those who contributed to French economic life. The dramatic transformation in the fortunes of foreignors during the revolution reveals much about the origins of modern concepts of nationality and citizenship and the development of national identities. In defining thelimit of the nation, the revolutionaries and foreignors alike faced difficulties which have particular ressonance today. The French Revolution began by welcoming foreigners to France. The revolutionaries sought to attract those who might have been useful. By the Terror, however, this early promise had given way to repression. This dramatic transformation reveals much about the development of national identities and the origins of modern concepts of nationality and citizenship.
