What is France and "being French" - To those who thought they knew and those who did not know, by Mahboubi Moussaoui

One cannot live in France and be unaware of what "being French" is . A certain number of works have been devoted to this theme, but the book that we present here is particular both in substance and in form.

Written in a simple and concise style, it approaches the subject, in the form of a presentation of all the ingredients that have contributed to the shaping of modern France, but also of the bond of belonging to this nation.
Its vocation is to bring a bit of light to the ordinary citizen by removing the ambiguities and dissipating the confusion generated by a whole historiography and a whole partisan political discourse (conservatism, nationalism, progressivism, etc. ) . In short, the reading of this book, accessible to all, is supposed to challenge the reader, enlighten him on certain points and arouse in him a certain number of questions.
