The French in Our Lives (eBook, ePUB)

Past, Present, Future -- Influence and Implications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The French in Our Lives examines the profound influence of French language, culture, and thought in the world and, specifically, on the US and Americans throughout history.

While many books discuss the similarities and differences between the two cultures, this book focuses on the influences - frequently overlooked - of French culture on the US. The insights provided through this examination promote a better appreciation and understanding of the significance of the French language, and of French ideas and values, throughout the world and in the US.

Designed to enhance awareness of the significance of the French language and Francophone culture in the US and globally, this book will be of interest to students and instructors across disciplines, from French language and culture to US history and international studies.
