Book Talk | Jews, Muslims and the French Republic

Sponsored By: 
BMW Center for German and European Studies and the Center for Jewish Civilization

Announced by: University of Pittsburgh

In this book, Dr. Steven Kramer explores the complex, triangular relationship between the French Republic, Jews, and Muslims. It is the first book to compare the experience of French Jews and Muslims over the longue durée, tracing their experiences and interactions in both metropolitan France and the colonies under the evolving regime of laïcité. This historical and comparative approach does more than illuminate past and current tensions, it suggests how they may be resolved.
