Citizens and Citoyens

In "Citizens and Citoyens," author Mark Hulliung presents a thought-provoking analysis of the American interpretation of the Jacobin republican tradition. Published by Harvard University Press in 2002, this compelling hardback spans 274 pages and challenges the notion that this tradition is "illiberal to the core." Hulliung asserts that it was, in fact, the nineteenth-century French liberals who jeopardized the principles of liberalism, while the French republicans played a crucial role in preserving these ideals. This insightful work invites readers to reconsider their understanding of American history and its connections to European liberalism and republicanism. Perfect for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, "Citizens and Citoyens" provides a fresh perspective on the intertwined narratives of the United States and France during the 20th century. Discover how Hulliung's arguments reshape our comprehension of liberalism and its evolution in both nations.
