«À quoi sert “l’identité nationale”» is the historical essay by Gérard Noiriel, published by Agone in paperback (156 pages, in French).
The book starts from the creation in 2007 of the Ministry of Immigration and National Identity and the resignation of several historians in protest. Gérard Noiriel reconstructs how identity-based logic, emerging in the nineteenth century, has fueled nationalist discourses and analyzes the public use of the expression “identité nationale”, from its popularization in the 1980s to its use in Nicolas Sarkozy’s electoral campaign.
It belongs to the Passé & Présent collection by Agone.
Gérard Noiriel is a French historian. He is director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.
