Download or read book Citizenship and Nationhood in France and Germany written by Rogers BRUBAKER. This book was released on 2009-06-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difference between French and German definitions of citizenship is instructive--and, for millions of immigrants from North Africa, Turkey, and Eastern Europe, decisive. Rogers Brubaker shows how this difference--between the territorial basis of the French citizenry and the German emphasis on blood descent--was shaped and sustained by sharply differing understandings of nationhood, rooted in distinctive French and German paths to nation-statehood.
