Sommario/riassunto |
|
This provocative and non-polemic study explores the value system of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the National Front movement in France, and explains the way in which the movement's ideology has been formulated and articulated in the 1980's and 1990's. Also discussing the crucial role of Le Pen, this book provides a fascinating enquiry into the most controversial political party in contemporary France. |
