Sommario/riassunto

With global promotion of la Francophonie, the relation between the different constituencies of the world's French-speaking regions needs to be reexamined and debated. This book questions ingrained assumptions, pointing out the complexity of a never-ending



relationship between francophone communities after the Empire.
