Frederic Jaher develops a vehicle for a broader and uniquely rich analysis of French and American nation-building and political culture. He returns grand theory to historical scholarship by examining the Jewish encounter with state formation and Jewish acquisition of civic equality from the perspective of the "paradigm of liberal inclusiveness" as formulated by Alexis de Tocqueville and Louis Hartz. Jaher argues that the liberal paradigm worked for American Jews but that France's illiberal impulses hindered its Jewish population in acquiring full civic rights. He also explores the relevance of the Tocqueville-Hartz theory for other marginalized groups, particularly blacks and women in France and America. However, the experience of these groups suggests that the theory has its limits. A central issue of this penetrating study is whether a state with democratic-liberal pretensions (America) can better protect the rights of marginalized enclaves than can a state with authoritarian tendencies (France). The Tocqueville-Hartz thesis has become a major issue in political science, and this book marks the first time it has been tested in a historical study. The Jews and the Nation returns a unifying theory to a discipline fragmented by microtopical scholarship. 606 $aJews$zFrance$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aJews$xEmancipation$zFrance 606 $aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aNational characteristics, French 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMulticulturalism 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y18th century 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$y18th century 607 $aFrance$xEthnic relations 607 $aFrance$xHistory$xPhilosophy 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y18th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$yTo 1865 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$xPhilosophy 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xEmancipation 615 0$aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aNational characteristics, French. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory. 615 0$aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aMulticulturalism. 676 $a944/.004924 700 $aJaher$b Frederic Cople$0458232 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778136303321 996 $aThe Jews and the nation$93843786 997 $aUNINA
