Rousselière shows that French republicanism in the Revolutionary period had many faces, but that running through them all was an ideal of 'sharing freedom' which contained paradoxes that continue to plague French politics and society today, from the problem of the banlieues to conflicts around the principle of laïcité. A vital resource for scholars of republicanism, of freedom, of the French Revolution, of Rousseau, and of contemporary French politics, among other things.' Sharon R. Krause, Brown University 'Republicanism began as a theory of freedom for an educated, virtuous social elite. During the French Revolution, republican writers tried to democratize the theory in various ways. Rousselière explores key moments in the history of these efforts with subtlety and insight, and shows that they were only partly successful. Her book offers a strikingly new account of the republican tradition and helps to explain why it continues to grapple with the question of exclusion.' Bryan Garsten, Professor of Political Science and Humanities, Yale University Author InformationGeneviève Rousselière is a Franco-American political theorist.
