Résumé :
|
An accessible introduction to the nature of French society at the end of the 20th century. The book examines the transition of France and French life as the nation moves from an industrial to a post-industrial economy, and the cultural and social dislocations that such an evolution implies. Sociological concepts and categories of class, race, gender, age and region are discussed in relation to a range of issues such as work, politics, education, health, religion and leisure. The book reveals the nature of French society at a critical moment in the country's evolution. It demonstrates how a member of the European Union reflects distinctiveness and commonality in the development of Europe as a whole.
