Abstract
The title of this collection explores a slippage in meaning among those in twentieth-century France for whom the category of citizenship has increasingly separated from identity, understood in both individual and collective expressions. This slippage has been heightened among naturalized foreigners for whom acquired citizenship has increased the feelings of difference and exclusion it was once expected to alleviate or even end. From the start, the English termsalienandforeignerthat translate the Frenchètrangerconvey an ambivalence linking the assertion of national identity to attitudes concerning race and ethnicity. Strong and persistent, these links are most often denied or “forgotten”
