Description

Book Synopsis
Brittany presents a paradox: the region was incorporated into France in 1532, yet, over the years, signs of a sense of separation from France are growing clearer. This work provides an introduction to identity politics in Brittany, analysing its special status within France: the region that is a potential rival centre to Paris.

Trade Review
'Sharif Gemie both renovates the genre and presents what is without doubt the best English-language work on the Breton question. He innovates by showing that spark of empathy which his predecessors lacked, while remaining lucid and retaining the critical spirit that an in-depth analysis requires.' Ronan Le Coadic, ArMen 168
