  A history of French Jewry from antiquity, this work tells the tale of the social, economic, and cultural vicissitudes of a people in diaspora. It reveals the diversity of Jewish life throughout France's regions, while showing how Jewish identity has constantly redefined itself in a country known for both the Rights of Man and the Dreyfus affair.
