She discusses the foreigner in Greek tragedy, in the Bible, and in the literature of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and the twentieth century. She discusses the legal status of foreigners throughout history, gaining perspective on our own civilization. Her insights into the problems of nationality, particularly in France are more timely and relevant in an increasingly integrated and fractious world.</P> 1045474 1991 Strangers to Ourselves total:42|5:14|4:15|3:8|2:5|1:0| 42 164 92 2 2 0 false false Mon Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Sep 17 23:42:29 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 04 12:45:14 -0800 2008
