Based on in-depth interviews with people throughout France who trace their origins to non-European countries, Foreigners in Their Own Country reports on the experience of not being seen as “French” because of one’s physical appearance. Paying close attention to how individuals speak about themselves and their feelings of acceptance or rejection, this book provides an intimate account of the challenges faced by the millions of people in France—and throughout Western Europe—who fully participate in the life of their country but are often not seen as belonging there.

Lawrence M. Martin studied anthropology at Yale University and the University of Chicago. He practiced law before returning to anthropology in 2009. He has conducted fieldwork in Mali, Morocco, and France, and taught a course in ethnography at Yale.
