The Statue of Liberty, "La Liberté éclairant le monde," a universal symbol of political freedom and democracy, was a gift to the U.S. from the people of France on the centennial of American Independence. In France there are two other Statues including the replica given by the U.S. on the centennial of the French Revolution. (Aerial view of Statue in New York is in the public domain.

Undergraduate
This course offers an analysis of the keen interest shown by France and the French in North American cultures since the eighteenth century. Not only did France contribute to the construction of both Canadian and American nations but also it has constantly delineated its identity by way of praising or criticizing North American cultures. Taught in French.
