How To Be A French Jew: Proust, Lazare, Glissant, Paul J. Fadoul
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
In my dissertation I use Auerbach's insights developed in his Mimesis to demonstrate that in A la recherche, Proust captures the political and racial concerns of his times, proposing as a solution a heterogeneous French society where cultural, ethnic, and religious groups live together in mutual respect and understanding.
