Laïcité: The History and Future of Secularism in France
by Julien Peltier
Laïcité — the French principle of secularism — is more than a law. It is a national philosophy, a cultural identity, and a source of both unity and division.
From its revolutionary origins in the 18th century to its codification in the 1905 Separation Law, laïcité has shaped French politics, education, and public life for over a century. This book traces the journey of secularism through Catholic resistance, colonial expansion, immigration, the headscarf debates, terrorism, and the search for social cohesion in a multicultural society.
Drawing on historical analysis and modern debates, the chapters explore the genesis, legal evolution, political conflicts, and the future challenges of laïcité — offering a clear, balanced, and engaging account for students, educators, policymakers, and anyone curious about France’s unique secular model.
Inside you will discover:
• How France’s secular identity was forged in conflict with the Catholic Church
• Why laïcité became a lightning rod for debates over Islam and immigration
• The role of schools, law, and politics in defining secularism
• The future of secularism in a globalized and diverse France
Whether you are fascinated by French history, political philosophy, or current affairs, this book offers a rich, thought-provoking journey into one of the most important and contested principles of the modern Republic.
