| Summary: | This long-term study of educational travel between France and the United States suggests that, by studying abroad, ordinary people are constructively involved in international relations. It analyzes study abroad from the perspectives of the students, schools, governments, and non-governmental organizations involved, and charts its changing purpose and meaning throughout the twentieth century. The book shows how students' preconceptions of themselves, their culture, and the other nationality - particularly differences in gender roles - shaped their experiences and were transformed during their time abroad. |
