The introduction offers a brief overview of Alsace’s return to France, situates the study within the literature on nations, nationalisms, and borders, and introduces the major arguments and the approach of the book. It outlines the multiple dimensions of the return of Alsace to France (laws, administration, society, politics, economics, culture, and the landscape), and suggests that these discrete aspects of daily life were shaped by the border. Indeed, the remarkable element in the story of Alsace’s return to France, the introduction suggests, is that in spite of the change of national regime and the shifts in Franco–German relations, the border was always a point of contact. This contact was not always positive, but it nonetheless played a crucial role in Alsace’s return to France, and as a result contributed to the formation of the French nation.
