Answer: This sense of being marginal or alien in one’s own country of birth was brought to the fore in a jarring way immediately after the Paris attacks, when French President François Hollande asked for additional powers to combat terrorism including some that clearly encroach on civil liberties, such as revoking the French nationality of dual citizens, even those born in France if they are convicted of committing acts of terrorism.
