A Note from the Editors
A Qualitative Evaluation of a Food Prescription Program During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Food insecurity (FI), a longstanding issue in the United States, has been associated with poor diet quality and negative health outcomes, especially with diet-related chronic diseases (DRCDs). To address this issue, Food Prescription Programs (FPP, also known as Food as Medicine) provide at-risk populations with vouchers, or "prescriptions," to obtain fresh fruits and vegetables from local food banks, pantries, and vendors. This paper discusses t…
Just Food doesn’t Do It”: Understanding Food Insecurity Among Rural Veterans in the United States
Food security among rural veteran populations is an understudied subject. This study uses qualitative data from 106 semi-structured interviews conducted with staff from programs at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other federal agencies, staff from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), food security researchers, and food insecure veterans to identify the barriers to and facilitators for rural veteran food security. Barri…
The Imperial State, Labor, and Resistance
The articles in this issue did not come to us as a set. Some were proposed in the context of conversations around global labor; others were submitted independently. They also examine very different sites in metropolitan France and the French empire, as well as different chronological turning points. These include the sugar plantations and courtrooms of the Caribbean before the second abolition of slavery in 1848; steamships crossing the Indian an…

A Note from the New Editors
In August 2022 the editorship of French Historical Studies passed from Kay Edwards and Carol Harrison (University of South Carolina) to a new team, Christine Haynes and Jennifer Ngaire Heuer. As we take the helm of this journal, which has been publishing since 1958, we are humbled by the trust placed in us by the search committee, Jeff Horn, Jean Pedersen, and Roxanne Panchasi, and the Executive Board of the Society for French Historical Studies,…
The Future of Veteran Community Engagement: Perspectives on Engaging Veterans and Other Stakeholders in Research Agenda Setting
Veteran communities including veterans, their families, and their caregivers are vital collaborators in the field of veterans studies. Veteran community engaged research (CEnR) generates findings that are impactful and applicable to target populations. Veteran CEnR is a valuable emerging methodological approach. In the two decades since 9/11, clinical and health services researchers have increasingly prioritized participatory veteran research des…
Neither cowardly nor greedy? Buying and selling escape from conscription in revolutionary and post-revolutionary France
In late revolutionary and Napoleonic France, arranging for a paid substitute to fight in one’s place could be a straightforward contract. But it was also a vexed relationship; those who avoided fighting could appear cowardly and selfish and those who accepted money to risk their lives foolhardy or greedy. This article examines replacement from its uneasy institution with conscription in the late Revolution, through its apparent banalization under…

Using syndemic theory to understand food insecurity and diet-related chronic diseases
Race, Law, and Contested Heritage: Toussaint Louverture's Family in France
The Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture died in a French prison in 1803; his family was also brought to the metropole, where they would spend the rest of their days in the rural southwest of the country. Their lives in France are usually recounted only as biographical curiosity, but they illuminate complicated interactions of race, law, and political legacy. This article relates their experiences both to those of other free people of color…
Food Insecurity, Well-being, and Academic Success among College Students: Implications for Post Covid-19 Pandemic Programming
College students experience food insecurity at higher rates than the general population, which has been found to be directly and indirectly associated with poor mental and physical health in addition to academic success. Since the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, mounting evidence has demonstrated an increase in food insecurity rates in the U.S. The current study assessed food insecurity and its associated impacts on health and academic success amo…

Food Access in the Time of Covid-19: Reflections on the United States Food System During a Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted many disparities globally. In the United States, the pandemic has drawn attention to key social issues, including those related to the national food system. With unemployment rates rising exponentially, Americans have seen drastic changes within the grocery store, with limited supplies and increased prices resulting in higher levels of food insecurity. These changes mostly affect populations who may already b…
J oan W allach S cott . Sex and Secularism
The primary goal of Joan Wallach Scott’s Sex and Secularism is to counter the notion that secular societies inherently promote gender equality more than religious—particularly Muslim—ones. While implicitly acknowledging the dangers of religious extremism, Scott argues that secularism is not in itself a guarantee of equality. As such, her latest book is a direct intervention in contemporary political debates and a rebuttal of views she summarizes …
Germaine de Stael: A Political Portrait, by Biancamaria Fontana
Biancamaria Fontana seeks to showcase Germaine de Stael’s originality and depth as a political thinker. She makes a convincing case that, despite de Stael’s reputation as a novelist and literary critic, scholars have overlooked the writer’s political ideas. Many have tended to view her political engagement in terms of her biography and to see her ideas as derivative of the men she associated with, especially her father, Jacques Necker, and her fr…
No More Fears, No More Tears’: Gender, Emotion and the Aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars in France
This article investigates why royalist popular culture in the immediate aftermath of the Napoleonic wars often depicted young mothers anxious for peace. Such representations reflected the brutality of the wars, women's relative prominence in anti‐conscription resistance and a cultural shift from revolutionary injunctions to wives and mothers to sacrifice their menfolk for the good of the nation to Napoleonic images of women as tremulous counterpa…
Celibacy, Courage, and Hungry Wives: Debating Military Marriage and Citizenship in Pre-Revolutionary France
Enlightenment reformers in France had very different visions about whether military men should marry. In one view, acting as a good soldier and citizen drew on new models of masculine virility, and required separating oneself entirely from the restraints of domestic life. Conversely, being a soldier-citizen could mean building on changing ideas of domestic virtue and respectability, combining a patriotic obligation to fight with responsibility to…
Antoine FRANZINI, Haine et politique en Corse: L'affrontement de deux hommes au temps de la révolution française, 1780-1800
L’ouvrage Haine et politique propose une micro-histoire insolite et séduisante. Il se concentre sur la relation entre deux hommes, résidents d’un petit village corse : Stefano Monti, prêtre respecté, et son neveu et ancien élève, Fabiano Bertola. Les deux hommes, à l’origine très proches, virent leurs rapports se détériorer après que Fabiano eut accusé Stefano d’entretenir une relation sexuelle avec une veuve de l’endroit. En réponse à ces accusa…

The One-Drop Rule in Reverse? Interracial Marriages in Napoleonic and Restoration France
In the early nineteenth century, an obscure rural policeman petitioned the French government with an unusual story. Charles Fanaye had served with Napoleon's armies in Egypt. Chased by Mameluks, he was rescued in the nick of time by a black Ethiopian woman and hidden in her home. Threatened in turn by the Mameluks, Marie-Hélène (as the woman came to be called) threw in her lot with the French army and followed Fanaye to France. The couple then so…
The Paradoxes of Nationalism: The French Revolution and its Meaning for Contemporary Nation Building by Chimene I. Keitner
Liberty and Death: The French Revolution
This article explores recent developments in scholarship on the French Revolution and new strategies for teaching about it as a cauldron of both rights and violence. Historians have increasingly moved beyond the schools of Marxism, “revisionism,” and “political culture” that dominated earlier interpretations. Although individual approaches differ radically, they reveal several general trends. Scholars are rethinking the narrative of the Revolutio…
Power and the Nation in European History
Few would doubt the central importance of the nation in the making and unmaking of modern political communities. The long history of 'the nation' as a concept and as a name for various sorts of 'imagined community' likewise commands such acceptance. But when did the nation first become a fundamental political factor? This is a question which has been, and continues to be, far more sharply contested. A deep rift still separates 'modernist' perspec…

L'invention de la sphère domestique au sortir de la Révolution
Jennifer Heuer et Anne Verjus, The Invention of the Domestic Sphere at the Close of the Revolution. The legal and political categories of the French Revolution tend to neglect the family as an intermediary body between the individual and the state. This absence, initially unperceived and involuntary, left the field open to interpretations and claims which generated contradictions between members of the family, members of the nation and members of…

Colonial Families and the Contradictions of "Civilization" in the French and Dutch Empires
Adopted Daughter of the French People
In 1797, two brothers brought an unusual case to the French legislature. Their niece, the daughter of the famous martyr of liberty Michel Lepeletier, had been “adopted by the nation” in 1793. Now officially emancipated from her relatives’ tutelage, she wished to marry a debt-ridden young Dutch man. Unable to prevent the marriage through more traditional means, Suzanne Lepeletier’s uncles demanded that the state fulfill its duties as father. They …
« Afin d'obtenir le droit de citoyen… en tout ce qui peut concerner une personne de son sexe »: Devenir ou cesser d'être française à l'époque napoléonienne
Les officiels napoléoniens ont transformé et limité la signification de la nationalité française pour les femmes. Cette évolution est particulièrement visible à travers l'application des mesures de 1811 concernant la perte de la nationalité française, ainsi que les politiques de naturalisation et « d'admission à domicile ». Dans chacun de ces cas, on constate que l'appartenance sexuelle des personnes joue un rôle déterminant dans l'attribution de…
