  • She Has Lived Her Life as She Pleased”

    Gayle K Brunelle, Annette Finley-CroswhiteARTICLEHistorical Reflections/Réflexions…2024

    This article explores four case studies of women on France's extreme right, 1935–1945, to elucidate their agency, in terms of political activism and sexuality. We contend that, just as did women on the left, including in the Resistance, they profited from the liminal space the political disruptions the election of the Popular Front in 1936, and the war and Occupation created to engage in behavior normally deemed transgressive in their culture. Th…

    On October 3, 1941 the French right-wing Mouvement Social Révolutionnaire (MSR) bombed six synagogues and one Jewish prayer house in Paris. The only scholarship addressing this “Nuit Bleue” focuses on the Nazi Security and Police Service, who provided the explosives but neither planned nor executed the attacks. Below, the authors restore memory of the bombings and re-establish French agency and culpability. They also explore Jewish reaction and r…

    Of all of France’s early modern colonial ventures, the least studied and most obscure are the French efforts to establish settlements, missions, and plantations in Guiana. Still, the seventeenth-century French colonies in Guiana had much in common with the sixteenth-century French efforts to colonize Florida and Brazil, and their trajectories were every bit as dramatic and their outcomes equally dismal. Although not sponsored as Huguenot refuges …

    The Compagnie de l’Amerique was a joint-stock company based in Paris and created in 1652 for the purpose of establishing a French colony at Cayenne in what is today French Guiana. The Compagnie de l’Amerique was founded under the sponsorship of a theologian from the Sorbonne, the Abbé Marivault, the Sieur le Roux de Royville from Normandy, and several important officers and robe nobles in Paris, including the Secretary of the Marine, La Boulaye, …

    Gayle K BrunelleARTICLEFrench History2012

    In Between Crown and Commerce: Marseille and the Early Modern Mediterranean, Junko Thérèse Takeda argues that that the evolution of French commercial cities such as Marseille during the early modern era hinged on the convergence of two processes, the expansion of commerce and the growth and centralization of state power, ‘royal absolutism,’ in other words. Takeda contends that scholars typically have called the conjunction of these two processes …

    After failing to wrest Brazil from the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, the French turned their attention to the region north of the Amazon and south of the Orinoco River. The Guiana ventures the French launched during the middle decades of the seventeenth century met with numerous disasters, many of them self-inflicted, including bankruptcies, mutinies, murder, and costly rivalries between companies based in Paris and Rouen. Despite their ma…
