Black Spartacus
Toussaint Louverture ist der Ahnherr von «Black Lives Matter». Sein Name ist untrennbar verbunden mit dem Kampf gegen koloniale Unterdrückung, Sklaverei und Rassismus. Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts organisierte er auf Haiti erfolgreich einen großen Sklavenaufstand, und von da an führt ihn sein Weg immer weiter empor, bis er schließlich Gouverneur der Insel wird und ihr eine eigene Verfassung gibt. 1802 gerät er in die Hände Napoleons und wird nach Fr…
Our Grandmother Used to Sing Whilst Weeding
The cultural and historical dimensions of rural lives matter. However, development practitioners and writings tend to play down these aspects. This article demonstrates the significance of oral history in revealing the meanings of women smallholders' millet-based foodways in southern India. It argues that women farmers' cultural practices around food constitute fundamental 'capabilities' nurtured over a long historical duration, and are essential…
Construction et limites du mythe gaullien
Quelle place occupe la figure du général de Gaulle dans l’imaginaire national en France – c’est-à-dire dans l’ordre de la symbolique politique et de la mémoire collective ? Pour répondre à cette question, l’article analyse les idées, les valeurs, les images, les rêves, les passions et les représentations historiques qui se rattachent à de Gaulle dans la culture politique française de 1940 à nos jours
Local Subversions of Colonial Cultures
The book brings together original, state-of-the-art historical research from several continents and examines how mainly local peasant societies responded to colonial pressures to produce a range of di

Forum on Mona Ozouf

In humble recognition of her outstanding insights into modern French politics and culture, French History here publishes an extended forum on her memoir Composition française. The distinguished participants in this forum, to whom we are extremely grateful for their wisdom and insight, have felt a sense almost of nervous pride as we have come together to share our views of this…
De Gaulle, mythe national
De Gaulle, mythe national Sudhir Hazareesingh (bio) L'annonce du retour de la France au sein du commandement militaire intégré de l'OTAN en mars 2009 fut largement commentée en France. Et bien que les opinions furent partagées sur le sens, la portée et le bien-fondé du geste lui-même, l'unanimité se fit sur un point : cette mesure sarkozienne mettait fin à une tradition, celle d'une certaine posture française sur l'échiquier international, incarn…

Entre Robespierre et Napoléon
Le publiciste Albert Laponneraye jouissait d'une immense réputation dans les milieux républicains sous la monarchie de Juillet. Ardent robespierriste, il se décrivait comme issu d'une génération qui avait juré ' haine et mort à la tyrannie ': c'est à travers cette notion de haine, composante essentielle d'une déontologie de la vertu, que nous analyserons sa culture politique républicaine. Cette haine provoquait aussi des instabilités qui révélaie…
Conflicts of memory
The question of how State institutions should commemorate the past has generated considerable public controversy. Recent polemics point to the dilemma which political elites have grappled with since the Revolution: what content to give to the nation's ‘civil religion’ and which specific set of historical and ideological values should be collectively celebrated. Since its emergence after 1870, the Republic has sought to create a consensus in Franc…
Interconnected synchronicities
Cain and Hopkins' influential theory of British imperialism opted for a metropolitan-based model of explanation, rooted in the interests of a City-of-London-based class of ‘gentlemanly capitalists’, and discounting in the process events and experiences in the colonies and the significance of industrialization. By focusing on the simultaneous emergence of Bombay and Glasgow as modern, global ports in the second half of the nineteenth century, this…
Napoléon III
Memory, Legend and Politics
Drawing on archival evidence, this article explores the salience of ‘patriotic’ themes and motifs in the emergence of the Napoleonic legend in France after 1815. Symbolizing France’s defeated and humiliated status, the captive of Saint-Helena became an emblem of French patriotism, a rallying point for all the men and women who refused to accept their nation’s containment by the 1815 treaties. And, contrary to the traditional view that Bonapartist…

Napoleonic Memory in Nineteenth-Century France
After his departure into exile in 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte became the object of a veritable popular cult, in which his memory as a warrior, ruler, and upholder of the values of the French Revolution was celebrated-first by Bonapartist and Jacobin republican groups under the Restoration, then (after 1830) by the official institutions of the July Monarchy and the Second Empire. The Napoleon cult also flourished in literature, notably in the works o…
Les fêtes de la nation
Une déférence d'État
L’article analyse la création par le Second Empire de la médaille de Sainte-Hélène, une nouvelle décoration civique destinée aux survivants des guerres de la Révolution et de l'Empire. La médaille joua un rôle important dans la légitimation politique du régime, et de ce point de vue fonctionna effectivement comme une « technique de gouvernement ». En même temps, la perception populaire des médaillés illustra un phénomène plus important : la const…
Memory and Political Imagination
Drawing on official sources from national and departmental archives, this article re-examines popular manifestations of the Napoleonic legend under the Restoration (1815–1830)—notably in rumours about Napoleon's return, the deployment of ‘seditious objects’, and the organization of civic rebellions and commemorative practices. This evidence suggests that political and ideological motifs were deeply embedded in Napoleon's image and memory—contrary…

Regligion and Politics in the Saint-Napoleon Festivity 1852-70
This article explores the religious dimensions of the French national festivity of the Saint-Napoleon under the Second Empire (1852–1870). Celebrated on August 15, this official anniversary also coincided with the Catholic Feast of the Assumption. Drawing on new archival evidence, the article analyses the range and complexity of the clashes which occurred during the celebrations: between State officials and the local clergy; between elected local…

Republicanism, War and Democracy
The Ligue du Midi was a patriotic republican organization founded in Marseille in September 1870 during the Franco‐Prussian War, under the leadership of Alphonse Esquiros. This article explores the conflicts between the Ligue and the republican Government of National Defence, which underscored the inherent difficulty faced by ‘Jacobin’ republican political culture in accommodating any substantial measure of local autonomy in nineteenth‐century Fr…
Political Traditions in Modern France
The Quest for Urban Citizenship
Although the issue of citizenship has attracted the interest of some political scientists in relation to the problems of contemporary Indian democracy, historians have generally tended to shy away from exploring the concrete demands for civic rights that accompanied, but were by no means identical with, the struggle for national self-determination. Indeed, the dominance of nationalist and nation-oriented frameworks in Indian historical writing ha…

Colonial modernism and the flawed paradigms of urban renewal
This article explores the failure of urban renewal in Bombay city during the first quarter of the twentieth century. It shows how colonial rule structured a class-driven process of uneven urban ‘improvements’ that actually exacerbated the problems of congestion, bad housing and environmental blight. In this process, the new forces of modernity were selectively appropriated to accentuate the differentiation in built forms and urban spaces. Finally…

Bonapartist memory and republican nation-building
This article, based on extensive archive research, sets out to explore continuities between Bonapartism and republicanism, continuities which can be traced through the organisation of civic festivities in 19th-century France. Like the revolutionary regimes which preceded it, and the Third Republic which followed, the Bonapartist governments of the First and, especially, the Second Empire attached a great importance to these forms of political cer…
A Saint-Simonian in the Republic
The political thought of Eugene Pelletan illustrates the richness of French republican ideology during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Although his writings were generally dismissed as expressions of utopianism, his works had little to do with naive optimism, but rather offered a sophisticated republican doctrine which operated at different levels of discourse simultaneously. Generally Pelletan's political ideas show that the tradition…

From being to nothingness
One of the numerous symptoms of the crisis of French Communism in the 1980s has been its inability to retain the support of intellectuals. The process of intellectual disaffiliation from the PCF was triggered by the failure of the party leadership to accede to internal demands for reform, which included the development of greater democracy and autonomy of intellectual activity in the party, and a loosening of the PCFs ideological and institutiona…
Intellectuals and the French Communist Party
Examining the emergence and subsequent demise of intellectual identification with the French Communist Party between 1945 and 1989, this book argues that, after 1978, political conflicts between the Communist leadership and party intellectuals led to an erosion of support. These conflicts were sharpened by the party's institutional decline during the 1980s. The author links these internal factors with wider ideological changes during the 1970s an…

From Subject to Citizen offers an original account of the Second Empire (1852-1870) as a turning point in modern French political culture: a period in which thinkers of all political persuasions combined forces to create the participatory democracy alive in France today. Here Sudhir Hazareesingh probes beyond well-known features of the Second Empire, its centralized government and authoritarianism, and reveals the political, social, and cultural …

The Ambivalent Jacobin : Vincent Wright as a Political Historian of Modem France ; The works of Vincent Wright on 19lh century France deal with very many subjects, but a common thread is identifiable : the attention given to political and administrative power, the places in which it is exercised and the institutions, individuals and groups who hold it. Profoundly Jacobin, Vincent Wright was nevertheless a bom sceptic who knew how to assess the li…
