The French Republic: History, Values, Debates
This book explores the history and meaning of the French Republic and the challenges it has faced. Founded in 1792, the French Republic has been defined and redefined by a succession of regimes and institutions, a multiplicity of symbols, and a plurality of meanings, ideas, and values. Although constantly in flux, the Republic has nonetheless produced a set of core ideals and practices fundamental to modern France's political culture and democrat…
Le charisme et la construction des héros de l'Empire en Grande-Bretagne et en France, 1880-1914
Comment expliquer la légitimation des conquêtes coloniales européennes menées en Afrique à la fin du XIX e siècle, alors que ces explorations se révélèrent, pour une bonne part, soit des entreprises hasardeuses ou des échecs, soit des faits irrationnels de politique étrangère ? Les études de cas d’Hubert Lyautey et de Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza en France, d’Henry Morton Stanley en Grande-Bretagne, montrent le rôle décisif de l’enthousiasme et de …
Constructing Charisma
Railroads, telegraphs, lithographs, photographs, and mass periodicals—the major technological advances of the 19th century seemed to diminish the space separating people from one another, creating new and apparently closer, albeit highly mediated, social relationships. Nowhere was this phenomenon more evident than in the relationship between celebrity and fan, leader and follower, the famous and the unknown. By mid-century, heroes and celebrities…
Heroes of EmpireFive Charismatic Men and the Conquest of Africa: Five charismatic men and the conquest of Africa
During the decades of empire (1870–1914), legendary heroes and their astonishing deeds of conquest gave imperialism a recognizable human face. Henry Morton Stanley, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, Charles Gordon, Jean-Baptiste Marchand, and Hubert Lyautey all braved almost unimaginable dangers among “savage” people for their nation's greater good. This book, a history of colonial heroes in Britain and France, shows via unforgettable portraits the shi…

Quand l'oncle Sam ausculte l'Hexagone: Les historiens américains et l'histoire de la France
Malgré l'antipathie pour la France qui marque un tiers de leurs compatriotes, un grand nombre d'historiens américains travaillent sur l'histoire de la France et affichent des sentiments de sympathie envers ce pays. À l'occasion de son 50 e anniversaire, la Society for French Historical Studies, qui compte 900 membres, a organisé un grand congrès à la Bibliothèque nationale de France.

The Use and Abuse of History
The Use and Abuse of History Edward Berenson (bio) Learning History in America. By Lloyd Kramer, Donald Reid, and William L. Barney, eds. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1994. 225 pages. $39.95 (cloth), $15.95 (paper). How much do Americans care about history? Far too little, most historians have long believed. But thanks to the ongoing controversy over the national standards for history, that assessment needs to be revised. In Octobe…
Forest Rites: The War of the Demoiselles in Nineteenth-Century France
In May 1829, strange reports surfaced from the Ariege department in the French Pyrenees, describing male peasants, bizarrely dressed in women's clothes, gathering in the forests at night to chase away state guards and charcoalmakers. This was the raucous War of the Demoiselles, a protest against the national French Forest Code of 1827, which restricted peasants' rights to use state and private forests. Peter Sahlins unravels the fascinating story…
A Permanent Revolution: The Historiography of 1789
There are few things in this world as vast as the historiography of the French Revolution. As much as the Russian and Chinese revolutions have shaped our century and served as ideological touchstones for statesmen and scholars alike, the volume of literature on 1789 surely exceeds the writings on the two more recent revolutions combined. The sheer bulk of the French revolutionary historiography accounts for part of its continuing influence, but s…

Populist Religion and Left-Wing Politics in France, 1830-1852
Examining the democratic-socialist politics of the Second Republic, Edward Berenson delves into the largely unexplored content of the Montagnards' ideology and traces its diffusion and reception in the populist religious culture of rural France. This book shows how the urbanbased Montagnards were able to appeal to rural Frenchmen by advocating doctrines grounded in the ideals and morality of early Christianity. Originally published in 1984. The P…
