Insiders and Outsiders: The Historiography of Immigration in France
The history of immigration has become a dynamic subfield of French history since the 1970s. We examine its origins in both academic and activist milieus, and we consider its development in relation to some of the most important civic debates that have animated the French public sphere. In particular, we explore how histories of immigration expose some of the central concerns of modern French history – about the boundaries of citizenship, the powe…
Blogging (French) history: Conversations and reflections amongst historians
In 2014, the French History Network Blog was launched with the aim of ‘connecting people and ideas’. Ten years later, it has shared hundreds of blog posts with many thousands of readers, covering teaching and researching French history, but also the lives and experiences of the historians involved in doing both things. To mark its tenth anniversary in December 2024, the Institute of Historical Research’s Modern French History Seminar hosted a rou…
Multi-stakeholder knowledge exchange events as a tool of migration infrastructure: Evidence from the North West of England
In a knowledge exchange (KE) event that focused on migration in the North West of England, mutual aid between stakeholders appeared as a powerful aspect of KE, as the substance that can hold different migration infrastructures together. The proceedings demonstrated that KE events act as a catalyst for the collaboration of actors who have varying stakes in authority, provision, and resolve, which are essential elements of migration infrastructures…
Roundtable: Rod Kedward and his legacy
Professor Harry Roderick Kedward (1937–2023), universally known as Rod Kedward, is best known for his groundbreaking studies of the French Resistance, discussed in diverse ways by several contributors to this roundtable.1 Yet as Chris Warne emphasizes below, Rod’s interests extended in time and space well beyond the Second World War. Indeed, to fully comprehend Rod, it is important to understand him as a soixante-huitard—close witness to many of …
A victory for the March for Equality? Immigration, policy, protest and the ten-year residency permit of 1984
This article seeks to explain the origins of the Dufoix law of 17 July 1984 which instituted a ten-year residency permit for most foreign residents in France. It aims to clarify a series of debates about the relationship between the law and the March for Equality and Against Racism of 1983 by examining three mutually contradictory theories. The first theory holds that President Mitterrand was persuaded to enact the reform as a direct result of hi…

Talking Out of Revolution: Henri Krasucki and Jacques Chirac’s Secret Pigalle Negotiations and the Resolution of the French General Strike of May–June 1968
At the height of the French general strike of May–June 1968, future president Jacques Chirac, then Secretary of State for Employment, initiated a series of secret meetings with Henri Krasucki, deputy general secretary of the Confédération général du travail, meetings which arguably lay at the origins of the Grenelle agreements and hence the end of the strike. This article seeks to peel apart the various competing and contradictory layers of memor…

Ordinary workers, Vichy and the holocaust French railwaymen and the Second World War
Many of the most accomplished monographs lie at an intersection between different fields of study, and this outstanding volume is no exception. What is likely to attract most attention about Ludivi
Full Speed Ahead? The Trente Glorieuses in a Rear View Mirror
It is a historiographical commonplace to portray France during the so-called Trente Glorieuses of economic expansion after the Liberation, especially during the last of those three decades ending in the 1973 oil crisis, as engaged heart and soul in a project of full-throttle modernisation. The Fifth Republic under Charles De Gaulle and Georges Pompidou rolled up its sleeves and set to work tackling the country's multifarious examples of historica…

On April 17, 1981, Le Monde published an open letter to the candidates for the presidential election in France, concerning the hunger strike begun 15 days ago by Hamid Boukhrouma, an Algerian immigrant awaiting expulsion from French territory…
French and British Anti-Racists Since the 1960s: A rendez-vous manqué
While immigration situations in France and Britain are often contrasted to each other, they are not mutually closed systems. This article asks to what extent anti-racist movements in the two countries interacted with each other between the 1960s and 1990s. Although one could be forgiven for thinking that the two operate in parallel and mutually incomprehensible universes, it suggests that there has been more exchange than meets the eye, by examin…
L'économie morale des banlieusards: Aux origines de la « crise des transports » dans la France des années 1970
En 1970, une révolte des banlieusards, usagers des transports en commun de la région parisienne, déclenchée par une hausse du prix du ticket de métro, a réussi à renverser une tentative du gouvernement Chaban-Delmas de faire payer une proportion plus grande des coûts de transport aux usagers. Ce mouvement a été à l'origine de la carte orange et de la renaissance des tramways. Cet article explique les origines du mouvement, en utilisant l'idée d'é…

Memories of May '68: France's Convenient Consensus
A ‘Mediterranean New Left’? Comparing and Contrasting the French PSU and the Italian PSIUP
This article argues that Gerd-Rainer Horn's model of a ‘Mediterranean New Left’ encompassing both the French Parti socialiste unifié (PSU, 1960–1990) and the Italian Partito socialista italiano di unità proletaria (PSIUP, 1964–1972) needs to be significantly revised. It agrees that, half a century on from the events which gave rise to their foundation, this much misunderstood part of the political spectrum, midway between social democracy and the…
History at Last? 1968–2008
The article reviews several books, including "Forget 68," by Daniel Cohn-Bendit, "Mai 68 raconté par des anonymes," by Nicolas Daum, and "Dictionnaire de Mai 68," edited by Jacques Capdevielle and Henri Rey
Liquidating May ’68? Generational Trajectories of the 2007 Presidential Candidates
Nicolas Sarkozy's successful 2007 presidential campaign culminated with an appeal to ‘liquidate’ the heritage of the revolt of May 1968. Through an examination of the trajectories of all candidates at the 2007 election, this article seeks to explain the controversy around Sarkozy's remarks in terms of the broader impact of the ‘’68 years’ on a generation of both right and left born in the postwar period
From May to October: Reassessing the 1968 Generation
The article reports on the resurgence of far left in France. There is a parallel between the reemergence of the memory of the Algerian war during the 1990s and the reemergence of the memory of another taboo subject, 68-era Trotskyism, in the early 2000s. Just as immigration controversies in France and civil war in Algeria brought back to the surface uncomfortable memories of decolonisation, so the renewal of the French far left in the present has…
