Les mutineries de la mer Noire
Cet article situe la naissance du Parti communiste français (PCF) dans le prolongement des épisodes de mutineries qui s'étendirent, à partir des villes portuaires de la mer Noire jusqu'en France, durant l'année 1919. Il explore d'abord la nouvelle historiographie de 1919 afin de décrire la conjoncture mondiale particulière dans laquelle se situe l'émergence des mutineries et du PCF. Ensuite, les « répercussions » des mutineries révèlent la façon …
The War Guilt Problem and the Ligue des droits de l’homme, 1914–1944
In The War Guilt Problem, Norman Ingram builds upon his previous assessment of French pacifism. To resume his previous argument, Ingram noted that the interwar peace movement in France should be understood as a more internally divided movement than Anglo-American movements and witnessed a dialectic of old (legalist) and new (absolutist or ‘integral’) pacifism. In this new work, Ingram focuses upon the Ligue des droits de l’homme (LDH), the organi…
Murderer, Delinquent or Unemployed’
This article examines the contribution of photography to the recognition of the unemployed during the 1930s. It focuses on the role of French photomagazines, most notably Vu and Regards. Providing a rich body of representations of the unemployed, these periodicals developed several strategies to render the unemployed visible and to distinguish them from other forms of poverty. Underlying the photomagazine’s modernist mission proclaiming the novel…

In Search of “Red Ellen” Wilkinson Beyond Frontiers and Beyond the Nation State
This article reconsiders the life of Ellen Wilkinson (1891–1947) – British Minister of Education from 1945 to 1947 and leader of the Jarrow Crusade of 1936 – by exploring the transnational aspect of her politics. It seeks to establish the significance of her transnational orientation and how this can allow us to complement and deepen existing understandings of her. Drawing on the literature on transnational activist networks, it outlines the comp…
Bombing Billancourt
This article examines the bombing of the Renault Billancourt factory on 3 March 1942. Despite sporadic RAF bombing of France since defeat in June 1940, this was a significant raid because it initiated the RAF's new intensified bombing campaign against France, which targeted areas that were disproportionately working-class because of the priority of hitting industry and the rail network. The article takes issue with propaganda and public opinion a…

The Calais riot of 5 January 1934 and the Dynamics of Unemployed Contention
This article analyses the protests of the unemployed in northern France in 1934–35. This topic allows investigation of the most intense agitation of the jobless in France in the interwar years. The literature has principally focused on the PCF and the transition between Third Period and Popular Front policy phases to explain the evolution of movements of the unemployed in France in the 1930s. This article takes a multi-disciplinary approach combi…
Sans Distinction de Nationalité’? The French Communist Party, Immigrants and Unemployment in the 1930s
The 1930s economic depression may have been worldwide, but the French experience was unique in a number of ways, notably in its prevalent and broad consensus of anti-immigrant ‘explanations’ and ‘solutions’ to unemployment. With the aid of Ministry of Interior and Labour files, Communist Party and trade union minutes and the literature of the movements of the unemployed, this article seeks to examine one aspect of this experience: the attitude of…
