Demos Rising: Democracy and the Popular Construction of Public Power in France, 1800-1850 By Stephen W. Sawyer
Anne Martin-Fugier, Les Salons de la IIIe République. Art, littérature, politique: Paris, Perrin, 2009, 508 p
Anne Martin-Fugier is an accomplished chronicler of la vie élégante in nineteenth-century France, and she has returned once again to the subject, this time through a sparkling portrayal of the salons of the Third Republic. The book itself is written with care, encyclopedic in detail and effervescent in style. The salonnières of the Third Republic understood themselves as conserving a form of aristocratic sociability which had known its heyday in …

Marion Fontaine, Alain Chatriot, Fabien Conord, Emmanuel Jousse (dir.), Œuvres de Jean Jaurès, vol. 14: La Voix du socialisme
The Société des études jaurésiennes has undertaken to publish the works of Jean Jaurès. This volume is the most recent addition to a seventeen-volume project. The span of time covered is brief, the years 1910-1912, but Jaurès, not much past fifty at the time, was at the height of his powers. He churned out articles by the hundreds for L’Humanité and La Dépêche. He delivered speeches to SFIO party congresses. And he engaged in lengthy debates in t…
Nicolas Roussellier, La Force de gouverner. Le pouvoir exécutif en France XIXe-XXIe siècles: Paris, Gallimard, 2015, 827 p
The balance between the legislative and executive branches of government in France has undergone a sea change since the nineteenth century. The constitutional battles of the 1870s had given birth to a Republic, the nation’s Third, that placed parliament, as the expression of the national will, at the center of public life. Republicans, so many of whom had cut their political teeth battling against Bonapartist authoritarianism, held “personal powe…
Guillaume Piketty, Français, libre. Pierre de Chevigné: Paris, Tallandier, 2022, 542 p
The comma that separates français and libre in the title of Guillaume Piketty’s fine, new biography of Pierre de Chevigné says a lot. Chevigné was a graduate of Saint-Cyr, a military man by vocation with an appetite for combat. He distinguished himself in the campaign of 1940 and refused to give up the fight even in the wake of defeat. Chevigné repudiated Pétain’s armistice, headed to England, and, once there, rallied to La France libre. This was…
Jean-Pierre Le Crom, Au secours, Maréchal ! L’instrumentalisation de l’humanitaire (1940-1944): Paris, PUF, 2013, p. 344
Jean-Pierre Le Crom’s most recent monograph tracks the rise and fall of the Secours national (SN), a parastatal relief organization decreed into existence by the Daladier administration in November 1939 and not disbanded until ten years later. As Le Crom’s subtitle indicates, however, it is the years 1940-1944 that are of greatest interest to him. This is not the first time Le Crom has written on Vichy social policy. In Syndicats, nous voilà (199…
Laurent Joly (dir.), La Délation dans la France des années noires: Paris, Perrin, 2012, 377 p
The Occupation era has earned a reputation as a “golden age” of délation. Informing is a repugnant subject, but it is one that is revelatory of how dictatorships work, the German Occupation and its Vichy regime partner among them. The volume under review, edited and introduced by Laurent Joly, brings this point home in thought-provoking ways, in part because of the quality of the individual essays, but above all because of the range of subjects c…
Fabrice Grenard, Les Scandales du ravitaillement. Détournements, corruption, affaires étouffées en France, de l’Occupation à la guerre froide: Paris, Payot, 2012, 294 p
The 1940s were a decade of penury. From the first days of Vichy through the Liberation era and on into the Cold War, food shortages and food rationing were permanent features of daily life in France. The State mobilized to deal with the situation. Already before the Occupation, in March 1940, plans had been laid to create a system of managed food distribution, although it awaited the coming of the Vichy regime before a version of this scheme was …

Noëlline Castagnez, Frédéric Cépède, Gilles Morin et Anne-Laure Ollivier (dir.), Les socialistes français à l’heure de la Libération: Paris, L’Ours, 2016, 328 p
This volume, a collection of twenty essays, originated in a 2014 conference sponsored by l’Office universitaire de recherche socialiste (OURS) to reflect on the promise and achievements of French socialism at the Liberation. A number of the authors (Jens Späth, Christine Vodovar, Gérard Bossuat, and Gilles Vergnon) make an effort to set France’s experience in a wider, European context, and the findings that result are interesting. In Great Britai…

Forging Europe: Industrial Organization in France, 1940–1952, by Luc-André Brunet
Luc-André Brunet’s narrative is book-ended by two moments of Franco-German collaboration. After France’s defeat in 1940, the victorious Germans set about pillaging the French economy, requisitioning goods and leveraging French businessmen into deals advantageous to the German war machine. Vichy’s Ministry of Industrial Production (MIP) sought out ways to protect the national economy—to create an institutional buffer, that is, between the Germans …

Narratives of democracy in post-war France
Loyalists of France’s Third Republic presented the regime as heir to France’s revolutionary tradition and as such the bearer of a set of undying principles: liberty, equality, and fraternity. This narrative came under crippling pressure in the 20th century, and in the aftermath of the Second World War, a new set of narratives began to crystallize that rethought the meaning of republican democracy. Under the Third Republic, it was the venerable Pa…
David Drake. Paris at War: 1939–1944; Robert Gildea. Fighters in the Shadows: A New History of the French Resistance; Olivier Wieviorka. The French Resistance
The public image of the French Resistance has undergone a sea change in recent decades, which is why David Drake’s Paris at War: 1939–1944, Robert Gildea’s Fighters in the Shadows: A New History of the French Resistance, and Olivier Wieviorka’s The French Resistance are such welcome additions to the historiography. In the first years after the Second World War, Communists and Gaullists competed to take control of the narrative. In the Communist v…

Vichy et ses survivances: Les Compagnons de France
Les Compagnons de France fut une organisation de jeunesse vichyste, fondée durant l'été de 1940 et dissoute en janvier 1944. Ses effectifs ne dépassèrent jamais quelques dizaines de milliers, mais elle fut cependant importante. Elle blâmait les maux dont souffrait la France d'avant : démocratie parlementaire, libéralisme, individualisme orienté vers le marché libre, et proposait des remèdes : autorité, foi, communauté. Au fur et à mesure que la d…
France's New Deal: From the Thirties to the Postwar Era
France's New Deal is an in-depth and important look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, a time when the nation was endowed with brand-new institutions for managing its economy and culture. Yet, as Philip Nord reveals, the significant process of state rebuilding did not begin at the Liberation. Rather, it got started earlier, in the waning years of the Third Republic and under the Vichy regime. Tracking the nation's evolution f…
The Welfare State in France, 1870-1914
In the decades preceding World War I, European states large and small erected systems of public relief and insurance, the rudiments of what has come to be known as the welfare state. France, it seems, was a laggard in the process. Bismarckian Germany pioneered in the domain of Sozialpolitik, legislating elementary schemes of compulsory health, accident, and old-age insurance as far back as the 1880s. France did indeed follow suit in every respect…

Catholic Culture in Interwar France
The interwar years have been characterized as a "watershed" in the history of French Catholicism,1 and it is not hard to see why. The Church had experienced the first decades of the Third Republic as a time of trial and persecution. World War I, however, gave believers reason to look forward to a brighter future. The republican establishment had welcomed the political representatives of Catholic opinion into the Union sacrée. The distress of sold…

French Cities in the Nineteenth Century
This book brings together some of the most significant and influential recent work in French urban history. The trend of historical thinking and research today, typified by such books as Montaillou, is to focus on the surviving demographic and socio-economic documentation of a given period or society as indicators of the changes undergone by the people of that time or place. Such is the direction of this important new study of the urban experienc…

The Republican Moment: Struggles for Democracy in Nineteenth-Century France.
Gender and the Politics of Social Reform in France, 1870-1914.
Traditional histories of the French Third Republic often overlook the extent to which concerns about the place of women and the health of the family influenced the course of government policy, particularly the direction of welfare reform. Combining the approaches of social and political history, this book offers a new perspective on women's lives in the Third Republic by looking at the attitudes, actions, and policies of the men who held politica…

Les origines de la Troisième République en France (1860-1885)
The origins of the Third Republic, 1860-1885. The present article attempts to explain the durability of the Third Republic, the only post-revolutionary regime to have lasted more than two decades. Working from sociological theories of democratie transition, the author emphasizes the importance of the prior emergence of a middle class imbued with a liberal outlook extending beyond the political sphere. From the early 1860s, this middle class began…

Reform, Conservation, and Adaptation: Sciences-Po, from the Popular Front to the Liberation
EMILE Boutmy founded the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques in 1872. France had just experienced a cataclysmic military defeat, and Boutmy blamed the nation’s battlefield setbacks on failed political leadership. The Ecole libre, or Sciences Po as it came to be known, was intended to make good that failing, to incubate a new generation of public servants who would oversee France’s recovery to greatness.Sciences Po from the outset enjoyed the patr…
