“Slavery Old and New”
This chapter examines Cold War liberals’ role in a campaign against “slave labor” in the Soviet Union between 1947 and 1953 that was largely conducted at the United Nations. Although the effort was first spearheaded by the American Federation of Labor, U.S. liberals eventually joined forces with an ideologically diverse set of European actors, and the transatlantic dialogue that ensued offers an opportunity to examine what was distinctive about l…
Cold War Liberalism
In the mid-twentieth century, Cold War liberalism exerted a profound influence on the US state, US foreign policy, and liberal thought across the North Atlantic world. The essays in this volume examine the history of this important ideology from a variety of perspectives. Whereas most prior works that analyze Cold War liberalism have focused on small groupings of canonical intellectuals, this book explores how the ideology transformed politics, s…
Queens of the Earth” with Women to Serve Them
Slavery—not simply as an analogy for gendered domination, but as a concrete institution of racial exploitation—shaped how renowned socialist feminist Flora Tristan envisioned freedom for white women. This article focuses on Pérégrinations d'une paria, Tristan's monumental memoir of her 1833–1834 journey from Paris to Peru via Bordeaux, Cape Verde, and Chile. This voyage brought Tristan into sustained contact with the slave trade and chattel slave…
The Last Act in the Tragedy of Judaism
Beginning in 1952, the New York-based American Jewish Committee (AJC) spearheaded a transatlantic effort to stigmatize Stalinist antisemitism through direct historical comparison with the recent Nazi genocide of European Jewry. In France, home to the AJC's European headquarters, the project of tarring Stalin with Hitler's brush spurred an unprecedented flood of discourse about the Holocaust. However, the narrative that emerged among participating…
Madame Right for Monsieur Wrong
Before 1975, prisoners in France could only marry if they successfully petitioned the state for permission. This article examines how local, regional and national officials dealt with marriage requests submitted by male inmates of the Camps de Mauzac in the Dordogne between 1946 and 1959. It reveals that they consistently adjudicated the petitions according to a standard of sexual morality focused on female behaviour: prisoners were permitted to …
J ulie O rringer . The Flight Portfolio
In August 1940, two months after the fall of France to Nazi Germany, Harvard-educated Protestant journalist Varian Fry arrived in Marseille as a representative of the Emergency Rescue Committee (ERC), a private relief organization he had recently cofounded in New York City. His brief: to help prominent artists and intellectuals—Jews as well as non-Jewish dissidents—flee the continent. From improvised offices thronged each morning by desperate ref…

In the Shadow of the Concentration Camp
In 1949, French intellectual David Rousset publicly called on Nazi camp survivors to bear witness to the existence of a “concentration camp universe” in the Soviet Union. Rousset, a former Buchenwald internee and an influential author, demanded that his fellow survivors identify in unqualified terms with the suffering of Soviet prisoners. Even as he colluded with Cold War governmental agencies, Rousset claimed that the imperative to oppose concen…
From the torture chamber to the bedchamber
This article examines French antiwar activists' use of the language of sexual deviancy to condemn the practice of torture by France's military during the Algerian War (1954-1962). Many metropolitan opponents of the conflict charged that Frenchmen who participated in the "intimate" atrocities of the torture chamber were taking perverse pleasure in their brutal work, then returning home to France suffering from a "sexual disorder" or a "militarized…
A War of Words over an Image of War
During the Algerian War, films and published photographs documenting brutalities committed by French forces were exceedingly rare, due to censorship and strict controls on journalistic access to the military. However, a dramatic exception to this state of affairs came at an early moment in the war, after a Fox Movietone cameraman captured footage of a French gendarme as he summarily executed an Algerian with a bullet in the back. When the journal…
