French Matters
A profound sentiment of satisfaction might settle upon Herrick Chapman after he reads the articles in this special issue. For having touched so many lives, for having excelled in the intellectual endeavors he set out to explore, and for having made an impact on the field of French Studies itself, any soul would be rightly moved to a sense of completion and contentedness that accompanies such lifetime achievement. Teaching, research, and service a…
Diane Afoumado. Indésirables: 1938; La Conférence d’Évian et les réfugiés juifs
The time is ripe for new historical interpretations of the Evian Conference of 1938. It has been four decades since Henry Feingold, Saul Friedman, and David S. Wyman published their accounts of the intergovernmental conference initiated by American president Franklin D. Roosevelt to address the Jewish refugee crisis. Diane Afoumado’s 2018 version, Indésirables: 1938; La Conférence d’Évian et les réfugiés juifs, aims to be an exhaustive study of t…
From Casablanca to Houston
This article melds family history with History, tracing the lives of my daughter's grandparents, Marcelle Libraty and Pinhas Cohen. Products of the social mobility and integration offered by the Alliance israélite universelle, they became schoolteachers in Morocco and opted for France after independence. Currently in their eighties, Marcelle and Pinhas's lives are connected to sweeping events in history: French colonialism, Vichy anti- Semitism, …

Exclusions: Practicing Prejudice in French Law and Medicine, 1920–1945
Julie Fette shows in Exclusions that doctors and lawyers persuaded the French state to enact exclusionary legislation banning naturalized citizens from careers in law and medicine for up to ten years after they had obtained French nationality.
Exclusions: Practicing Prejudice in French Law and Medicine, 1920-1945
"In the 1930s, the French Third Republic banned naturalized citizens from careers in law and medicine for up to ten years after they had obtained French nationality. In 1940, the Vichy regime permanently expelled all lawyers and doctors born of foreign fathers and imposed a 2 percent quota on Jews in both professions. On the basis of extensive archival research, Julie Fette shows in Exclusions that doctors and lawyers themselves, despite their cl…
Apology and the Past in Contemporary France
In societies coming to terms with historical injustices, public apology has recently emerged as a potent trend. This is particularly true of France, where the state served as a catalyst for a wave of public apologies for acts of intolerance committed during the Second World War. Following Jacques Chirac's 1995 official apology for Vichy's anti-Semitic policies, various groups in civil society publicly atoned for their particular Vichy roles in di…
Pride and Prejudice in the Professions: Women Doctors and Lawyers in Third Republic France
Medicine and law have traditionally been viewed as elite masculine fields, and they therefore offer a useful prism to evaluate feminization. This article examines the rise of women doctors and lawyers in Third Republic France (1870–1940): women's struggle for access, their growth and progress as medical and legal practitioners, and the resentment they encountered anew in the 1930s. Although antifeminism was ingrained in the professional ethos of …
