Subject Description | A study of French society and culture from the aftermath of the Great War (1914-1918) to the present, with particular attention to revolutionary situations (1919-20, 1936, 1940-44, 1958, 1968). How did war, depression, fascism and the Holocaust affect French society in the first half of the century? How much did France collaborate with the Nazis and how did the nation cope with the legacy of its collaboration? How did French culture represent and deal with these problems? How did marginalised groups such as workers, women and Jews struggle for survival and then for justice? How did they represent themselves in this struggle? |
