Celebrated on July, 14, Bastille Day is the French national day and one of the most important bank holidays in France. The day commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution with the storming of the Bastille on the 14th July 1789, a medieval fortress and prison which was a symbol of tyrannical Bourbon authority and had held many political dissidents, and symbolizes the end of absolute monarchy and the birth of sovereign Nation.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

France has played a central role in the emergence of the modern world. The Great French Revolution of 1789 contributed decisively to political modernity, and the Paris of Baudelaire did the same for culture. Because of its rich intellectual and cultural traditions, republican democracy, imperial past and post-colonial present, twentieth-century experience of decline and renewal, and unique role in world affairs, France and its history remain important today. This series publishes monographs that offer significant methodological and empirical contributions to our understanding of the French experience and its broader role in the making of the modern world.<\/p>\n

Sarah Gensburger
Translated by Katharine Throssell<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a rich book–thickly documented, creative in selecting its object of inquiry–and challenges instrumental concepts of the uses of memory implicit in the accusations leveled by those who denounce \u2018victim competition\u2019\u2026 Gensburger\u2019s aim is to explain public policy, and that she does in an eye-opening fashion. The problems she raises are timely and interesting, and her empirical rejection of the \u201cinterest group\u201d argument is convincing.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 <\/span>H-France Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Even if Clarke\u2019s rich and detailed account is mostly a story about the unrecognized interwar origins of the postwar economic miracle, it provides many thought-provoking arguments about the heterogeneity of this ancestry and successfully challenges the central narrative of modernization in twentieth-century France.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 American Historical Review<\/strong><\/p>\n
