Politics of Survival Artisans in Twentieth-Century France

France has been considered the pre-eminent nation of the petit bourgeois, yet fascism had only limited appeal there. This book will significantly revise our understanding of the petit bourgeoisie's own perception of its political interests. In the course of examining the rise and fall of the French artisans' political movement from the turn of the century to the 1960s, Zdatny uncovers the reasons for the French petit bourgeoisie's failure to embrace fascism, in contrast to their counterparts in other European countries.Zdatny, Steven M. is the author of 'Politics of Survival Artisans in Twentieth-Century France' with ISBN 9780195059403 and ISBN 0195059409.
