Terror and terroir investigates the Comite Regional d'Action
Viticole (CRAV), a loose affiliation of militant winegrowers in the
sun-drenched, southern vineyards of the Languedoc. Since 1961, they
have fought to protect their livelihood. They were responsible for
sabotage, bombings, hijackings and even the shooting of a
policeman. Against the backdrop of European integration and
decolonisation they have rallied around banners of Resistance and
their strong Republican heritage, whilst their peasant protests fed
into Occitan and anti-globalisation movements. At heart, however,
the CRAV remain farmers championing the right of people to live and
work the land. Between the romantic mythology of terroir, and the
misguided, passionate violence of terror, this book unpicks the
contentious issues of regionalism, protest and violence. It offers
an insight into a neglected area of France's past that continues to
impinge on its future, infused with one of the most potent symbols
of French culture: wine. -- .
