Through a close reading of seven literary memoirs of the Nazi
Occupation of France, Refiguring Les Annees Noires: Literary
Representations of the Nazi Occupation shows how the memory of the
period has been shaped by political and social factors. An
interdisciplinary study incorporating trauma theory, history, and
folklore studies, this book examines representations of the
Occupation by a diverse group of writers ranging from a female
Resistance fighter to one of the first French Roma novelists. The
methodological diversity of the volume brings to the fore each
author's unique perspective and demonstrates that their works are
at once historically and artistically significant. Above all, this
book gives voice to groups whose experiences in occupied France
have largely been forgotten.
