Kenneth Moure shows how the black market in Vichy France developed
not only to serve German exploitation, but also as an essential
strategy for survival for commerce and consumers. His analysis
explains how and why the black market became so prevalent and
powerful in France and remained necessary after Liberation. Marche
Noir draws on diverse French archives as well as diaries, memoirs
and contemporary fiction, to highlight the importance of the black
market in everyday life. Vichy's economic controls set the context
for adaptations - by commerce facing economic and political
constraints, and by consumers needing essential goods. Vichy
collaboration in this realm seriously damaged the regime's
legitimacy. Marche Noir offers new insights into the dynamics of
black markets in wartime, and how illicit trade in France served
not only to exploit consumer needs and increase German power, but
also to aid communities in their strategies for survival.
