This book explores the contours of civic identity in the town of
Vichy, France. Over the course of its history, Vichy has been known
for three things: its thermal spa resort; its products (especially
Vichy water and Vichy cosmetics); and its role in hosting the Etat
Francais, France's collaborationist government in the Second World
War. This last association has become an obsession for the
residents of Vichy, who feel stigmatized and victimized by the
widespread habit of referring to France's wartime government as the
'Vichy regime'. This book argues that the stigma, victimhood, and
decline suffered by Vichyssois are best understood by placing
Vichy's politics of identity in a broader historical context that
considers corporate, as well as social and cultural, history.
