In the latter half of the 1970s, the French intellectual Left
denounced communism, Marxism, and revolutionary politics through a
critique of left-wing totalitarianism that paved the way for
today's postmodern, liberal, and moderate republican political
options. Contrary to the dominant understanding of the critique of
totalitarianism as an abrupt rupture induced by Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, Christofferson argues that
French anti-totalitarianism was the culmination of
direct-democratic critiques of communism and revisions of the
revolutionary project after 1956. The author's focus on the
direct-democratic politics of French intellectuals offers an
important alternative to recent histories that seek to explain the
course of French intellectual politics by France's apparent lack of
a liberal tradition.
