This book breaks new ground in examining for the first time the
history of pacifism in inter-war France. Norman Ingram sets out to
define the contours of the French peace movement, to explore its
organization, tactics, and intellectual content, and to place it in
the broader context of French political culture in the years
between the two world wars. Based particularly on hitherto untapped
primary sources, The Politics of Dissent traces the development of
French pacifism from its nineteenth-century roots. Dr Ingram
analyses the intertwining of three strands of dissent: over the
origins of the First World War and the thesis of unique German war
guilt; over the nature of contemporary French political society;
and over the belief that another war would spell the end of western
civilization. He also explores the nature and development of
feminist pacifism in the inter-war period. His comprehensive and
scholarly analysis reveals that, unlike the primarily ethical or
religious thinking which underpinned the Anglo-American peace
movement, the nature of French pacifism was essentially political,
with some elements prepared even to accept violence as a means to a
desirable end, especially in response to the threat of incipient
fascism.
