Place and Locality in Modern France analyses the significance and
changing constructions of local place in modern France. Drawing on
the expertise of a range of scholars from around the world, this
book provides a timely overview of the cross-disciplinary thinking
that is currently taking place over a central issue in French
history. The contributed chapters address a range of subjects that
include: the politics of administrative reform, decentralization,
regionalism and local advocacy; the role of commerce in engendering
narratives and experience of local place; the importance of ethnic,
class, gender and race distinctions in shaping local connection and
identity; the generation and transmission of knowledge about local
place and culture through academia, civic heritage and popular
memory. As a reconsideration of the 'local' in French history,
Place and Locality in Modern France bridges the divide between
micro- and macro-history for all those interested in ideas of
locality and culture in modern French and European history.
