"Place and Locality in Modern France, 1750-present" is an edited
collection that successfully 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
is a timely overview of the cross-disciplinary thinking that is
currently taking place over a central issue in French history.The
book investigates the politics of administrative reform,
regionalism and projects of decentralization. It looks at the role
of commerce in engendering narratives and experience of local
place, explores the importance of ethnic, class and gender
distinctions, and considers the generation and transmission of
knowledge about local place and culture through academia, civic
heritage and popular memory. In short, this text provides a
sweeping account of the concept of the 'local' in French history in
a way that will effectively bridge the divide between micro- and
macro-history for those interested in ideas of locality and culture
in modern French and European history.
