This 2004 book is about politicisation and political choice in the
aftermath of the February Revolution of 1848, and the emergence of
democracy in France. The introduction of male suffrage both
encouraged expectations of social transformation and aroused
intense fear. In these circumstances the election of Louis-Napoleon
Bonaparte as President of the Republic - and his subsequent coup
d'etat - were the essential features of a counter-revolutionary
process which involved the creation of a system of democracy as the
basis of regime legitimacy and as a prelude to greater
liberalisation. The state positively encouraged the act of voting.
But what did it mean? How did people perceive politics? How did
communities and groups participate in political activity? These and
many other questions concern the relationships between local issues
and personalities, and the national political culture, all of which
impinged on communities increasingly as a result of substantial
social and political change.
