By focusing on the less turbulent years in between the social
upheavals of the Paris Commune of 1871 and the 1848 Revolution,
Gould reveals that while class played a pivotal role in 1848, it
was neighbourhood solidarity that was a decisive organizing force
in 1871. Baron Haussmann's massive urban renovation projects
between 1852 and 1868 dispersed workers from Paris' centre to newly
annexed districts on the outskirts of the city. Residence rather
than occupation quickly became the new basis of social solidarity.
Drawing on evidence derived from trial documents, marriage
certificates, reports of police spies and the popular press, Gould
demonstrates that this fundamental rearrangement in the patterns of
social life made possible a neighbourhood insurgent movement;
whereas the insurgents of 1848 fought and died in defence of their
status as workers, those of 1871 did so as members of a besieged
urban community.
