This book examines the effects of material distress on attitudes
toward the Vichy government and on the treatment of outsiders in
France during the Second World War. Fogg contends that the period's
severe material shortages and refugee situation fundamentally
reshaped France's social structure. Material conditions also
created alliances and divisions within the French population that
undermined the Vichy regime's legitimacy. The book argues that
shortages helped define the relationship between citizens and the
state, created the very definition of who was an "insider" and an
"outsider" in local communities, and shaped the manner in which
native and refugee populations interacted. Fogg's research reveals
that French residents proved to be more pragmatic than ideological
in their daily dealings with outsiders, with several surprising
effects: natives welcomed "quintessential" outsiders who provided
an economic advantage to local communities, while French "insiders"
faced discrimination.
