Using ethnographic field data from the Larzac plateau in Southern
France, Alexander and Sonia Alland document one of the longest and
most successful popular protests in modern French history - the
Larzac movement. More than a record of events, the book describes
the transformation from the early 1970s of rural defiance into a
symbol of left-wing action for France and the world. This revised
edition examines the activities of the movement since 1995,
including the demonstrations at the Seattle meeting of the World
Trade Organisation, the 'great hamburger war' against McDonalds,
and the broadening of the movement to embrace struggles elsewhere,
such as the anti-nuclear protests in French Polynesia. Particular
attention is paid to the charismatic Jose Bove, who has become the
figurehead and focus of the campaign during this period.
This account will be of particular interest to anthropologists and
historians of contemporary France and Europe as well as students of
protest and social movements, and of contemporary politics in
general
