The interpretation of the French Revolution has long been the most
contentious issue in French history. How the Revolution should be
remembered has been the focus of debates concerned as much with
France's future as with its past. Kaplan both reviews these debates
and reconstructs - in sometimes hilarious detail - events leading
up to the official commemoration. Bringing to bear the skills of
the archival historian and the ethnographer, he masterfully
explains how a particular political culture attempts to come to
terms with its past. As he sketches a provocative picture of
politics in France today, he has much to say about more general
relationships between memory and collective identity, history and
politics. Farewell, Revolution is based on massive research,
including interviews with leading players on the French cultural
and political scene. Kaplan vividly describes the evolution not
only of the bicentennial celebration in Paris but also of regional
festivities and commemorative activities among the French
Communists.
