Abstract

The War Guilt Problem and the Ligue des droits de l'homme is a significant new volume from Norman Ingram, addressing the history of the Ligue des droits de l'homme (LDH), an organisation founded in 1898 at the height of the Dreyfus Affair and which lay at the very centre of French Republican politics in the era of the two world wars. Ingram posits that the Ligue's inability to resolve the question of war guilt from the Great War was what led to its decline by 1937, well before the Nazi invasion of May 1940. As well as developing our understanding of how the issue of war origins and war guilt transfixed the LDH from 1914 down to the Second World War, this volume also explores the aetiology of French pacifism, expanding on the differences between French and Anglo-American pacifism. It argues that from 1916 onwards, one can see a principled dissent from the Union sacrée war effort that occurred within mainstream French Republicanism and not on the syndicalist or anarchist fringes. Based on substantial research in a large number of French archives, primarily in the papers of the LDH which were repatriated to France from the former Soviet Union in late 2001, but also on considerable new research in the German archives, the book proposes a new explanatory model to help us understand some of the choices made in Vichy France, moving beyond the usual triptych of collaboration, resistance or accommodation

Abstract

"Was the end of the First World War a catalyst for progress or the harbinger of future conflict? The essays in this collection address the impact of the end of the First World War, with a focus on the extent to which the end of the war and the Paris peace process encouraged or disrupted the nascent international order. The focus is on western Europe, particularly France. Among the topics addressed are the relationship between gender and peace activism, international and trans-Atlantic connections, and the significance of French domestic politics to international relations. Collectively, the essays extend the ongoing debate about the success of the Treaty of Versailles: they add nuance to the debate by showing how particular issues combined both success and failure. The volume should be of interest to military, diplomatic, and international historians, with particular chapters of interest to a wider range of scholars in European history."--

Abstract

During the interwar years France experienced severe political polarization. At the time many observers, particularly on the left, feared that the French right had embraced fascism, generating a fierce debate that has engaged scholars for decades, but has also obscured critical changes in French society and culture during the 1920s and 1930s. This collection of essays shifts the focus away from long-standing controversies in order to examine various elements of the French right, from writers to politicians, social workers to street fighters, in their broader social, cultural, and political c

Abstract

La particularité de ce livre, parmi tous les travaux parus à l’occasion du centenaire de l’affaire Dreyfus, est de lier les nouveaux regards sur cet épisode fondamental de notre histoire à la réflexion sur un certain nombre de débats actuels, notamment sur la question de l’approche universaliste ou communautaire de la lutte contre l’antisémitisme. En se plaçant sous l’égide de Pierre Vidal-Naquet, qui s’est défini lui-même comme, inséparablement, historien et citoyen engagé, cet ouvrage s’efforce d’ajouter à l’analyse proprement historique celle du sens qu’a pris, depuis l’Affaire et jusqu’à aujourd’hui, la notion d’engagement dreyfusard. À partir des travaux du colloque international organisé, en association avec plusieurs institutions et sociétés savantes, par la Ligue des droits de l’Homme les 8 et 9 décembre 2006, à l’École militaire, sur les lieux mêmes où s’était déroulée, un siècle plus tôt, après la dégradation du capitaine, la cérémonie réparatrice de juillet 1906, les directeurs de cet ouvrage ont introduit d’importants compléments qui en dégagent les problématiques et les principaux points en débat. Aux études des quarante-cinq historiens réunis ici, dont Serge Berstein, Patrick Cabanel, Vincent Duclert, Michel Dreyfus, Rémi Fabre, Robert Frank et Jérôme Grévy, s’ajoutent des contributions d’autres personnalités connues pour leur implication dans les questions relatives à la Justice, tels Lucie Aubrac, Robert Badinter, Jean-Jacques de Félice, Jean-Pierre Dubois, Nicole Dreyfus, Stéphane Hessel, Henri Leclerc, Michel Tubiana, ainsi que l’ancien premier président de la Cour de cassation, Guy Canivet, et l’avocat général à sa chambre criminelle, Didier Boccon-Gibod. Les échanges rassemblés dans ce livre prennent aussi une dimension internationale, avec les apports de Michel Abitbol, Cylvie Claveau, Simon Epstein et Norman Ingram. Au-delà du public intéressé par l’histoire de l’affaire Dreyfus et la place fondatrice qu’elle occupe dans notre modernité…
