Comme il était doux le temps des " Trente Glorieuses " ! La démocratisation de la voiture et de la viande ! L'électroménager libérant la femme ! La mécanisation agricole éradiquant la famine ! La Troisième Guerre mondiale évitée et la grandeur nationale restaurée grâce à la dissuasion nucléaire ! Etc. Telle est aujourd'hui la vision dominante de cette période d'" expansion ", objet d'une profonde nostalgie passéiste... au risque de l'aveuglement sur les racines de la crise contemporaine. À rebours d'une histoire consensuelle de la modernisation, cet ouvrage dévoile l'autre face, noire, du rouleau compresseur de la " modernité " et du " progrès ", qui tout à la fois créa et rendit invisibles ses victimes : les irradié.e.s des essais nucléaires en Algérie et en Polynésie, les ouvrier.ère.s de l'amiante ou des mines d'uranium contaminé.e.s, les rivières irrémédiablement polluées, les cerveaux colonisés par les mots d'ordre de la " croissance " et de la publicité... Il nous faut donc réévaluer la période et faire resurgir la voix des vaincu.e.s et des critiques du " progrès " (de l'atome, des pollutions, du productivisme et du consumérisme) antérieures à 1968. L'enjeu est non seulement de démonter les stratégies qui permirent alors de les contourner, mais aussi de les réinscrire dans les combats politiques et écologiques contemporains

At the end of World War II, France's greatest challenge was to repair a civil society torn asunder by Nazi occupation and total war. Recovery required the nation's complete economic and social transformation. But just what form this "new France" should take remained the burning question at the heart of French political combat until the Algerian War ended, over a decade later. Herrick Chapman charts the course of France's long reconstruction from 1944 to 1962, offering fresh insights into the ways the expansion of state power, intended to spearhead recovery, produced fierce controversies at home and unintended consequences abroad in France's crumbling empire. Abetted after Liberation by a new elite of technocratic experts, the burgeoning French state infiltrated areas of economic and social life traditionally free from government intervention. Politicians and intellectuals wrestled with how to reconcile state-directed modernization with the need to renew democratic participation and bolster civil society after years spent under the Nazi and Vichy yokes. But rather than resolving the tension, the conflict between top-down technocrats and grassroots democrats became institutionalized as a way of framing the problems facing Charles de Gaulle's Fifth Republic. Uniquely among European countries, France pursued domestic recovery while simultaneously fighting full-scale colonial wars. France's Long Reconstruction shows how the Algerian War led to the further consolidation of state authority and cemented repressive immigration policies that now appear shortsighted and counterproductive.--
