Catholic Royalism in the Department of the Gard 1814-1852
The history of a counter-revolutionary movement in southern France.
Peasants and Protest
In the first decade of the twentieth century, the sleepy vineyard towns of the Aude department of southern France exploded with strikes and protests. Agricultural workers joined labor unions, the Socialist party established a base among peasant vinegrowers, and the largest peasant uprising of twentieth-century France, the great vinegrowers' revolt of 1907, shook the entire south with massive demonstrations. In this study, Laura Levine Frader explains how left-wing politics and labor radicalism in the Aude emerged from the economic and social transformation of rural society between 1850 and 1914. She describes the formation of an agricultural wage-earning class, and discusses how socialism an...

Entitlement and Complaint
"Entitlement and Complaint explores the early history of the right to retirement and the shaping of the modern life course, applying cutting-edge insights from social, cultural, and political history as well as gerontology to an extraordinarily rich collection of retirement dossiers from the post-Revolutionary French Ministry of Justice.

The book argues that a succession of poli...

Entreprise viticole et capitalisme en Languedoc Roussillon
Malgré son caractère apparemment spécialisé, l'ouvrage intéressera, croyons-nous, des catégories de lecteurs bien diverses : Tous les ruralistes évidemment d'abord, car peu de milieux ruraux ont été analysés avec cette précision, à laquelle contribuent à la fois le maniement professionnel des sources documentaires et l'intimité avec le pays. Les économistes aussi, à qui est présenté un cas original et complexe de domination capitaliste coexistant avec une concentration foncière incomplète. Tous les historiens enfin qui, ayant en mémoire l'ampleur, exceptionnelle au XXe siècle, du mouvement des vignerons de 1907, devront désormais recourir à Rémy PECH pour en mieux co...
Lordship in France, 1500-1789
This book, the final installment of a two-volume history of French lordship, examines the role of lordship in old regime society, the internal structures and administration of lordship - including the seigneurial dues, domain-farms, forests and common lands, and serfdom - and seigneurial justice. In addition, the book reviews the regional patterns of lordship, and concludes with an examination of lordship from 1770 to 1789, the years immediately preceding the French Revolution.
