The Resurgence of the Radical Right in France
This book attempts to account for the resurgence of significant political movements of the Radical Right in France since the establishment of democracy in the country at the end of the nineteenth century. Taking to task historical treatments of the Radical Right for their failure to specify the conditions and dynamics attending its emergence, and faulting the historical myopia of contemporary electoral and party-centric accounts of the Front National, it tries to explain the Radical Right's continuing appeal by relating the socio-structural outcomes of the processes of industrialization and democratization in France to the persistence of economically and politically illiberal groups within French society. Specifically, the book argues that, as a result of the country's protracted and uneven experience of industrialization and urbanization, significant pre- or anti-modern social classes, which remained functionally ill-adapted and culturally ill-disposed to industrial capitalism and liberal democracy, subsisted late into its development.

Meat, Modernity, and the Rise of the Slaughterhouse
This title offers an interdisciplinary look at the rise of the slaughterhouse in 19th-century Europe and the Americas. Over the course of this period, the factory slaughterhouse replaced the hand slaughter of animals by individual butchers. A wholly modern invention, the municipal slaughterhouse was a political response to public concerns.

The Politics of Survival
The problem of the general political inclinations of the petite bourgeoisie, and especially its relationship to fascism, is one of the major questions currently facing historians dealing with European society in the past one hundred years. Independent artisans have at best been seen as an anachronism in the industrial age. Often, they are regarded as the social basis of the fascist movements of the 1920s and 30s because of their supposedly reactionary class interests. Unfortunately, such sweeping analyses--by both Marxists and non-Marxists alike--have been based largely on one case, that of Germany. It is France however, that has been considered the pre-eminent nation of the petit bourgeois, and fascism had only limited appeal there. This is the central question Zdatny addresses in this book as he examines the social and political history of the archetypical petite bourgeois, the self-employed craftsmen of France.
Au village de Brie et du Gâtinais
Ce nouveau livre de Christian de Bartillat se veut d’être la mémoire du quotidien d’autrefois ; la mémoire de l’autre siècle, qui plonge dans tous les temps précédents. Il s’agit là d’une fresque, d’une synthèse des écrits de tous ceux qui, depuis un siècle, sont à l’écoute d’un monde villageois. Ici, nous vivrons avec les familles et les rites qui les accompagnent, de la naissance jusqu’à la mort. Nous regarderons les maîtres et les acteurs du village, grandes familles, curés, instituteurs, laboureurs, artisans, commerçants d’autrefois. Nous participerons à l’année du village, liée aux saisons, où alternent les travaux et les fêtes. Nous pourrons même connaître la vieille culture rurale avec son patois, ses dictons, ses rêves et ses sorciers. Enrichis de ce vrai passé, nous serons mieux à même d’aller vers l’avenir.
