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 contexts. It offers a wide-ranging reassessment of the structures, mentalities, and significance of various conservative and extremist organizations, deepening our understanding of French and European history in a troubled yet fascinating era UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781782382416?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781782382416 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781782382416/original ER -
