One of the most significant events of the twentieth century is the end of empire, yet the importance of the empire in shaping contemporary France has traditionally been ignored by historians. By extending our perspective to empire, this book widens our understanding of the Popular Front experience and shows that it represents an important watershed in French history, marking the beginning of an irreversible process of reform that was ultimately to lead to decolonisation and the end of empire.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMICHEL BROT Teaches at the Institute for American Universities in Aix-en-Provence and member, Institut d'Histoire Comparée des Civilisations, Université de Provence\r\nALEJANDRO COLAS PhD candidate, Department of International Relations, London School of Economics and Political Science\r\nCATHERINE COQUERY-VIDROVITCH Professeur d'Histoire Contemporaine de l'Afrique, Université de Paris VII and Director of the research group 'Dynamiques comparées des sociétés en Développement'\r\nGILLES DE GANTES agrégé d'histoire\r\nJOHN HARGREAVES Emeritus Professor of History, University of Aberdeen\r\nJEAN KOUFAN Lecturer in History, University of Yaoundé, Cameroon\r\nDON LACOSS Department of History, University of Michigan\r\nGHISLAINE LYDON Graduate Assistant, Department of History, Michigan State University\r\nPANIVONG NORINDR Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\r\nMARTIN SHIPWAY Lecturer in Twentieth Century French Studies, Birkbeck College, University of London\r\nFRANCE TOSTAIN \r\nGARY WILDER Teaches Modern European History at Pomona College\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 March 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan UK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780333729731\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e264\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804855275660,"sku":"9780333729731","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780333729731.jpg?v=1781785779","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780333729731","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
