Inhaltsangabe

Roger Gould goes beyond previous accounts of conflicts in France that portray the Paris Commune of 1871 as a continuation of the class struggles of the 1848 Revolution. By focusing on the less turbulent years in between these two social upheavals, Gould reveals that while class played a pivotal role in 1848, it was neighborhood solidarity that was a decisive organizing force in 1871.

Baron Haussmann's massive urban renovation projects between 1852 and 1868 dispersed workers from Paris' center to newly annexed districts on the outskirts of the city. Residence rather than occupation quickly became the new basis of social solidarity. Drawing on evidence derived from trial documents, marriage certificates, reports of police spies, and the popular press, Gould demonstrates that this fundamental rearrangement in the patterns of social life made possible a neighborhood insurgent movement; whereas the insurgents of 1848 fought and died in defense of their status as workers, those of 1871 did so as members of a besieged urban community.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In this important contribution both to the study of social protest and to French social history, Roger Gould breaks with previous accounts that portray the Paris Commune of 1871 as a continuation of the class struggles of the 1848 Revolution. Focusing on the collective identities framing conflict during these two upheavals and in the intervening period, Gould reveals that while class played a pivotal role in 1848, it was neighborhood solidarity that was the decisive organizing force in 1871.
