Ego-histories of France and the Second World WarWriting VichyEditors: Manu Braganca &#38; Fransiska LouwagiePalgrave 2018This volume presents the intellectual autobiographies of fourteen leading scholars in the fields of history, literature, film and cultural studies who have dedicated a considerable part of their career to researching the history and memories of France during the Second World War. Based in five different countries, Margaret Atack, Marc Dambre, Laurent Douzou, Hilary Footitt, Robert Gildea, Richard J. Golsan, Bertram M. Gordon, Christopher Lloyd, Colin Nettelbeck, Denis Peschanski, Renée Poznanski, Henry Rousso, Susan Rubin Suleiman and Peter Tame have played a crucial role in shaping and reshaping what has become a thought-provoking field of research. This volume, which also includes an interview with historian Robert O. Paxton, clarifies the rationales and driving forces behind their work and thus behind our current understanding of one of the darkest and most vividly remembered pages of history in contemporary France.See Palgrave’s website for additional information: Ego-histories of France and the Second World WarDr Manu BragancaAssistant Professor in French StudiesUCD School of Languages, Cultures and LinguisticsUniversity College DublinNewman BuildingBelfield, Dublin 4Latest publications freely accessible online:-on violence in France in the 21st century: click-on memories of WWII in Europe: click-on the curious history of Mein Kampf in French language in French, English or Spani
