COURSE DESCRIPTION Experiences and memories of conflict have played an important role in shaping the development of France from 1900 to the present. This period of French history is marked by two world wars, Occupation and Liberation, colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria, the student revolt of May 1968, the strike wave of 1995, and the riots of November 2005. In this course we study the underlying causes and nature of the wars and civil unrest. We investigate links between conflict, cultural production, and social change; and we examine the legacies of conflict in debates about what it means to be ‘French’ and France’s relationships with other parts of the world. All essential sources for the course are available in English.

SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY Further reading is an essential part of any course in History and will deepen your understanding and enjoyment of the period and the discipline of history. The select bibliography below provides points of departure for further reading on the topics covered in the course and is supplemented by the topics covered in essays. The footnotes and bibliographies of these books and articles are two sources of further reading; the search-features of the library catalogue, browsing the open shelves, and consulting the course co-ordinator are other ways forward. A major outcome of a university should be an ability to find information on any topic within your field. You are encouraged to show initiative in developing this ability.
