Susan Whitney

Mobilizing Youth

Communists and Catholics in Interwar France

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Susan Whitney has a fascinating story to tell, and she tells it very well. She weaves individual voices and stories throughout her narrative, giving a human face to the highly contested landscape of youth organization in interwar France. Her thickly described sociocultural history plunges the reader into the world of young workers (Catholics and Communists, male and female), and her superb analysis reminds us of the often brutal impact that the First World War had on the children who lived through it and grew up to become young workers in its immediate aftermath."--Laura Lee Downs, ecole des Hautes etudes en Sciences Sociales
