"Place and Locality in Modern France is an edited collection that successfully analyses
the significance and changing constructions of local place in modern France. Drawing
on the expertise of a range of scholars from around the world, this book is a timely
overview of the cross-disciplinary thinking that is currently taking place over a
central issue in French history. The book investigates the politics of administrative
reform, regionalism and projects of decentralization. It looks at the role of commerce
in engendering narratives and experience of local place, explores the importance of
ethnic, class and gender distinctions, and considers the generation and transmission
of knowledge about local place and culture through academia, civic heritage and popular
memory. In short, this text provides a sweeping account of the concept of the 'local'
in French history in a way that will effectively bridge the divide between micro-
and macro-history for those interested in ideas of locality and culture in modern
French and European history"
