Despite the scholarship and political activism devoted to keeping the memory of the Paris Commune alive, there still remains much ignorance both in France and elsewhere, about the traumatic civil war of 1871 and particularly about the terrible retribution meted out by the French state on its own citizens; some 20,000 to 35,000 people were killed on the streets of Paris in just the final week of the conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColette E. Wilson identifies a critical blindspot in French studies which since the 1960s has focused primarily on representations of the Commune by writers and artists who were either Communards themselves or at least sympathetic to the Communard cause.
