Book Synopsis


Trade Review

“Bouton is to be congratulated for producing an enterprising and imaginative rereading of a seminal moment in the history of French popular protest.”

—Journal of Modern History


“A principal merit of this lucidly written, intelligently argued study is that it focuses our attention on community politics in pre-revolutionary France. Cynthia Bouton shows how, during a period of political and economic crisis, rioters formulated and satisfied their demands for food at fair prices. At the same time, they redefined community boundaries and allegiances and renegotiated community power relations, while reshaping individual and collective consciousness in the process.”

—Darline Gay Levy,New York University
