Description
Using class analysis to understand the dynamics of political conflict in mid-nineteenth-century France, this title explores political activity among workers in three industrialized French cities - Toulouse, Saint-Etienne, and Rouen. It analyses the failed municipal revolutions of 1871 and the triumph of liberal-democratic institutions in France.
