The French Resistance movement is a crucial part of 20th-century history, not only meticulously studied but also steeped in cultural myths. But what did it really mean to be a Resistance member? Historians S. Albertelli, J. Blanc, and L. Douzou explore the legendary movement from an anthropological perspective. Each of the book's seventeen chapters begins with a visual document—a photograph of an identity card, a reproduction of an underground leaflet, a snapshot of a public or private scene—a unique entry point into the intense and risky everyday life of Resistance participants. Spanning the period from the first expressions of dissent against the occupying authorities in 1940 to the liberation of French territory in the summer and fall of 1944, the authors explore the practices and social networks within the underground world and seek to trace how a movement, long a minority affair, took root in society.
