Description

Prisoners of Want provides a comprehensive examination of unemployment and protest movements in interwar France, a period largely overlooked in historical scholarship. Drawing on extensive primary sources including social investigations, medical reports, government documents, novels, memoirs and contemporary newspapers, this study reconstructs both the lived experience and public representation of unemployment during this turbulent era. The book analyses how unemployed protests influenced government policy and shaped the long-term development of France's welfare state, situating individual hardship within the broader context of European social and political change. Essential reading for historians, economists and scholars interested in labour history, social welfare policy and the interwar period.

Key Features

Prisoners of Want draws on diverse primary sources including government reports, medical investigations and newspaper archives to document French unemployment from 1921 to 1945.

This Routledge publication examines how organised unemployed protests influenced policy decisions and the evolution of welfare provision in interwar France.

The book places French unemployment experience within the wider European context of the interwar years and early post-war period.

Combines social history with policy analysis to explore the representation and reality of joblessness during France's most turbulent decades.
