Description

Prisoners of Want provides a detailed examination of the experience of the unemployed and their various protests in France during the interwar years from 1921 to 1945. This work addresses a significant gap in historical literature, offering a reconstruction of both the reality and the representation of unemployment during this period. By utilizing a wide range of primary sources, including social and medical investigations, government reports, memoirs, novels, and newspapers, the book builds a comprehensive view of the era. It looks at how unemployment protests impacted authorities and influenced policy decisions. Readers will gain insight into the long-term development of the welfare state and how the actions of the unemployed fit into the broader historical context of France.
