The Experience of Occupation in the Nord, 191418: Living with the Enemy in First

Description: The Experience of Occupation in the Nord, 191418 by James E. Connolly Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A study of actual and perceived French civilian behaviours under German military occupation in 1914-18, from complicity and criminality to forms of resistance. Providing a new conceptual vocabulary, the book posits that an occupied culture existed and guided civilian responses to the German presence, and each other. Publisher Description This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Much of the French department of the Nord was occupied during the First World War. This book considers the ways in which occupied locals responded to and understood their situation, focusing on key behaviours adopted by locals and the beliefs surrounding such conduct. Key topics examined include forms of complicity, disunity, criminality, resistance, and the memory of the occupation. This local case study calls into question overly-patriotic readings of this experience, and suggests a new conceptual vocabulary to help understand certain civilian behaviours under military occupation. Drawing on extensive primary documentation, this book proposes that a dominant occupied culture existed among locals: a moral-patriotic framework, born of both pre-war socio-cultural norms and daily interaction with the enemy, that guided conduct and was especially concerned with what was considered acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. -- .
