It examines what such popular narratives have to tell us about past and present perceptions of the war years in France and how they relate to post-war debates over memory, culture and national identity.Starting with narratives of the Resistance in the late 1940s and concluding with contemporary crime fiction for younger readers, Gorrara examines popular memories of the Second World War in dialogue with the changing social, cultural and political contexts of remembrance in post-war France. From memories of the persecution of Jews and French collaboration to the legacies of the concentration camps and the figure of the survivor-witness, all the crime novels discussed grapple with the challenges of what it means to live in the shadow of such a past for generations past, present and future. 410 0$aCultural history of modern war. 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, French$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCollective memory$zFrance 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLiterature and the war 606 $aFrench fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aFrance$2fast 610 $aAnti-Semitism. 610 $aCollaboration. 610 $aCrime fiction. 610 $aFrance. 610 $aResistance. 610 $aSecond World War. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, French$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aFrench fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a843.0872090914 700 $aGorrara$b Claire$01100145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810345503321 996 $aFrench crime fiction and the Second World War$94098441 997 $aUNINA
