Author Robert Paxton examines the Greenshirts in five case studies, throwing new light on French rural society and institutions during the Depression and on the emergence of a new rural leadership of authentic farmers. Paxton points out that fascism remained weak in the French countryside because the French state protected landowners more effectively than did those of Weimar Germany and Italy, and because French rural notables were so firmly embedded in social and economic power. Although the Greenshirts disappeared with the Third Republic, they left a double legacy: a tradition of peasant direct action, which is still exercised today; and the idea of France as a peasant nation, whose identity and virtues rest upon the persistence of a large peasant sector. That self-image continues to influence French policy choices today, long after the social structure on which it rested has disappeared. 606 $aFascism$zFrance$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFascists$zFrance$vBiography 606 $aPeasants$zFrance$xPolitical activity$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1914-1940 615 0$aFascism$xHistory 615 0$aFascists 615 0$aPeasants$xPolitical activity$xHistory 676 $a320.53/3/08863 700 $aPaxton$b Robert O$0144511 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818945103321 996 $aFrench peasant fascism$94066808 997 $aUNINA
