Book Launch: Emile Chabal’s France
Wednesday, February 10, 2021 @ 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
FreeJoin us as a panel of experts discuss Emile Chabal’s new short introduction to postwar France. The book explores the contradictions that have shaped French history over the last eighty years, from the calamitous defeat by Hitler’s armies in 1940 through decolonisation, the gilets jaunes and the response to COVID-19. Structured around the idea of paradox, Chabal paints a picture of a nation struggling to reconcile its core political values with the realities of a diverse society.
