A steady stream of high quality journal articles, books, and conferences devoted to French labor history attests to the continued interest in this field. This scholarship, as reflected in the three books under review here, demonstrates a variety of approaches to both traditional and newer themes, rather than evidencing clear tendencies in any given topical or methodological direction. Paul Miller revisits the question of how the French labor movement swung, apparently overnight, from a position of opposition to the approaching outbreak of World War One to acquiescence and indeed support of the national war effort once hostilities began. He offers a cultural approach, arguing that, in spite of its collapse in August 1914, French working-class antimilitarism was an extremely significant cultural phenomenon for decades before the war. Delphine Gardey's careful study of women office workers during the second industrial revolution explores workers often ignored by labor historians and challenges traditional views of their class position. Adam Steinhouse breaks new ground in French labor history with his state-centered analysis of worker participation experiments between 1944 and 1947. A merit of these works is that each implicitly offers empirical evidence towards a more complete understanding of the social and political identities of modern French workers.
