He seems to regret, for example, that in small-scale, labour-intensive garlic farming, ’hesitant’ Cadours had a buffer against modernization which ’slowed the elimination of very small farmers’. Amann is aware that his interviews give voice only to the successful, rather than to those who have simply given up the struggle and left their small farms, but the large number of the latter who have returned, for example to retire in Buzet and Juzet d’lzaut, surely could have permitted a more rounded set of interviews. As Amann notes, the full consequences of these changes are far from evident, particularly given the decline of the political clout of European farmers within the EEC.

Gone are the post-war stereotypes of a monolithic state driven forward by a single will towards war and genocide. Instead there is a more complex picture of the regime and its actions, one that shows the instability of the dictatorship, its dependence on a measure of consent as well as coercion, which recognises the constraints on political action, the fickleness of popular attitudes and the ambiguous, ephemeral nature of acclamation and opposition alike. This is a remarkable collection of essays by lead...
