{"product_id":"francis-jeanson-marie-pierre-ulloa-9780804755085","title":"Francis Jeanson: A Dissident Intellectual from the French Resistance to the Algerian War","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis new biography of Francis Jeanson follows the existential philosopher and political activist from his birth in 1922 to his participation in a government \"cultural action\" program in the late 1960s and '70s. As a young man, Jeanson escaped German-occupied France and joined the Resistance army in Africa. After the war, he pursued a career in France as a writer, philosopher (he was the \"chosen disciple\" of Jean-Paul Sartre), and editor at the Editions du Seuil. During the French-Algerian War, Jeanson founded the Jeanson Network, which collected and transported funds to support the Algerian side in the conflict. He and members of his network were tried and convicted of breaching the security of the state, but Jeanson was eventually reintegrated into French society. His participation in that historical moment and in controversies both philosophical and political that continue to rage today make for a compelling and pertinent read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie-Pierre Ulloa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804755086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804755085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.36w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 4","brand":"Marie-Pierre Ulloa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489225036031,"sku":"9780804755085","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b97e189f-fbcb-4510-a7f2-086fdc9be254.jpg?v=1736952940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/francis-jeanson-marie-pierre-ulloa-9780804755085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
