Contrary to the dominant understanding of the critique of totalitarianism as an abrupt rupture induced by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's \u003ci\u003eThe Gulag Archipelago\u003c\/i\u003e, Christofferson argues that French anti-totalitarianism was the culmination of direct-democratic critiques of communism and revisions of the revolutionary project after 1956. The author's focus on the direct-democratic politics of French intellectuals offers an important alternative to recent histories that seek to explain the course of French intellectual politics by France's apparent lack of a liberal tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Scott Christofferson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571814272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571814272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Michael Scott Christofferson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896852504831,"sku":"9781571814272","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c11fb20-67a0-4353-95ea-7884d84086be.jpg?v=1721372498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-intellectuals-against-the-left-michael-scott-christofferson-9781571814272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
