Reihe: Studies in Modern French and Francophone History

This book traces the history of post-war France by tracking the Comité Régional d'Action Viticole (CRAV), a militant collective of winegrowers who have used protest and violence to push back against attempts to modernise the French economy and state and the wider impacts of globalisation.
