Autant le dire simplement, j’aime Marseille. J’y ai vécu, et j’y retourne souvent. Deux parties de la ville qui n’ont a priori rien à voir m’occupent depuis des années. La première se passe à la Castellane, dans les fameux quartiers nord. Fin 2011, juste avant Noël, un garçon de 17 ans, prénommé Kamel, y était assassiné à la kalachnikov. Deux jours après, trois dealers grillaient dans un « barbecue ». Une balle dans la tête et des corps brûlés dans une voiture, parce que « ça prend vite feu ». Kamel habitait la cité de Zinedine Zidane que j’avais arpentée aux temps où l’on célébrait la France « blanc, black, beur ». En 2011, les trafiquants de la Castellane n’avait pas encore fait résonner leurs fusils mitrailleurs à la veille d’une visite du premier ministre à Marseille et la cité ne faisait pas les gros titres de journaux. Mais, on disait déjà qu’elle abritait le plus gros marché de stupéfiants de la région, voire de France, ce qui était vrai. Dans la même période, on assistait à l’ascension des deux frères Guérini, Jean-Noël, qui présidait le conseil général des Bouches-du-Rhône et Alexandre, qui retraitait déchets et ordures. Quand Kamel a été abattu en bas de son immeuble, Jean-Noël venait d’être mis en examen pour, entre autres, « trafic d’influence » et « association de malfaiteurs ». Le juge qui instruisait le dossier parlait d’un « système mafieux » mais le socialiste continuait à diriger le département. Son frère Alex, poursuivi pour les mêmes motifs (plus quelques autres dont la « détention » d’un chargeur de pistolet Glock), sortait de cinq mois de détention préventive mais lui aussi continuait à diriger ses entreprises. Ces deux histoires parallèles ont fini par se rencontrer. D’un côté, les quartiers nord, les zones périphériques réservées aux descendants d’immigrés, l’économie de la drogue et sa violence à l’état brut. De l’autre, les quartiers sud, la partie « corso-marseillaise » de la ville, son économie tout court et sa violence recyclée dans les urnes. Deux mondes dissemblables et pourtant imbriqués, l’un expliquant l’autre. Et entre deux franchissements de frontières, j’allais au Cercle des Nageurs, ce club de natation, dont la célébrité s’accroît après chaque compétition internationale. Ce livre est né de mes allers et retours entre ces deux mondes, avec le Cercle au milieu, comme un miroir grossissant de la ville. Marseille est belle et tragique, tout chez elle semble soumis à la fatalité. Marseille est elle-même un cercle, un cycle éternellement recommencé, que rien ne vient jamais briser, la définition même de la tragédie. Marseille a une histoire. Cette histoire la rend unique. Et cette histoire l’enferme. Tous ceux qui ont prétendu vouloir lui offrir un autre destin ont été éjectés du cercle. Marseille, quel que soit le maire qui occupe son hôtel de ville, et quel que soit le gouvernement qui au sommet de l’État promet d’y ramener de l’ordre, reproduit toujours les mêmes formes. Ses habitants eux-mêmes, qu’ils me pardonnent de parler à leur place, enragent d’en être prisonniers mais, qu’on leur donne la clé, ils n’ouvrent pas pour autant la porte pour s’échapper. Sinon quoi ? Leur ville serait comme toutes les autres. »M.-F. E.

Formerly the gateway to the French empire, the city of Marseille exemplifies a postcolonial Europe reshaped by immigrants, refugees, and repatriates. The Marseille Mosaic addresses the city’s past and present, exploring the relationship between Marseille and the rest of France, Europe, and the Mediterranean. Proposing new models for the study of place by integrating approaches from the humanities and social sciences, this volume offers an idiosyncratic “mosaic,” which vividly details the challenges facing other French and European cities and the ways residents are developing alternative perspectives and charting new urban futures.

An NPR Best Book of 2017 Heiress to the nearly forty-billion-dollar L’Oréal fortune, Liliane Bettencourt was the world’s richest woman and the fourteenth wealthiest person. But her gilded life took a dark yet fascinating turn in the past decade. At ninety-four, she was embroiled in what has been called the Bettencourt Affair, a scandal that dominated the headlines in France. Why? It’s a tangled web of hidden secrets, divided loyalties, frayed relationships, and fractured families, set in the most romantic city—and involving the most glamorous industry—in the world. The Bettencourt Affair started as a family drama but quickly became a massive scandal, uncovering L’Oréal’s shadowy corporate history and buried World War II secrets. From the Right Bank mansions to the Left Bank artist havens; and from the Bettencourts’ servant quarters to the office of President Nicolas Sarkozy; all of Paris was shaken by the blockbuster case, the shocking reversals, and the surprising final victim. It all began when Liliane met François-Marie Banier, an artist and photographer who was, in his youth, the toast of Paris and a protégé of Salvador Dalí. Over the next two decades, Banier was given hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts, cash, and insurance policies by Liliane. What, exactly, was their relationship? It wasn’t clear, least of all to Liliane’s daughter and only child, Françoise, who became suspicious of Banier’s motives and filed a lawsuit against him. But Banier has a far different story to tell... The Bettencourt Affair is part courtroom drama; part upstairs-downstairs tale; and part characterdriven story of a complex, fascinating family and the intruder who nearly tore it apart.

The Starving Empire traces the history of famine in the modern French Empire, showing that hunger is intensely local and sweepingly global, shaped by regional contexts and the transnational interplay of ideas and policies all at once. By integrating food crises in Algeria, West and Equatorial Africa, and Vietnam into a broader story of imperial and transnational care, Yan Slobodkin reveals how the French colonial state and an emerging international community took increasing responsibility for subsistence, but ultimately failed to fulfill this responsibility. Europeans once dismissed colonial famines as acts of god, misfortunes of nature, and the inevitable consequences of backward races living in harsh environments. But as Slobodkin recounts, drawing on archival research from four continents, the twentieth century saw transformations in nutrition, scientific racism, and international humanitarianism that profoundly altered ideas of what colonialism could accomplish. A new confidence in the ability to mitigate hunger, coupled with new norms of moral responsibility, marked a turning point in the French Empire's relationship to colonial subjects—and to nature itself. Increasingly sophisticated understandings of famine as a technical problem subject to state control saddled France with untenable obligations. The Starving Empire not only illustrates how the painful history of colonial famine remains with us in our current understandings of public health, state sovereignty, and international aid, but also seeks to return food—this most basic of human needs—to its central place in the formation of modern political obligation and humanitarian ethics.

During May 1968, students and workers in France united in the biggest strike and the largest mass movement in French history. Protesting capitalism, American imperialism, and Gaullism, 9 million people from all walks of life, from shipbuilders to department store clerks, stopped working. The nation was paralyzed—no sector of the workplace was untouched. Yet, just thirty years later, the mainstream image of May '68 in France has become that of a mellow youth revolt, a cultural transformation stripped of its violence and profound sociopolitical implications. Kristin Ross shows how the current official memory of May '68 came to serve a political agenda antithetical to the movement's aspirations. She examines the roles played by sociologists, repentant ex-student leaders, and the mainstream media in giving what was a political event a predominantly cultural and ethical meaning. Recovering the political language of May '68 through the tracts, pamphlets, and documentary film footage of the era, Ross reveals how the original movement, concerned above all with the question of equality, gained a new and counterfeit history, one that erased police violence and the deaths of participants, removed workers from the picture, and eliminated all traces of anti-Americanism, anti-imperialism, and the influences of Algeria and Vietnam. May '68 and Its Afterlives is especially timely given the rise of a new mass political movement opposing global capitalism, from labor strikes and anti-McDonald's protests in France to the demonstrations against the World Trade Organization in Seattle.

In the decades following World War II, French jazz audiences engaged in a process that both challenged and reinforced ideas about their own nation and culture. By negotiating subjects such as youth culture, gender expectations, American consumer society, citizenship, racism, civil rights, and decolonization, the French jazz public expressed important beliefs about France’s place in a fast-changing world and a desire to maintain a strong national identity in the face of globalization.
