Wishnia Judith.
The Proletarianizing of the Fonctionnaires: Civil Service Workers and the Labor Movement under the Third Republic.
Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press 1990. First Edition First Printing as stated. Octavo blue cloth hardcover silver letters x 394 pp. Fine As New in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: French civil servants or fonctionnaires were the first state workers in a modern industrial nation to organize unionize and strike. From a handful of militant teachers and postal workers grew a well-organized and powerful political force a group with a highly developed class consciousness and a strong alliance with its blue-collar counterparts. Judith Wishnia’s penetrating study covers the period from 1884 when blue-collar workers in France were first permitted to unionize to 1940 when the Third Republic collapsed. Her work focuses on lower-level state workers -- postal service employees teachers clerks in the finance offices police -- those who keep the machinery of the state operating. Wishnia stresses the foctionnaires search for a political identity and idealogy; their class through the major labor federation the CGT; and their emergence as an important force within the CGT and in national politics. She shows that as the expansion of state employment increased routinization work and lowered wages French fonctionnaires became more conscious of their position as hired workers victims of exploitation by the state just as other workers were exploited by their bosses. She further shows that the political and economic events of the time -- the Great War the inflation of the 1920s the depression of the 1930s and the threat of fascism -- affected the fonctionnaires political involvement. Wishnia also examines the changing role of women in the labor force. She documents the vital role women often played in the development of fonctionnaire unionism and demonstrates the existence of a more widespread and more working-class feminism that is generally recognized. Wishnia’s analysis emphasizes the important connections between experience in the workplace and broader political and economic developments in determining working class consciousness and activity. Her book makes a valuable contribution to the study of the modern working class and the relationship of the state to workers in both the public and the private sectors.

Julian Huxley; Judith Huxley John T. Parks
ARCHIVE MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION OF LETTERS BY JULIAN HUXLEY. ET AL.
1972. Very Good binding. A small archive of correspondence between Sir Julian Huxley the scientist writer and brother of Aldous Huxley and a Mr. John T. Parks of Richardson Texas. ~There are four autograph letters signed and written by Sir Julian. In them Huxley comments on such things as the burning of the White House in the War of 1812 various species of fish and the vices of the Arabs. Of the Arabs he comments: "their greatest trouble was the power of the different sheiks - which led to a form of tribalism and hindered unity. Oil has helped some materially - but even the oil 'kingdoms' are very backward as regards education & health. Let us hope that this division will continue so as to prevent mass war against Israel." This written a mere year before the Yom Kippur War. ~Sir Julian's handwritten letters are at times difficult to transcribe and the archive helpfully includes typed transcripts of them. ~~Correspondent John Parks requested autographs for certain copies of Sir Julian's works one of which is included with the letters: an off-print copy of "World Population" from Scientific American signed by Sir Julian on the front cover. The archive also includes correspondence between Mr. Parks and publishers as well as the subscription department at The New Yorker: "For the trouble I caused him . I asked him and Lady Huxley what they would like short of a herd of longhorn steers . and he said he rather thought that a subscription to The New Yorker would do nicely". Finally includes an autographed letter signed by Judith Huxley daughter-in-law of Aldous thanking the Mr. Parks for the loan of a book. Very Good binding. unknown books
