Jeunesse et société dans la France de l'entre-deux-guerres

Abstract

Youth and society in interwar France, Antoine Prost. In the French society of the interwar period, still close to the 19th century, the social organization of passage from childhood to adulthood, which defines youth, differed greatly as between the bourgeoisie and the remaining strata, working class or peasants. There was no single youth, but two youths. Neither the bourgeois youth nor the youth of the masses were at odds with society. Integration mechanisms proved stronger than generational conflicts.
