This book considers the ways in which occupied locals responded to and understood their situation, focusing on key behaviours adopted by locals and the beliefs surrounding such conduct. Key topics examined include forms of complicity, disunity, criminality, resistance, and the memory of the occupation. This local case study calls into question overly-patriotic readings of this experience, and suggests a new conceptual vocabulary to help understand certain civilian behaviours under military occupation. Drawing on extensive primary documentation, this book proposes that a dominant 'occupied culture' existed among locals: a moral-patriotic framework, born of both pre-war socio-cultural norms and daily interaction with the enemy, that guided conduct and was especially concerned with what was considered acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. date: 2018-05-01 date_type: published publisher: Manchester University Press official_url: http://www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526117809/ oa_status: green primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1523037 isbn_13: 978-1-5261-1780-9 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Connolly, James lyricists_id: JECON00 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: Cultural History of Modern War place_of_pub: Manchester pages: 328 citation: Connolly, JE; (2018) The experience of occupation in the Nord, 1914-18: Living with the enemy in First World War France.
