College of Arts and Sciences, Room 205
Wednesday, October 14th 2015
12-1pm
Guest Speaker
Steve Harp specializes in the history of France. He is professor of History, professor of French, and director of Humanities at UA.

What’s on the Menu…
This book project investigates the people who “made” the French Riviera from the elite travelers who migrated seasonally to the Mediterranean to the laborers who built and served. Largely accepting elite travelers’ version of events, neither popular nor academic historians have paid attention to the people who literally “built” or “made” the French Riviera: the construction workers, hotel and restaurant employees, gardeners, chauffeurs, and maids, many of whom were Italian immigrants in the interwar years and North Africans after 1945. This book will redress the balance by telling their story, alongside that of the elites they served.
