"Presents an account of the fate of Paris' public spaces in the years following Nazi occupation and joyful liberation. Countering the traditional narrative that Paris' public landscape became sterile and dehumanized in the 1940s and '50s, this book instead finds that the city's streets overflowed with ritual, drama, and spectacle."
