Xenophobia and exclusion in the professions in interwar France. - 464 p.

Adviser: Herrick Chapman.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2001.

The dissertation explores the social origins of xenophobia and exclusion in the legal and medical professions in France between the two World Wars. The movement led by French lawyers, doctors, and students to exclude foreigners and naturalized citizens from their professions demonstrates that the criteria of nationality was central to protectionism in those fields. My research, however, revealed that sexism, ageism and class conflict were also prevalent in corporatist discourse and action. This plurality of discrimination calls for an evaluation of how factors such as fear of unemployment helped to create a general climate of resentment against various competitors, regardless of nationality.

520 $a The dissertation explores the social origins of xenophobia and exclusion in the legal and medical professions in France between the two World Wars. The movement led by French lawyers, doctors, and students to exclude foreigners and naturalized citizens from their professions demonstrates that the criteria of nationality was central to protectionism in those fields. My research, however, revealed that sexism, ageism and class conflict were also prevalent in corporatist discourse and action. This plurality of discrimination calls for an evaluation of how factors such as fear of unemployment helped to create a general climate of resentment against various competitors, regardless of nationality.
520 $a Yet economic protectionism does not fully explain this exclusion either. I argue that lawyers and doctors determined certain social categories to be unacceptable fellow members not only to reduce competition, but also to forge the solidarity of their <italic>corps</italic> through the making of homogenized and prestigious professions. Only by taking into account the construction of professional identity can we better understand the persistence of xenophobia and other forms of exclusion.
520 $a In the dissertation, I analyze the motivations and strategies of lawyers, doctors, and students as a mobilization “from below”, in which outspoken individuals rallied fellow colleagues to their cause, corporatist groups crystallized exclusion into an official professional platform, and influential leaders guided exclusionary legislative projects successfully into law.
520 $a At the crossroads of knowledge and power, lawyers and doctors constitute a social category often overlooked by scholars despite the compelling perspective they offer into the study of discrimination. Not only did their unique status enable them to achieve their professional goals, but their social and political influence was crucial in spreading and rendering acceptable a public discourse of xenophobia in interwar France. Comparative analysis of the two professions allows for a rich understanding. The thesis offers a revised perspective on existing scholarship by recognizing a more problematized xenophobia which includes other forms of discrimination. Finally, through a careful study of the mechanisms of a social movement, the underlying argument of the thesis places the origins of Vichy exclusion in Third Republic France.
