Representations of Marginalized Populations in French Wwi Literature - Muted Voices

Comfort's reading of select French literary works about the Great War enhances our understanding of the way that conflict affected non-combatants, West African troops, and wounded veterans. Informed by trauma studies as well as literary history, the study decenters the conventional French World War I narrative that privileges the camaraderie.
