Its symbolic importance arises principally from the barricades of Eric Hazan's native Paris, where they were instrumental in the revolts of the nineteenth century, helping to shape the political life of a continent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The barricade was always a makeshift construction (the word derives from \u003ci\u003ebarrique\u003c\/i\u003e or barrel), and in working-class districts these ersatz fortifications could spread like wildfire. They doubled as a stage, from which insurgents could harangue soldiers and subvert their allegiance. Their symbolic power persisted into May 1968 and, more recently, the Occupy movements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hazan traces the many stages in the barricade's evolution, from the Wars of Religion through to the Paris Commune, drawing on the work of thinkers throughout the periods examined to illustrate and bring to life the violent practicalities of revolutionary uprising.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Hazan\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder of the publisher La Fabrique and the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eNotes on the Occupation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA People's History of the French Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e and the highly acclaimed \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Paris\u003c\/i\u003e.
