      abstract = {The Paradise of Association is the first comprehensive  treatment of the tumultuous revolutionary clubs of 1871. It  proposes an innovative approach to the Paris Commune, the  largest urban uprising in modern European history. For Marx  and Lenin the Commune was a brilliant harbinger of  proletarian dictatorship; for others, it was merely the  last of the nineteenth-century revolutions. The Paradise of  Association argues instead that the Commune resulted from  revolutionary action by popular clubs and was shaped by the  unique political culture fostered within them. The volume  combines a detailed social analysis of 733 club militants  with a "new cultural history" perspective, examining the  language and practices of popular organizations in relation  to such topics as historical memory, gender difference,  definitions of citizenship, and revolutionary symbolism.},
