Dissertation: Work & Intellect: The Autodidactic Odyssey of Benoit Malon
This case study of the nineteenth century French reformist socialist Benoît
Malon (1841-1893) analyzes the political influence of self-educated
workers on the French left and labor movement. Malon’s posthumous legacy carried weight both in the idealistic political platforms of Jean Jaurès and Leon Blum, both left-wing leaders of the French state, as well as in the cultural autonomy espoused by French syndicalists within the labor movement.
