Les socialistes en Bretagne, étapes et facteurs d’une implantation régionale réussie (1905-2012)

Socialism history in Brittany is a shift from a mission land in a Catholic region which voted for the right, to a political stronghold built by the Socialist Party (PS). SFIO first relied upon the secular republican culture until the fifties. Then, the United Socialist Party (PSU) expanded the Socialist audience to include new social backgrounds, thus renewing a political movement in crisis in the sixties, and offering a springboard for a new generation of activists in the 1970s-1980s.
