In France, though, an older potential born of imperialism has propelled the far right of Jean-Marie and Marine Le Pen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo explain how the National Front gained a foothold in France, \u003cem\u003eEmpire's Legacy\u003c\/em\u003e connects local politics with historical developments that span nearly two centuries. Its analysis hinges on the idea of political potential: the possibility that a social group will support a movement, pressure group, political party, or other organized option. Starting from the French conquest of Algeria, John W.P Veugelers follows the career of a potential, showing how it erupted into support for the National Front in Toulon, the largest city under the far right of any postwar European democracy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelying on archival research, electoral surveys, and personal interviews, Veugelers shows that voluntary associations, interest-group politics, and patron-client relations knit together a far-right affinity bequeathed by French imperialism. Veugelers examines the possibilities and limits of far-right power at the local level, moreover, and the barriers that effective, scandal-free government pose to extremist success. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring new terrain in the study of contemporary politics, \u003cem\u003eEmpire's Legacy\u003c\/em\u003e makes the case for a subcultural approach that connects social networks to symbolic codes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn W.P.
