Prenant comme point de départ l'analyse de ces textes aussi bien que de ses deux romans, ses archives personnelles (y compris sa correspondence) et les archives de la police, l'article donne une meilleure compréhension des influences déterminantes sur l'évolution idéologique de Guérin. dans deux sens: (i) la transformation d'un fils de la grande bourgeoisie en militant révolutionnaire ouvriériste (ii) la façon dont Guérin lui-même a représenté sa jeunesse et sa ‘métamorphose’ dans ses écrits autobiographiques et dans des interviews.

The article also argues that despite the apparently protean nature of his political itinerary, there was in fact always an underlying ideological consistency to Guérin's libertarian Marxism.Ĭet article explore la jeunesse de Daniel Guérin (1904–88), connu à partir des années 30 comme socialiste révolutionnaire et militant en vue de l'anticolonialisme, de l'antimilitarisme et de l'émancipation homosexuelle. Rather than focusing exclusively on the influence of his liberal, Dreyfusard family, or the impact of his relationships with working-class men or his experiences of colonial realities, it brings to light the influence on him of Tolstoy and of Gandhi, an influence which would inform a strong ethical core in his libertarian conception of socialism. Based on a close reading of these sources, his two novels as well as his private papers and other archival material including police reports, it provides fresh insights into the formative influences on his ideological development. It examines the ‘making of Daniel Guérin’ in two senses: (i) his transformation from a son of the grande bourgeoisie into a workerist revolutionary and anti-imperialist and (ii) Guérin's own retrospective representation of his early years through his autobiographical works, as well as interviews. This article explores the early years of Daniel Guérin (1904–88), who from the 1930s onwards became known as a leading revolutionary socialist and campaigner for decolonisation, antimilitarism and homosexual liberation.
