Rafe Blaufarb
Rafe Blaufarb taught in Auburn's History Department from 1999 to 2006.
A specialist in French history, 1530-1830, with thematic interests in military history, the history of the state, and the Age of Revolution in the Atlantic world, he received his B.A. from Amherst College in 1985 and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1996. His first book, The French Army, 1750-1820: Careers, Talent, Merit (Manchester, 2002), treats the meritocratic transformation of the French military profession across the revolutionary period. His second book, Bonapartists in the Borderlands: French Exiles and Refugees on the Gulf Coast, 1815-1835, on the French settlement in territorial Alabama known as the Vine and Olive colony, was published by the University of Alabama Press in 2006. His current research is on state centralization, taxation, and social conflict in early modern France, 1530-1789 and on the impact of Latin American independence in the broader Atlantic world.
