«To Fight like Dustbin-Rakers»
«To fight like dustbin-rakers» is often used in French. Why is it so ? Why was violence associated with this group ? Fieldwork conducted near families of former rag-and-bone men, living in a neighbourhood of Nanterre (a suburb near Paris) until the 1950s, endeavours to explain this association. There was a professionnal violence when ragmen fought for the collecting spaces, and there was a domestic violence within instable households. However violence is not disorder : the business is quite structured and solidarity runs along the members of the group. One can wonder if, eventually, violence is not purely an external vision of the group. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
