| Résumé anglais |
In 1941 welfare residency requirements and removal laws targeted at destitutes in 28 states made a dent in the right of free ingress and egress. The trials and tribulations of Fred F Edwards and Frank Duncan in moving from Texas to California led the United States Supreme Court to reassess the values encapsulated in both the federal union concept and the myth of free and equal opportunities, especially in the American West. The opening of state borders to all citizens, regardless of their property status, entrenched the right to travel. This case also documents the notion that legal discourse is not just a set of technical words but claims meaning for cultural experience. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
