Fragile Lives Violence, Power and Solidarity in Eighteenth-Century Paris

The rich and complex texture of working-class neighborhoods in eighteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in this collage of the experiences of ordinary people--men and women, rich and poor, masters and servants, neighbors and colleagues. Exploring three arenas of conflict and solidarity--the home, the workplace, and the street--Arlette Farge offers the reader an intimate social history, bringing long-dead citizens and vanished social groups back to life with sensitivity and perception.Farge, Arlette is the author of 'Fragile Lives Violence, Power and Solidarity in Eighteenth-Century Paris' with ISBN 9780674316379 and ISBN 0674316371.
