Every age has its pariahs, and in 1900, the \"pariahs of Paris\" were the Bretons, the last distinct group of provincials to come \u003ci\u003een masse\u003c\/i\u003e to the capital city. The pariah designation took hold in Paris, in Brittany, and among historians. Yet the derision of recent migrants can be temporary. Tracing the changing status of Bretons in Paris since 1870, Leslie Page Moch demonstrates that state policy, economic trends, and the attitudes of established Parisians and Breton newcomers evolved as the fortunes of Bretons in the capital improved. The pariah stereotype became outdated. Drawing on demographic records and the writings of physicians, journalists, novelists, lawyers, and social scientists, Moch connects internal migration with national integration. She interprets marriage records, official reports on employment, legal and medical theses, memoirs, and writings from secular and religious organizations in the Breton community. As the pariahs of yesterday, Bretons are an example of successful integration into Parisian life. At the same time, their experiences show integration to be a complicated and lengthy process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Page Moch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822351838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822351832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Leslie Page Moch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443719942399,"sku":"9780822351832","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee741e54-6b1c-4155-a269-c3cbaedd3b70.jpg?v=1777207373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pariahs-of-yesterday-leslie-page-moch-9780822351832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
