Description
This book is about French primary school teachers at the beginning of the Third Republic. It is a history of their revolutionary culture and of the real contradictions and paradoxes that moved some three thousand of these state employees to openly embrace the revolutionary labor movement before the First World War. In 1905, their Syndicalist Manifesto declared: During the day, we teach the children of the people. Isn't it natural that at night we wish to associate with the working people, themselves? The administrators of the Third Republic did not find these desires to associate with working class culture as being natural, and they discouraged it in a variety of ways.
