Abstract
ABSTRACT This article offers a microhistorical perspective on interethnic violence. It focuses on a fait divers that took place in 1900 near Paris and was widely construed as a result of ethnic antagonism. Drawing from a multitude of archival records, the article critically assesses the retrospective accounts of that multi-participant fight, and resituates it in its social context. It argues that a variety of factors were at play, among which ethnicity was not dominant. This assessment emerges from a close analysis of the combatants’ background and contingent rivalries, as well as an examination of structural causes such as hyper-masculinity and alcoholism.
期刊介绍：
Immigrants & Minorities, founded in 1981, provides a major outlet for research into the history of immigration and related studies. It seeks to deal with the complex themes involved in the construction of "race" and with the broad sweep of ethnic and minority relations within a historical setting. Its coverage is international and recent issues have dealt with studies on the USA, Australia, the Middle East and the UK. The journal also supports an extensive review section.
