«Les chiffonniers d'Emmaüs» is Boris Simon's testimony on the Emmaus movement, published by Editions Michalon in paperback (322 pages, in French).
Boris Simon recounts from his experience alongside Abbé Pierre the birth of the Emmaus communities in 1949. He shows the role of the rag-pickers in the movement, their work of mutual aid and the fight against social exclusion, as well as the evolution of this experience into a solidarity project.
The 2004 edition includes a new preface by Abbé Pierre; the cover reproduces a black-and-white photograph.
Recommended for those interested in the social history of 20th-century France and the origins of the Emmaus movement.
