I warn immediately that the delicious raspberry nothing to do with this whole thing! It simply provides the book its title.
In its "survival kit of mankind" (says the 4th of coverage), Dominique Louise Pélegrin recounts her "adventures vegetable" in a staggered fashion and fun while teaching, replacing the chapters of his book by " boardwalk, the famous vegetable beds it seeks to grow despite the setbacks inflicted by an insomniac owl and a bat mad! I read this book when it debuted in 2003 and I really liked.
Here are two quotes that illustrate a less scientific but However, more entertaining, what Delphy said in Thinking kind, the second volume of the main enemy : women's work is worthless, it does not count in the national GDP * . My intention, nor that of DL Pélegrin is not of course advocating the return of women to the kitchen by the culture of leek, but rather to show how women's work is treated according to its destination , a Working without eternal value (when it is done inside the home) or a maximum extra employee but when it is performed outside !
" If the leeks out of line, it's always with his girlfriend housewife. Its very green leaves, bursting, exceed its basket and is the chief ornament. In our mythologies, the housewife character- Surprisingly, we talk more than we see it, never leaves home without her basket, which thus exceeds the leek. We know it may be less than fifty years, sometimes more, which is a curious way to define people. The age of the leek is never specified. When the basket, he's the main character. The basket covered by the Funds to the National Accounts . the radio is that it speaks .
The housewife, unfortunately for her, was badly unraveled. Everything she does seems worthless. Once she has paid leeks at the market, it disappears market exchanges, yet in our wonderful society, nothing else seems to exist. So it is grappling with slugs, prepare a good dish for her family! This is not considered as wealth creation . At the same time, the nearest restaurant, an employee who washed vegetables earns a salary. The plat du jour, "leek gratin" is available at this price, including VAT.
feet in the mud, the housewife can be pulled leeks with a fork, she shot down his knife on an assortment of blue ribbons, wet and bulky before splitting any einkorn and leek bring on the kitchen table. If the leeks from the garden, the famous basket does not, yet, as we have seen him one account. So in these cases, all free and nothing exists. We feel they are weird, these ways of counting who deny any consumption of the families " .
And
" Livestock and work in the fields earn money . The work of the garden and the thousand other tasks allow women to save especially . [....] In the farm system, a man who worked out for hours is entitled to find the table set, wine in the decanter, cut the bread, salad in the bowl of hot vegetable , [....] short, something prepared and well presented. The meal is an important moment, a reward, a way to regain his strength. The converse is not true: if a woman has worked particularly hard, she never could sit and wait for this wonderful gift, everything is ready when she arrives hungry, that poses next to his spoon hot and fragrant " .
Christine Delphy Pélegrin that DL has played for sure, also compares the same work : employee when he is in a restaurant and free when it comes to home cooking, and farm labor paid when they sell their products on markets and free when it is intended to feed their families. GDPs do male recognize that market exchange and are based on the exploitation, depletion and destruction of natural resources, gifts of nature and women, I I'm afraid, are part of "natural resources", resources gift of nature available and abundant!
* GDP: Gross Domestic Product
