Description
Summary:The article analyses the poaching as a resistance form whereby the rural communities dodged the laws that restricted the free usufruct of the hunting resources from their environment. To do this, the text takes as a frame of the study the Portuguese region of Alentejo between 1910 and 1917. The paper is divided into three parts: first, it studies the hunting legislation; second, it analyses the poaching in the region by means of the information compiled in regional newspapers and regional government's files; and, third, it delves into the poaching nature through the judicial files from local courts. The main conclusion is that, in spite of the restrictive laws, poaching was a widespread practice in the region that it was mainly used by the people from the working classes to obtain some extra economic resources during unemployment periods.
