Ahlala que dire? Un bijou des sciences sociales tout simplement. Je crois que j'ai souligné TOUT le texte.

Somme de savoirs utiles sur l'immigration algérienne, dommage que le style pompeux/ jargonneux desserve un peu les idées
Ce que jai préféré : entretiens des premiers chapitres, incroyables, l'article sur les 3 âges de l'émigration (il faudrait écrire le 4ème âge etc.), concept de double absence, les parties sur le langage (ex : l'hypercorrection de l'accent) et le corps, le chapitre sur le traitement des émigrés par la société d'émigration
