The Poplars housing development in suburban Paris is home to what
one resident called the "Little-Middles" - a social group on the
tenuous border between the working- and middle- classes. In the
1960s The Poplars was a site of upward social mobility, which
fostered an egalitarian sense of community among residents. This
feeling of collective flourishing was challenged when some
residents moved away, selling their homes to a new generation of
upwardly mobile neighbors from predominantly immigrant backgrounds.
This volume explores the strained reception of these migrants,
arguing that this is less a product of racism and xenophobia than
of anxiety about social class and the loss of a sense of community
that reigned before.
