Increasingly, anthropological techniques have been applied to the
study of urban life in Western Europe. In this book, based on
intensive fieldwork in a major French provincial city (Lyon),
Grillo shows how an anthropological perspective enhances our
understanding of institutional processes and ideological forces in
industrial society, presenting a detailed account of relations
between the indigenous French population and immigrant workers and
their families of non-French origin. The framework of the book is
provided by two linked themes. First, the study shows how the
situation of immigrants is represented ideologically by various
elements of French society, as well as by the immigrants
themselves, in different ways as 'problematic'. Dr Grillo examines
this ideological dimension initially by contrasting the discourses
of the political Right and Left concerning a range of immigrant
'problems', for example in the fields of housing, family life,
school, language use and work. He then shows that not only are
there significant ideological differences within both Right and
Left, but also similarities between them which stem from certain
basic cultural preoccupations of French thought.
