This landmark study follows the Nour family - a Moroccan immigrant couple and their eight French-born children - for more than a decade, offering an intimate and unflinching portrait of migration, resilience and inequality.

Through sustained ethnographic observation and life-story interviews with family members, neighbours, teachers, magistrates and social workers, Catherine Delcroix demonstrates the extraordinary analytical power of the in-depth case study. Drawing on Norbert Elias' concept of configuration, she illuminates intergenerational and gender dynamics within the family, while revealing how public policy shapes - and often distorts - the lives of those it purports to serve.
