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. 606 $aSuburbs$zFrance$zGonesse 606 $aSuburban life$zFrance$zGonesse 606 $aMiddle class$zFrance$zGonesse$xSocial conditions 607 $aGonesse (France)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSuburbs 615 0$aSuburban life 615 0$aMiddle class$xSocial conditions. 676 $a307.740944/361 700 $aCartier$b Marie$0738501 702 $aCartier$b Marie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808727803321 996 $aThe France of the little-middles$93921749 997 $aUNINA
