Researches on immigrants in France: from the "guest worker" to the trader à la valise
Le ricerche sugli immigrati in Francia: dal “lavoratore ospite” al commerciante à la valise
Résumé
A critical overview of French migration studies (1960-2009). Migrations and their interpretations are strongly related to the social, economic and political situation of the country in which they take place. In particular, migration studies often appear as a pensée d 'Etat, revealing vital information on the social issues of the societies that generate them and on the interpretations, evolutions and contradictions that mark them. In this paper we will analyze the French social sciences' publications on migration, from the moment they start, in the sixties, to the present. Following their evolution, observing the concepts and analyses that develop over time, as well as recurrent topics and research streams, will allow us to identify, in a Well-established scientific tradition, some important tools for analyzing and understanding issues in contemporary Italian society.
