The different explanations and dimensions of inequalities are addressed, particularly globalization, technical progress, in-work poverty, changes in labor market institutions, education and intergenerational mobility, growth and development. The nine chapters provide simplified models exploring each of these elements, and assess commonly accepted explanations and mechanisms."--Publisher's website.

Les transformations qui affectent nos sociétés ont de lourdes conséquences sur les ouvriers des banlieues, souvent immigrés, et plus encore sur leurs enfants: évoluant dans une société hostile, ceux-ci développent de multiples stratégies face à un avenir incertain. A travers une étude ethnographique, réalisée dans une cité HLM d'une ancienne "banlieue rouge", ce livre montre que le discours commun sur ces jeunes ne résiste pas à la pluralité des enjeux sociaux, ni à la complexité des situations. Il atteste aussi qu'une page de l'histoire ouvrière se tourne définitivement.
