Retirement Home? Ageing Migrant Workers in France and the Question of Return

In intimate ethnographic detail, the author brings to life the experiences of these older labour migrants by sharing in the life of the hostels as a resident, by observing at close quarters the men's family life on the other side of the Mediterranean as a guest in their homes, and even by accompanying them in their travels by bus, sea, and air.

In detalii etnografice intime, autorul aduce la viata experientele acestor migranti muncitori mai in varsta, impartasind din viata hostelurilor ca rezident, observand in apropiere viata de familie a barbatilor de pe cealalta parte a Mediteranei ca oaspete in casele si chiar insotindu-le in calatoriile lor cu autobuzul, marea si aerul.
