"Contrary to most of the empirical enquiries devoted to the analysis of school democratization in France, during the period 1985-95, our own research has been based on a long ethnographic investigation at Sochaux-Montbéliard, an old Peugeot factories area. The aim of our fieldwork, made of  participant observation and in-depth interviews, was to suggest an empirical critique of this policy of democratization. The research empathizes on the strong contradictions within the working class families."
