Description

Step by Step is based on in-depth interviews Augoyard conducted with the inhabitants of L'Arlequin, a new town on the outskirts of Grenoble. A resident of l'Arlequin himself, Augoyard sought to understand how his neighbours used its passages, streets an parks. In closely scrutinizing everyday life in l'Arlequin, this book draws a fascinating portrait of the richness of social life inthe new towns and sheds light on the current living conditions of France's immigrants.
