Book launch - F Langrognet, Neighbours of Passage: A Microhistory of Migrants in a Paris Tenement, 1882-1932 (Routledge, 2022)
At this launch event for Fabrice Langrognet’s new book, entitled Neighbours of Passage: A Microhistory of Migrants in a Paris Tenement, 1882-1932 (Routledge, Microhistories series, 2022), Dr Langrognet will present the book, and Professor Abigail Green will respond by providing her take on the volume. Professor Martin Conway will chair the event, which is supported by the Oxford Centre for European History, and will be followed by drinks in the garden or in the Common Room, depending on the weather.

The book centres on the lives of the occupants of a tenement complex just north of the French capital, in the heart of a suburb called Plaine-Saint-Denis. The study examines the ways in which, over time, the inhabitants of that particular place perceived themselves and others, and how these dynamics of identification were correlated with their interpersonal contacts, interactions with institutions and decisions about migration.
