回归故里 = Retour a Reims

After the death of his father, Didier Eribon returns to his home town of Reims, and returns to his original environment, with which he had more or less broken thirty years before. He decides to immerse himself in his past and trace the history of his family. Evoking the working-class world of his childhood, restoring his social ascension, he mixes at each stage of this intimate and deeply moving story the elements of a reflection on classes, the school system, the fabrication of identities, sexuality, politics, vote, democracy ... Re-inscribing individual trajectories in collective determinism, Didier Eribon questions the multiplicity of forms of domination and therefore of resistance. A great book of sociology and critical theory
