Male Working Class Culture in France and the United States

该项目通过对居住在纽约郊区的白人和非裔美国工人阶级男性以及居住在巴黎郊区的阿尔及利亚白人和法国工人阶级男性进行的200次深度访谈，分析了法国和美国的工人阶级文化。它考察了这些人用来定义和区分有价值的人和不值得的人的标准。根据法国和美国中上阶层文化的现有数据，这项研究将探索工人阶级对中上阶层文化的抵制程度、工人阶级文化独特性的下降以及多数和少数工人阶级男性之间的文化差异等问题。这项研究将对理解民族文化和这些文化中的种族差异做出重大贡献。

This project analyzes French and American working class cultures by drawing on 200 in-depth interviews conducted with randomly sampled white and African-American working class men living the New York suburbs and with white and French Algerian working class men living in the Paris suburbs. It examines the criteria that these men use to define, and to discriminate between, worthy and less worthy persons. Drawing on available data on French and American upper-middle class cultures, the study will explore issues such as the extent of working class resistance to upper-middle class culture, the decline of working class cultural distinctiveness, and cultural difference between majority and minority working class men. This study will make a significant contribution to the understanding of national cultures and of racial differences within these cultures.
