In April-May, 2011 Ekaterina B. Demintseva conducted fieldwork in France among immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa. The research was carried out in Paris and its suburbs upon the invitation of Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme.

In the course of the fieldwork a series (about 30) of semistandardized interviews with immigrants from Mali, Cameroon, Benin, Togo, and the Republic of the Congo were done. The results of this fieldwork are to be discussed at the Center’s seminar and published as series of articles in 2011-2012.
