This book offers a refreshing interdisciplinary perspective on an under-researched migrant minority: the French in London. Through a blended ethnographic lens, it provides insights into the complex lived experience of cross-Channel mobility and settlement processes in on-land and on-line settings.
Who make up London's French 'community'? Why did they choose to leave France and settle in London? How is (London-) Frenchness played out in physical and digital diasporic spaces? And what impact has Brexit had on French Londoners' sense of belonging, identity and embeddedness?
Drawing on in-depth interviews, focus groups, field observations and an archived corpus of online sources, the book offers hitherto unseen insights into the everyday materialities, practices and settlement processes of a diverse group of French people who have chosen to make London home. It challenges the predominance of pragmatic reasoning in mobility and instead underlines the affective and pre-reflexive. From the underlying migration triggers of the French social space, to participants' intimate homemaking practices on-land and on-line, this book breaks hitherto uncharted ground in Migration Studies and Digital Humanities.
