"Return to The Homeland" is a reflective sociological work created by the French philosopher and sociologist Didier Elipon based on his own experiences. After the death of his father, the author Didier Eripon decided to return to his birthplace of Reims and to rediscover the social class he was born into and the group of people he had bid farewell to for thirty years. He goes back in time, looks back at the history of his family, recalls the working class he was in as a child, and how he went from poor children of working families to famous Intellectuals in France...
In this extremely intrinsic and subversive spiritual journey, the author thinks about a series of themes such as social class, school education, identity building, etc., and analyzes how people's "personal choices" are affected and determined in different social environments by combing the fate trajectory of different individuals in collective determinism.
Between confession and reflection, this book is not only a personalized academic work, but also a story told by the author in combination with his own background and growth experience, which is an academic discussion in the eyes of researchers and a simple and resonant memoir in the eyes of ordinary readers.
A work of self-analysis that resonates strongly
A social critique that explores the growing plight of the underprivileged
.
How did prominent intellectuals reconcile with the native class?
No longer blame the problem on family and psychological trauma
In the education system and class differences, we reflect on the shaping of society on people
It's "a labor to change yourself."
But it is looking for the possibility of rebellion for more poor people
