Izvleček:A sociological inquiry into Maghrebi immigrant families' experiences in urban Paris distils interview data from Algerian and Moroccan parents. Findings reveal that most feel ashamed in their employment and housing situations. Mothers' and fathers' viewpoints are contrasted regarding their children and housing. Tenement living has weakened family morale and discipline. Causes and outcomes of young peoples' disillusionment with education are explored. Many families face a quandary of supporting young adults in a job sector of high unemployment. One father's disappointment in his children's accomplishment is illustrated in an extended interview excerpt. In contrast with the dominant ethno-culturist accounts, Maghrebi family disorders are attributed to social and economic factors that affect immigrants before others.
