Chibanis and chibanias or long-term (in)hospitality
In this paper, we discuss the concept of (in)hospitality and its implications in the daily life of elderly immigrants in France today. On the basis of the qualitative surveys we used, we have come to focus more specifically on the ageing of chibanis and chibanias, those immigrants who came to France...
