[Migrants' childrens' academic achievement:  the contributions of a mobilization approach].
The academic success of migrants' children in France is explored, with an emphasis on the family characteristics that may determine such an outcome.  "How can the surprising academic achievement of a minority of migrants' children who gain admission to university be explained? According to our hypothesis, such an explanation should be found in the families' migration trajectories.  Taking them into account allows one to correct the well-known deficient indicator of social origin:  father's occupation when in France.  Families' strategies and mobilization toward an educational project, part and parcel of their migration project, can thus be explained.  This hypothesis has been tested through the interviewing of two [predominantly Algerian] groups of migrants' children of the Lille region, one having experienced school failure, the second having gained admittance to university."
