Description
The Mission, the San Francisco « Barrio»: the Making of an Hispanic Neighborhood and its Commercial Street in the United States (1950-2000).
Today, the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco is identified as the Hispanic neighborhood of the city - the « barrio». It was not always the case : after World War II, it was still predominantly inhabited by white working class residents who immigrated from Europe a few decades ago. From the 1950s on, and increasingly in the 1960s and 1970s, the Mexican and Central American immigration deeply changed the neighborhood and its shopping street. However, at the turn of the century, the Mission residents are much more diverse than it is commonly believed. Analyzing the role of church, school and local organizations also shows that social ties in the neighborhood are weak. It shatters the myth of a strong coherent immigrant community.

Le quartier de la Mission, à San Francisco, est identifié aujourd'hui comme le quartier hispanique de la ville, le « barrio ». Or il n'en a pas toujours été ainsi, et au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il était encore peuplé de classes populaires blanches, issues de l'immigration européenne. L'immigration en provenance du Mexique et de l'Amérique Centrale a profondément transformé le quartier et sa rue commerçante, la 24ème Rue, à partir des années 1950, et surtout 1960 et 1970. Cependant, au tournant du siècle, la population de la Mission est beaucoup plus hétérogène que l'opinion ne veut le croire. L'examen du rôle de l'église, de l'école, des associations locales et de la rue commerçante dans la Mission révèle la faiblesse des liens sociaux à l'échelle du quartier et met à mal le mythe d'une communauté d'immigrants hispaniques aux fortes solidarités.
