Drawing upon a field study on social mobilizations of pupils' parents' in Seine-Saint-Denis, this paper discusses the role of local attachment and relations to place, analyzed through parents' individual trajectories, among social determinants of political involvement. Residential experience, along with other biographical aspects of parents’ trajectories, should not be overestimated as factors of activism and different levels of political involvement. This paper defines a typology of individual trajectories regarding social, political and residential dimensions. It also considers interviewees' social characteristics and how they became involved as parents, showing the diversity of biographical trajectories in the stigmatized Seine-Saint-Denis district.
