Karim grew up in South London.He lived in the suburbs with people who owned an estate. When he was a child, Karim and his friends were not used to their lessons, and they always got into fights. Education was not an end in itself.
When they were teenagers, half of them quit school to go to work.They became garage mechanics or managers.
While Karim was studying at college, he meet Eleanor and her crowd. But he left college, much to his parents' regret. In comparison with his new friends, he did not have much knowledge about art and languages...and compared to people like Eleanor he felt down-hearted because he saw that he knew none of the things that Eleanor's crowd wrote books about, whereas Karim prefered to have fun with his friends, singing songs like "I am a walrus". He admired them and wanted to be like them.
He who had once criticized priviliged children envied them now.
Even though he was angry with them, he still wanted to be like them. He always wanted to be able to express himself easily.
He was a commuter with an accent that was typical of the suburbs. He was ashamed of it and resentful. He decided to sever all links with his past when Eleanor told him that his accent was cute.

LOCONNOR

He lived in the suburbs with people who owned an estate.

Means he lived with people who owned a large car. I think the correct translation is:

He lived in the suburbs with the people from the estate.

An estate in the UK is an area of the suburbs.

xpsal

In the Uk an estate refers to a defined area of housing, usually in a common style or built during the same period not necessary in the suburbs

LOCONNOR

Yes you are right, Salim, but in this passage the suburbs are being directly referred to.

xpsal

Oh ok , I was only refering to the last line you wrote, but the context might be right. and it would be possible to translate the real meaning if Justine tells us what he meant in french.
