George Floyd protests stir difficult race debate in France, expose failure to integrate non-White immigrants, their descendants
FirstpostIn the wake of George Floyd’s killing, agonising reflections on race have spread far beyond the United States. Christiane Taubira, who was the first Black woman named justice minister in France, serving from 2012 to 2016, said that a “structural discrimination” has prevented non-White minorities from finding their place in French society. “In France, they want us to stay locked inside Seine-Saint-Denis,” said Diémé, whose novel, Boy Diola, recounts his father’s emigration to France from Senegal, a former colony in West Africa. We fall between two stools.” Norman Ajari, a French philosopher who specialises in race and teaches at Villanova University, said that the failure to integrate communities like Seine-Saint-Denis underscored the failure of France’s universalism. “We gave the impression to a whole generation of young people in France that we didn’t understand the reality of discrimination in France and the violent racism they experienced every day,” Narassiguin said.
