This new edition of Multi-Ethnic France spans politics and
economics, social structures and cultural practices and has been
updated to cover events which have occurred on the national and
international stage since the first edition was published. These
include:
- recent developments in the banlieues, including the riots of
2005
- the growing visibility of sub-Saharan Africans in France's
evolving ethnic mix
- the reverberations in France of international developments such
as 9/11, the second Intifada and the Iraq Wars
- the renewed controversy over the wearing of the Islamic
headscarf
- the development of anti-discrimination policy and the debate
over 'positive discrimination'.
Immigration is one of the most significant and persistent issues
in contemporary France. It has become central to political debate
with the rise, on one side, of Jean-Marie Le Pen's extreme
right-wing party and, on the other, of Islamist terrorism. In
Multi-Ethnic France Alec G. Hargreaves unmasks the prejudices and
misconceptions faced by minorities of Muslim heritage and lays bare
the social and political neglect behind the riots of 2005.
Including a glossary and chronology, a fully updated
bibliography, and information on internet sites, this second
edition is essential reading.
