About 337,000 people of French Antillean Origin live in
metropolitan France today. Unlike immigrants from North Africa,
Turkey or sub-Saharan Africa, Antilleans are French citizens with
deep roots in French history. Indeed, the Caribbean Islands they
come from have been a part of France for over three centuries.
Antilleans were for many years an invisible population, dispersed
throughout the Paris region, with few community organizations and
little political activism. Beginning in the early 1980s, however,
activists in the Antillean community began to recognize that their
status as citizens would not protect them from the growth of racism
in France. From neighborhood groups interested in promoting
traditional Martinican and Guadeloupan dance and music to
politically charged associations, these new cultural militants
denounced French colonialism, challenged racism, and demanded
political representation. Black Skins, French Voices is situated at
the intersection of changing French ideas and policies regarding
ethnic diversity and Antillean demands for recognition. It shows
the creative and exciting struggles of Antilleans to remake French
culture on their own terms.
