State Power, Stigmatization, and Youth Resistance Culture in the
French Banlieues: Uncanny Citizenship foregrounds the literary,
sociological, and political structures of urban literature in
France. It uses postcolonial theory, sociology, and political
philosophy to investigate the modalities surrounding the question
of citizenship in a country where citizens of African descent are
not only considered a threat to national identity, but also caught
between inclusion and exclusion. By examining the literary,
sociological, and political structures of urban literatures
produced after the 2005 riots, this book interrogates the questions
of citizenship, belonging, and coexistence in a context where
literature from the "periphery" has become a site where "central"
political power and "mainstream" French literary canons are
contested. Moreover, these productions clearly reveal an unexplored
correlation between geo-aesthetics and contemporary French national
geopolitics. Ultimately, this book is a plea for a serious approach
to social formation in postcolonial France in a way that transcends
skin color, and instead is based on a shared colonial past, as well
as current social disqualifications.
