France is a bellwether for the postcolonial anxieties and populist
politics emerging across the world today. This book explores the
dynamics and dilemmas of the present moment of crisis and hope in
France, through an exploration of recent moral panics. Taking stock
of the tensions as they have emerged over the last quarter of a
century, Paul Silverstein looks at urban racial violence, female
Islamic dress and male public prayer, anti-system gangster rap, and
sporting performances in and around which debates over France's
multicultural future have arisen. It traces these conflicts to the
unresolved tensions of an imperial project, the present-day effects
of which are still felt by many. Despite the barriers, which
include neo-nationalist racism and Islamophobia, French citizens of
various backgrounds have found ways to build flourishing lives.
Silverstein shows how they have responded to urban marginalisation,
police violence and institutional discrimination in remarkably
creative ways.
