| Summary: |
A labor force coming from the old French
colonies of Africa helped the reconstruction of the
country during the post-war years. This context
led to the development of suburbs and estates.
Even if the Thirty Glorious Years were a
synonym of economical and social development
for migrant populations, the 1970’ and the two
oil chocks revealed deep dysfunctions in French
models of social mobility and integration.
Victim of an underperforming political
thinking in dealing with cities since 1977,
France has not been able to up the challenge of
integrating the suburbs into a homogenous urban
model. Moreover, this situation has stressed the
gap between migrant populations and the rest of
the urban population.
The 2005 riots not only were a rebellion led
by teenagers from the estates but also showed
the critical unease of migrant populations and the
apparent lack of political solutions to integrate
them into the French social system. Those migrant populations daily are victims of
unemployment, discrimination, identity loss, no
possibilities of fitting in the French secularist and
republican school even though they are the key
for France future.
Without a political representation in the
traditional French political spectrum (right
and left political sides), this problem remains a
substantial challenge for French Government.
However, since 2010, new political attempts for
improving cities, schools, public transportations,
economic and industrial activities seem more
ambitious in the medium term and long term. |
