Grassroots Political Militants: Banlieusards and Politics.
ByEmilio Quadrelli
French cities burst back into flames after President Sarkozy’s election
on a ‘clean the scum off the streets with a high-pressure hose’ ticket.
It won't be the last time, as long as the factors necessitating the mass
revolt of November 2005 remain in place, in France and elsewhere. This
text, based on Emilio Quadrelli's interviews in the Paris banlieues
during and after the 2005 events, overthrows the whole spectrum of slurs
against the racialised, pathologised racaille. The myth of an all-boy
riot is trashed by female combatant leaders, and leftist commonplaces
incur special scorn, above all those about the inarticulate cry for help
of the ‘socially excluded’
