Following mobilizations against the cost of living, the prefect of Réunion imposed restrictions on movement and a night curfew. Political theorist Françoise Vergès reads this exceptional measure against the island’s colonial history and the unequal treatment of protest in overseas France. This is a useful counterpoint to accounts that treat the Yellow Vests as a movement confined to metropolitan France.
