Young people in the Paris suburbs explain why they feel unrepresented

📅 17 December 2018 📍 France

Bondy Blog interviewed young residents of Paris-area working-class neighborhoods who supported some Yellow Vest demands but did not join the marches. They described fear of being stigmatized as “breakers,” a lack of representation and memories of being left alone during earlier struggles. Their testimony complicates claims that the suburbs were simply absent: participation carried different risks, and the relationship between class solidarity and anti-racist politics was unsettled.
