FREN 110 SC - Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité? France and the Crises of Globalization
As elsewhere in the world, neoliberal globalization in France has created winners and losers, resulting in the exacerbation of economic, social, and racial inequalities. The backlash against globalization has taken many forms, from the rise of nationalist populism and its anti-immigrant, anti-European Union sentiments on the far-right, to protest movements such as “Nuit-Debout” on the far-left. To understand these developments, we will explore: recent industrial dislocations; immigration in the postwar period; the legacy of French colonialism; Islam in France; the “banlieues” as a site of contestation; the recent refugee crisis; Charlie-Hebdo and other recent terrorist attacks and their aftermaths. Taught in French.
Prerequisite(s): FREN 044 or equivalent.
