    'England has been the biggest victim of the colonial mindset. It is vulnerable to feeling nostalgic about the empire and wanting to feel superior to others... which makes it difficult to accept the reality'.

  6. Let me explain #laïcité:
    • Pluralist secularism: The law of 1905 enacts the separation of State and Church, the neutrality of civil servants and the freedom to express one's religion.
    • Unitary secularism was launched by the movement campaigning for a law against headscarves in schools (passed in 2004). It enjoins citizens to show "republican values".

  7. Today is the anniversary of the victory of a militant struggle in France.
    White men of left and right coordinated to push young brown and black women back to their rightful place: subaltern.

    October 2003: Lycée Henri Wallon in Aubervilliers expelled two sisters for wearing headscarves. A deafening political and media controversy ensued. The polemic obtained a law enacted on 15 March 2004, that banned girls wearing headscarves from schools.

    Nathalie (in 2015): "I have children to feed and I’m looking for work, so I’m taking off my headscarf. I have no choice. No choice."
