I think it is much more on the political level than on the economical one... In any case, here is an article I incidentally read yesterday and which might be of interest to you (since I know you read french): http://www.21eme-siecle.org/assets/f...le%20vague.pdf There I learned that for a matter of months, France could have had a Black President (well, by interim) in 1968 after De Gaulle resigned, in the person of Gaston Monnerville... Then again, I don't know what to make of those types of articles, if they are too optimistic or not... |

It was not actually him but the other students who started chanting that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Cohn-Bendit His "foreign" origins were highlighted by opponents of the student movement, leading to students taking up the chant, "Nous sommes tous les juifs allemands" ("We are all German Jews"). (sorry, I spent a few minutes having trouble phrasing that in English, so I eventually decided it would be easier for everyone to copy that from there!) |
