The resurgence of such discussions in France, focusing on sensational questions of urban unrest, Islamic fundamentalism and the challenges of increasingly assertive cultural identities, means that it is all the more necessary not to overlook the 'ordinary' majority of young French-North Africans. Their own preoccupations often go unnoticed in a context where issues such as violence in the banlieues and the threat of terrorism are pushed to the fore, sometimes with devastating consequences in terms of discrimination and exclusion.The book rebalances and nuances the debates about post-migrant North-African youth by drawing on extensive empirical research carried out in those suburbs of north-east Paris affected by the riots. It studies the construction of identity amongst this invisible majority and, by adopting an ethnographic approach, addresses the disjuncture between the sometimes inflammatory discourses about this population and their own experiences.North AfricansFranceEthnic identityFrankreichswdNordafrikanerswdNordafrikaswdFrance.Muslim origin.North African immigrants.bottom-up approach.collective identity.cultural experience.descendants.individual identity.post-migrant discourses.socio-economic experience.subjective identities.young people.North AfricansEthnic identity.305.2308992761044Kiwan Nadia1103693MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814650503321Identities, discourses and experiences4027542UNINA
