Fixing France: How to Repair a Broken Republic
A French-Algerian journalist on the promises of liberty and equality, and the large part of the population to which they were never actually extended.
A French-Algerian journalist argues that the Republic founding promises of liberty and equality have never been extended to much of its own population, and traces the consequences through the banlieues, policing, secularism, and the colonial past that French public life prefers not to discuss.
