France, you love it or you shut up, book by Rokhaya Diallo

A major figure in feminism and anti-racism, Rokhaya Diallo delivers here a summary of her struggles in 55 columns. In a decade, she has become an essential voice in the fight against oppression in France and around the world. Committed against racism and against sexism, an actress in cultural life, she questions French society and, from her unique position, confronts it with its unthought-of. Black or Muslim feminism, Islamophobia and the misuse of secularism, white fragility, French identity and injunction assimilation, state racism and police harassment, colonial memory, popular cultures, American cinema and series: so many themes which have marked Rokhaya Diallo's interventions in the public debate.

In a substantial introduction and a contextualization of the columns organized into chapters, the author explains her commitment and the unique position she has chosen to occupy in the City. If Rokhaya Diallo's analyses touch her readers so powerfully, it is because she manages to educationally link the political and the intimate, the body and the State, the unraveling of oppressions and the support of emancipations.
