"Riots broke out in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris, following the lethal police
shooting of a 17-year-old boy named as Nahel M. An investigation into his death
is ongoing but the situation has already triggered protest and anger. Whatever
the investigation concludes, the incident forms part of a complex, deep-rooted
problem in France.
It raises the memory of the violence that spread across the city’s suburbs in
2005, lasting more than three weeks and forcing the country into a state of
emergency. Many of the issues behind the unrest back then remain unresolved to
this day and have potentially been aggravated by ever worsening relations
between the police and the public.
During my extensive fieldwork in the suburban estates of Paris, Lyon and
Marseille I have seen and heard first-hand the grievances that are now being
cried out on the streets of Nanterre."
