Trop noire pour être française ?

Story

Approximately, because so-called "ethnic" statistics are prohibited, there are an estimated 3.3 million black French citizens. Distant descendants of slaves from the Caribbean or "indigenous" peoples from the French colonial empire in Africa, they constitute a minority that is often discriminated against. Isabelle Boni-Claverie, a mixed-race woman raised in the affluent neighborhoods of Paris, daughter of an Ivorian politician and granddaughter of Alphonse Boni, a Black man who became a magistrate of the French Republic in the 1930s, examines what is blocking the social advancement of Black French people and the full recognition of their citizenship.

«Mêlant approche intimiste et analyses de spécialistes, la réalisatrice franco-ivoirienne Isabelle Boni-Claverie montre combien le passé colonial conditionne le regard de la France sur ses citoyens noirs.»
