As someone who is in love with France (well, the food & film & art), and even though it's common knowledge (to those of us that know French culture and history), it still comes as a bit of a shock that these issues are still very much ingrained in and a part of French life and culture. <BR/>As I was reading the post I heard myself gasp, and then had to ask myself why. And I think it's because, especially as scholars, we sometimes hope our work has not been in vain; that all the time we have put into writing, reading, teaching and researching has caused some transnational metamorphosis, and a new order, one in which "race" is not an issue (for lack of a better word), has taken hold.<BR/>But, perhaps that's one solution: instead of spending SO much time behind the scenes, we should go OUT into the world and its communities and plant the seeds of change.<BR/><BR/>KC-Summer Intern at the Kirwan Institute.Filmfemme21https://www.blogger.com/profile/00351945533554204540noreply@blogger.com
