L'histoire de l'immigration a longtemps été occultée dans la transmission de l'histoire nationale. Au moment où s'ouvrait la Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration Porte-Dorée à Paris, l'Institut national de recherche pédagogique a lancé une enquête sur l'enseignement de cette histoire longue et riche. Entre prescriptions et écritures des manuels scolaires, entre pratiques réelles de classe et représentations professorales, cet ouvrage entend dresser un état des lieux du statut de l'histoire migratoire en France, de l'école primaire à la terminale. Comment s'organisent et évoluent les programmes officiels et l'écriture des manuels scolaires? Comment se définissent les objectifs des enseignants face aux élèves, dans leur classe, et en lien avec l'institution tout entière? Quelles démarches de travail sont initiées afin de rendre compte de cette dimension humaine et sociale qui fait partie intégrante de l'histoire nationale? Quel passé pluriel peut rendre compte de cette histoire longue, complexe et dense, qui a construit la France d'aujourd'hui

Debates about the legacy of colonialism in France are not new, but they have taken on new urgency in the wake of recent terrorist attacks. Responding to acts of religious and racial violence in 2005, 2010, and 2015 and beyond, the essays in this volume pit French ideals against government-sponsored revisionist decrees that have exacerbated tensions, complicated the process of establishing and recording national memory, and triggered divisive debates on what it means to identify as French. As they document the checkered legacy of French colonialism, the contributors raise questions about France and the contemporary role of Islam, the banlieues, immigration, race, history, pedagogy, and the future of the Republic. This innovative volume reconsiders the cultural, economic, political, and social realities facing global French citizens today and includes contributions by Achille Mbembe, Benjamin Stora, Françoise Vergès, Alec Hargreaves, Elsa Dorlin, and Alain Mabanckou, among others.

North African immigrants, once confined to France?s social and cultural margins, have become a strong presence in France?s national life. Similarly, descendants of immigrants from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia have gained mainstream recognition as filmmakers and as the subject of films. The first collective volume on this topic, Screening Integration offers a sustained critical analysis of this cinema. In particular, contributors evaluate how Maghrebi films have come to participate in, promote, and, at the same time, critique France?s integration. In the process, these essays reflect on the conditions that allowed for the burgeoning of this cinema in the first place, as well as on the social changes the films delineate. Screening Integration brings together established scholars in the fields of postcolonial, Francophone, and film studies to address the latest developments in this cinematic production. These authors explore the emergence of various genres that recast the sometimes fossilized idea of ethnic difference. Screening Integration provides a much-needed reference for those interested in comprehending the complex shifts in twenty-first-century French cinema and in the multicultural social formations that have become an integral part of contemporary France in the new millennium.

This book explores national attitudes to remembering colonialism in Britain and France. By comparing these two former colonial powers, the author tells two distinct stories about coming to terms with the legacies of colonialism, the role of silence and the breaking thereof. Examining memory through the stories of people who incited public conversation on colonialism: activists; politicians; journalists; and professional historians, this book argues that these actors mobilised the colonial past to make sense of national identity, race and belonging in the present. In focusing on memory as an ongoing, politicised public debate, the book examines the afterlife of colonial history as an element of political and social discourse that depends on actors’ goals and priorities. A thought-provoking and powerful read that explores the divisive legacies of colonialism through oral history, this book will appeal to those researching imperialism, collective memory and cultural identity.

How is history represented? As just a record of the past, as a part of a present identity or as future goals? This book explores how historical contents and narratives are presented in school textbooks and other cultural productions (museums, monuments, etc) and also how they are understood by students, in the context of increasing globalization. In these contemporary conditions, the relation between history learning processes, in and out of school, and the construction of national identities presents an ever more important topic. It is being studied by looking at the appropriation of historical narratives, which are frequently based on the official history of a nation state. Most of the chapters in this volume are educational studies about how the learning of history takes place in school settings of different countries such as Canada, France, Germany, Latin America, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Covering such a broad sample of cultural and national contexts, they provide a rich reflection on history as a subject related to patriotism, cosmopolitanism, both or neither.

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, efforts to improve human rights, social equality, and democracy in western Europe have faced growing challenges that range from economic and medical crises to the resurgence of the tribalist far right. Studying western European cinema reveals how filmmakers have been using their art to reflect on the region’s contemporary problems and potentials. In Conflict and Survival in Contemporary Western European Film, John Alexander Williams and Alexandra Hagen have collected a diverse array of essays that analyzehow filmmakers have portrayed forms of strifeand endurancein the new century. Divided into three thematic sections—historical conflicts and national identities; migrants, natives, and battles over space; and ethical struggles in everyday life—this book offers case studies of historical context, narrative, and form in a range of significant recent films. Showcasing such movies as Days of Glory, A War, Code Unknown, The Edge of Heaven, Toni Erdmann, The Great Beauty, and Weekend, this fascinating collection presents contemporary filmmakers as critical citizen-artists who are directly involved in interrogating the past, present, and future of Europe.

Connu pour ses travaux sur les immigrés, Abdelmalek Sayad s'est également intéressé à la place de leurs enfants dans l'école française. Écrits entre la fin des années 1970, à un moment où les enseignants voient arriver de nouveaux publics issus des regroupements familiaux, et la fin des années 1990, alors que la problématique de leur échec scolaire est devenue prégnante dans les débats publics, ces textes étaient restés jusqu'à présent inédits ou cantonnés à une diffusion confidentielle. Sayad saisit cette question dans sa genèse et montre comment les dispositifs et les pédagogies mis en œuvre pour réconcilier ces élèves avec l'école en valorisant ce que l'on suppose être " leur " culture engendrent des mécanismes de relégation dont les effets se révèlent désastreux. À célébrer la diversité en occultant le poids des facteurs sociaux, nombre d'enseignants en sont venus à oublier que la mission première de l'école républicaine est bien d'inclure ces enfants dans la société à laquelle la trajectoire migratoire de leurs parents les destine, et non de maintenir à toute force un lien avec leurs " origines " – au risque de les y enfermer. Présentés par Benoit Falaize (Université de Cergy) et Smaïn Laacher (Université de Strasbourg), ces textes révèlent avec une remarquable acuité les malentendus d'une politique scolaire qu'il est urgent, à partir de Sayad, de repenser. Sociologue, directeur de recherche au CNRS, Abdelmalek Sayad (1933-1998) est notamment l'auteur de La Double Absence (Seuil, 1999) et, avec Pierre Bourdieu, du Déracinement (Minuit, 1977).
