The Making of the Banlieue “This carefully researched and beautifully written book provides us with a much needed account that resists the homogenisation of banlieue youth as an undifferentiated, rowdy, violent mass. Luuk Slooter invites us to hear their voices; at times unruly, perhaps violent even, but far from the stereotypical images that demonise them en masse.” —Professor Mustafa Dikeç, Ecole d’Urbanisme de Paris, France “Since the late seventies, the French ‘banlieues’ have been famous all over the world for their riots, with a peak in 2005. However, apart from these pivotal moments, we don’t know much about these neighbourhoods and their inhabitants. This is why this book is so important: living there, sharing the daily experience of young people, talking with them during months of fieldwork enables Luuk Slooter to offer us an impressive, perfectly documented study: a great monograph!” —Professor Michel Wieviorka, Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, France “The book is a rare, nuanced and holistical examination of the implications of one of Europe’s most important bouts of civil unrest in the past century. It puts human stories to inhabitants of some of the most marginalised areas of contemporary Europe and demonstrates their daily struggles and strategies in an effort to become more, and not less, French.” —Joseph Downing, European Institute, London School of Economics, UK
