Although provided with a French identity card, the West Indians are paradoxically associated with immigrants... 1963, in the West Indies, misery rages and social movements shake the region in acute economic crisis. France urgently needs unskilled labour. From the West Indies, he organized a massive migration to France. It's Bumidom time. For 20 years, it will provide postal workers, customs officers, RATP agents, cleaning ladies...

The exiles tell us about the fights, the difficulties and the failures, their hopes and the difficulty of being black French, so apart. Written by BLM See less
