European Tribune - Comments - Montmartre - "I sing the body electric"

Montmartre - "I sing the body electric" | 13 comments (13 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

It sounds very interesting. While trying not to be knee-jerk about it, I'm suspicious of talk of "Muslim" youth etc, when in fact the situations and individual attitudes are varied and complex. Just a quote I picked up from the book ref you gave:

episode | I Am

the worldwide negative trend posed by media coverage of Muslims is too often designated as an environment of social marginalization

(not sure about "designated" there) but one could add "of fear".

The photos are good. And ethnically varied.

Re: Montmartre (none / 1)

Well, it's how the young women interviewed self-identify.
