Finally, instead of establishing my own historical-critical exegesis of the text, I discuss the necessity of engaged exegesis. …

Discrimination Towards Algerian-French Citizens In Post-Colonial French Cinema, Jessica Bou-Anak Jan 2015

Discrimination Towards Algerian-French Citizens In Post-Colonial French Cinema, Jessica Bou-Anak

Senior Honors Projects

The films were released in the aftermath of a significant event in France dealing with racism. Two main themes were prevalent throughout this analysis: discrimination by Caucasian-French citizens towards Algerian-French citizens in public spaces, and Caucasian-French police brutality against Algerian-French youths. The findings from this analysis suggest that discrimination and racism in France still persist today, although in different forms.
