"Ni putas Ni sumisas" fue el eslogan, voluntariamente provocador, con que un puñado de chicas de barriadas obreras lanzó un manifiesto denunciando el machismo y la violencia masculina. El detonante fue el asesinato de Sohane, una joven de dieciocho años que fue quemada viva en un sótano de Cité Balzac. Hermosa e insumisa, Sohane, hija de la inmigración, había pagado con la vida su negativa a plegarse a las normas de funcionamiento de la barriada. Pero este libro, claro y sintético, no es sólo la historia de un movimiento que ha tenido gran repercusión en Francia y que entre otras cosas ha contribuido efectivamente a la promulgación de la llamada "ley del velo", sino que habla también de inmigración, mujeres musulmanas, del feminismo institucionalizado, de las nuevas relaciones entre hombres y mujeres jóvenes, del multiculturalismo y del universalismo, de la laicidad en la escuela, de los barrios como guetos, del movimiento obrero y la falta de trabajo... Es decir, de cuestiones que no sólo afectan a las chicas de las barriadas obreras, sino a todas las mujeres francesas, y de un fenómeno que tarde o temprano ocurrirá en España y en Europa.

Born in France of Algerian parents, Fadela Amara is a human rights activist who speaks with both a personal and a collective voice. This book is a passionate account of her struggle to found the movement called "Ni Putes Ni Soumises" (Neither Whore Nor Submissive), aimed at shattering the law of silence about violence against women within French suburban communities. The questions Amara raises are part of a broader agenda to open contemporary French society to greater ethnic and cultural diversity. These issues also pose problems of national identity and the defense of secularism for the state. As France increasingly confronts such tensions and the emergence of Islamic movements, French cities face problems of unemployment, racial and ethnic discrimination, and violence. Amara's eloquent call for social and gender equality underscores a host of interconnected issues, including France's colonial past and the degradation of the suburbs into ghettos that have progressively marginalized immigrant and working-class communities. Amara and her co-workers have challenged the French Republic's leaders using a strategy that champions republican secular values and stresses the language of universalism to advance individual rights. Women's rights are human rights, they argue, thus casting their demands for equality in terms of a broader struggle for democratic freedoms. Moving, candid, and timely, Breaking the Silence created a sensation when it was published in France. Fadela Amara is currently State Minister for Urban Affairs, charged with the rehabilitation of the very ghettos she describes. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
