The Memory of Colonialism in Britain and France
L’homosexualité? ça n’existe pas en banlieue ’
Since its founding in 2005, the anti-racist organisation Les Indigènes de la République has acquired a certain notoriety in the French public eye as a fresh voice of the anti-racist Left.

This article examines how the Indigènes engaged with LGBTQ minorities as they tried to articulate ‘intersectional’ views of the Republic. While t…

This article will examine the emergence of two of these organisations: Les Indigènes de la République and the Conseil représen…
