Ma 6-T Va Crack-er
''Ma 6-T va crack-er'' (Standard French: ''Ma cité va craquer'', English translation: ''My suburbs are Going to Crack'', derived from ''craquer'' ("break down") and the drug crack cocaine) is a French movie directed by Jean-François Richet in 1997, caricaturing gang warfare. Richet explicitly made in an interview references to Marxism-Leninism as his ideology to produce this movie. This influence is strong in one dialog where the teenagers say that a workers' strike is "more powerful against the system" than a ghetto riot. Also, the lyrics of 2Bal2Neg anthem "La Sédition" that we can hear at the end of movie speaks about "class struggle against the bourgeois class" and "a vanguard party founded to overthrow the society". Setting The story is set in a ''cité'' (''6-T'' in French slang), or housing project, in the Parisian suburb of Meaux. The residents are unhappy about their living conditions and are rebelling against this. Some critics compare it to the film ''La Haine'', ...

Social Situation In The French Suburbs
The word ''banlieue'', which is French for "suburb," does not necessarily refer to an environment of social disenfranchisement. Indeed, there exist many wealthy suburbs, such as Neuilly-sur-Seine (the wealthiest commune of France) and Versailles outside Paris. Nevertheless, the term ''banlieues'' has often been used to describe troubled suburban communities—those with high unemployment, high crime rates, and frequently, a high proportion of residents of foreign origin mainly from former French African colonies and therefore Berbers, Blacks, and Arabs. Historical context Rebuilding of France after World War II The destruction of World War II, coupled with an increase in the country's population (due both to immigration and natural increase) left France with a severe housing shortage. During the 1950s, shantytowns (''bidonvilles'') developed on the outskirts of major cities. During the winter of 1954, popular priest Abbé Pierre urged the government to work on behalf ...

2005 Civil Unrest In France
The 2005 French riots (french: Émeutes de 2005 dans les Banlieues Françaises), was a three-week period of riots in the suburbs of Paris and other French cities, in October and November 2005. These riots involved youth in violent attacks, and the burning of cars and public buildings. The unrest started on 27 October at Clichy-sous-Bois, where police were investigating a reported break-in at a building site, and a group of local youths scattered in order to avoid interrogation. Three of them hid in an electrical substation where two died from electrocution, resulting in a power blackout. (It was not established whether police had suspected these individuals or a different group, wanted on separate charges.) The incident ignited rising tensions about youth unemployment and police harassment in the poorer housing estates, and there followed three weeks of rioting throughout France. A state of emergency was declared on 8 November, later extended for three weeks. The riots result ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
