Contents/Summary

Summary
France, hailed as being the birthplace of human rights, is a far cry from respecting them when it comes to its contemporary judicial system - functioning differently depending on whether or not they are dealing with the rich or poor or a French citizen or someone who is not. Foreigners in France account for 18% of the prison population. National Identity takes us on an analytic journey into French Institutional racism. It articulates testimonies of foreigners just released from prison, whose countries of origin are former colonies; with an analysis of politicians, judges, lawyers and academics.
