#Book #ParisIsntDeadYet : Surviving #Hypergentrification in the City of Light
by #ColeStangler
The Paris of popular imagination is lined with cobblestone streets and stylish cafés, a beacon for fashionistas and well-heeled tourists. But French-American journalist Cole Stangler, celebrated for his reporting on Paris and French politics, argues that the beating heart of the City of Light lies elsewhere—in its striving, working-class districts whose residents are being priced out of their hometown today.

Could #France fall to the #FarRight?
#ColeStangler, author of ' #ParisIsntDeadYet'
Presque 10 mn de #DemocracyNow consacrées à la France et aux luttes pour venir à bout de la #contrereformedesretraites , je ne boude pas mon plaisir.
Merci à #AmyGoodman de porter notre combat au delà des frontières de l'hexagone.
Merci également à #ColeStangler pour son papier dans le #NyTimes "France is furious" qui explique parfaitement dans cette vidéo notre situation aux camarades étasuniens.
"Calls to clean up trash on the streets of the capital may fire up the president’s wealthy urban base, but they’ve fallen on deaf ears for most of the country, which has little in common with moneyed Parisians."

French unions say nearly 3.5 million people took to the streets Thursday in a nationwide general strike to protest President Emmanuel Macron’s deeply unpopular move to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Macron forced the legislation through the French National Assembly last week, using a constitutional clause to bypass a parliamentary vote. Macron’s government survived a vote of no confidence Monday by just nine votes, but public anger shows no signs of abating, with France’s major trade unions planning another nationwide protest for Tuesday. “Not only is the government trying to do this pension reform that people see as fundamentally unfair, but they’re ignoring historically large protests even by French standards,” says journalist Cole Stranger from Marseille. His new guest essay in The New York Times is headlined “France Is Furious.”
