Finkielkraut, the author of "The Undoing of Thought," is in this case undone by his own thought. The riots, in which not only Muslim youth, but perfectly French youth partook, and across the nation, are economic in origin—not racial or religious. Sure many youths happen to be Muslim or black who partook in the riots. But so did disaffected, white French youth.
Outsourcing (délocalisations) is on the rise in France. Employee´s rights are dwindling as the neoliberal, neofascist agenda is implemented throughout the EU.
The Fillon bill (la loi Fillon), named after minister of Education Fraçois Fillon, and Sarkozy’s heavy-handedness in dealing with students, has brought about the situation.
As for the question, "What sort of Frenchman are they?," they are the epitomy of Frenchness: unlike the United States, when the French are dissatisfied with their government, they bring it to a screeching halt. Ras-le-bol stops the country. That is the essence of a democracy.
