France: voices of the banlieuesTwo interviews carried out at the October 2008 Forum Social des Quartiers Populaires in the Paris suburb of Nanterre reveal some of the political activism taking place, respectively, among French Muslim women and with immigrant elders from former French colonies. In the first case, the issue is raised of whether the wider women's movement will recognise a specifically Islamic feminism. The second interview draws attention to a struggle to recognise memories and experiences that have been largely neglected.
