The NY Times has an article on the impact of Obama's candidacy on blacks in France. French blacks are disillusioned by the official race-blind policy in midst of racial disparities. From reading it, it seems to me that its really about people starting to listen to what these people--black French intellectuals and activists--have been saying before Obama's candidacy. However, the candidacy seems to give fuel to the fire. Also, I'm not sure a return to negritude is the answer.
The article mentions French-Cameroonian writer, Léonora Miano and Patrick Lozès's advocacy group CRAN.
