Yellow Vests in Metropolis: A Chance for Transversal Solidarity
Mid Sweden University, Faculty of Human Sciences, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.
2022 (English)In: Contending Global Apartheid: Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility / [ed] Martin Bak Jørgensen and Carl-Ulrik Schierup, Brill Academic Publishers, 2022, p. 143-167Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

The Yellow Vests is an urban protest movement that took off in France in November 2018. It initially contested the increase of petrol tax proposed by Macron’s center-right government. Subsequently however, it developed into a multifaceted anti-austerity movement. Due to the multifaceted nature of the protests, the Yellow Vests’ movement has fueled a series of speculations in the media, reinforced by local expressions of anti-semitic allegations, and isolated sexist and racist acts during demonstrations and protests. In particular, the Yellow Vests have been reduced to being a mouthpiece for populist claims on the part of the ‘left-behinds’ that emerged from the peri-urban areas of the French regional centers. Through the notion of transversal solidarity, this chapter explores possible mediations if not alliances of the heterogeneous ‘white’French precariat in suburban areas.
