uprising in France

Very interesting analysis of the riots and protests in France. Most of the newspapers have presented convoluted stories about how the protestors are anti-reform and lazy. But this article explains in details, what the movement is about, which is job security. It then analyzes conditions in France for poor and immigrant young people who live in the suburbs and suffer discrimination and racism. It compares the 1968 demonstrations with the current one in 2006, and describes some of the leaders of the movement and their politics.
