C is true that I lack time to write articles here. It's true that I must write my memory. It is true that I have things in progress that I take a long time. It is true that I have my personal life that is precious to me too. And yet. I can not do without another book by Cimade who picks us up in our ability to receive the unbearable.
So soon, very soon, here's the book in question. It is called "retention Chronicles 2008-2010 " and addresses the issue of detention in its most inhuman and unworthy. It was written by a group of stakeholders Cimade and describes the lives of people (dis) placed in detention centers. For order, click on the image of the book.
following is a summary that can be found on their website:
A ave you ever had to give up living in your home? You cut your roots, your family, your markers, social codes of your culture, your language, that which comes to you from your mother, your mother's mother and her mother before her? Have you ever taken the risk to leave, to leave everything and come alone to face the unknown? Have you ever been away from everything that you attached to life as to lose the memory of yourself, the taste of others, the measure of what is possible ... and throw you into the sea until perhaps one day, arrive on the other hand, to try. Just try a better life?Do you know the weight of the gaze of the police on you before you handcuff your children, this policeman who pushes you into a van heading for a detention center for you spit like a microbe, away, elsewhere? Away from your family, everything you've built, away from yourself?Do you know the color of the walls inside a center like the Mesnil-Amelot or Vincennes? The daily, judges, smell, the faces of others who are with you: a Cambodian, three Indians, two Afghans, eighteen Malians, seven Tamils, three Sudanese, Algerians fifteen. Around you: the exile of the world conflict. The police beatings from time to time, isolation cells, the imprisonment of innocent brats, French too swarthy complexion, evictions by boat to neutralize any form of resistance and solidarity.Do you only want to know?The list that the police every morning in the grip area chosen: go ahead and run this morning ... maybe your name: Flight AF2184 10:40 Roissy R2C Kinshasa. Yesterday was the turn of Pakistanis qui vous dépannait en cigarettes. Aujourd’hui, c’est le vôtre. Les recours épuisés. Le soutien enrayé. L’insupportable qu’on vous oblige à supporter et l’espoir qui étouffe sous des procédures marécageuses. Il vous reste votre corps et parfois le choix entre l’hôpital si vous avez le courage de vous faire mal, la prison si vous avez l’audace de vous débattre ou l’avion si vous abandonnez.Environ 35 000 étrangers sont enfermés légalement ou illégalement dans les centres et locaux de rétention chaque année.Depuis 25 ans, La Cimade est à leurs côtés à l’intérieur des murs. In 1984, stakeholders were counted on the fingers of one hand. In 2009, we were nearly 70. This mission of defending the rights of aliens and active solidarity is unique in Europe. Far from being a guarantor to the catastrophic reality of detention, the look and strength of the reaction has been questioned by the state at the end of 2008. Without doubt we have defended too. Too much.It's time to testify.Black humor, political analysis, poetry, dialogues, anecdotes clichés unreal, media images or press releases, we, speakers La Cimade, have decided to take the words as we take up arms.
