Geography, it also serves to understand politics

This is a test quite stimulating. Good geographer it is, the author attempts to dismantle a number of shots that have been ongoing for some time and who support a political, especially developed by the left. The principal of these pictures lies in a vision of the French society that would summarize, in essence, a break between a minority of poor immigrant and concentrated in several urban neighborhoods, and a majority of French under the " middle classes ", living in suburban and rural areas. See things and tends to move the social question to the fight against ethnic discrimination and promotion of minorities. The result is a design largely favorable to globalization and multiculturalism. The reality, however, is quite different. Even so, for the elites, the "People France, industrial and rural lived" (p. 105), it remains very much alive. Its population increases in suburban areas and rural areas. Far from being confused with the famous "middle classes", rather it combines the unfavorable socioeconomic indicators. Poverty rates are higher in the Cantal (21.6%), Corsica (21.4%), Aude (21.4%), etc., in Seine-Saint-Denis (18% ) - see p. 114. This France hardly houses the beneficiaries of globalization elites. She rather feared and frequently suffers with relocation. This France is waiting for a "national narrative": no wonder she voted overwhelmingly Sarkozy in 2007 ...
The book is statistically knowledgeable and well argued, sometimes pamphleteer, which is not unpleasant.
At tendered beneficial reactions to liberal and globalist one thought ... it is right or left.
