Beschreibung

Sexagon examines how Muslim immigrants from North Africa-as well as their French descendants-have had their level of assimilation to French Culture evaluated according to their attitudes about gender and sexuality. Mack contends that French Arab and Muslim minorities have had their French-ness rejected not because of any linguistic or civic barrier, but rather due to their perceived inadequacy at the level of sexual liberation.
