Ndiaye

Pap Ndiaye

 

Pap Ndiaye is "maître de conférences d'histoire" at the EHESS. His research was first focused on the history of the business world (Du Nylon et des Bombes, Belin, 2001). His current work focuses on the discourse and practices of racial discrimination in the American Insurance companies in the XX century, and on the issues facing black communities in the USA and in France.

He blows open the myth of France's foundation in the ideals of liberty, fraternity and equality. He argues that this mantra really masquerades as an unabashed tradition of assimilating "the other" into a monolithic French identity. In this English-language interview on France 24, he talks about his latest book: "The Black Condition".
