Summary
Mehmet- Ali Akinci begins by reminding us how schools in France at the beginning of the 20th century punished students caught speaking a dialect by forcing them to clean the toilets because they “had shit in their mouths!” Coming from a family of traditional immigrants from Turkey, he shows how “immigrant origin” often appears in the common imagination as a factor explaining their failure at school. His psycholinguistic background is marked by his fight against discrimination and glottophobia at school.
