CE Jour La J AI Commence a Detester Terrorist (Paperback or Softback)

THAT WAS THE DAY I STARTED HATING TERRORISTS

"This book features the words of school students following the terror attacks at Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Cacher; it explores their reactions and tries to understand who this young generation are.

The week of the 26^th January I asked my classes of 12- to 14-year-olds to re-examine in writing the events of the 7^th, 8^th and 9^th of January. I handed out blank sheets of paper, saying they needn't put their names on them so they felt free to write. My aim: to glean spontaneous opinions and thoughts that weren't channelled, encouraged or influenced by an adult's. I felt that immediately after the event, I'd get a real cross-section, disparities in their reactions. Involvement versus nonchalance. Collective conscience versus individualism."
