The security guard adores babies. Perhaps because babies do not shoplift. Babies adore the security guard. Perhaps because he does not drag babies to the sales. The 1960s - Ferdinand arrives in Paris from Côte d'Ivoire, ready to take on the world and become a big somebody. The 1990s - It is the Golden Age of immigration, and Ossiri and Kassoum navigate a Paris on the brink of momentous change. The 2010s - In a Sephora on the Champs-Ãlysées, the all-seeing eyes of a security guard observes the habits of those who come to worship at this church to consumerism. Amidst the political bickering of the inhabitants of the Residence for Students from Côte d'Ivoire and the ever-changing landscape of French immigration policy, Ferdinand, Ossiri and Kassoum, two generations of Ivoirians, attempt to make their way as undocumented workers, taking shifts as security at a flour mill. Sharply satirical, political and poignant, Standing Heavy is a searingly witty deconstruction of colonial legacies and capitalist consumption, an unprecedented and unforgettable account of everything that passes under a security guard's gaze."--Publisher. 500 $a First published in French as Debout-payeÌ by Le Nouvel Attila, 2014. 546 $a Translated from the French. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Ivoirians $z France $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Black people $x Colonial influence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Illegal immigration $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Noncitizen detention centers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Capitalism $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Noncitizen detention centers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805056 650 7 $a Illegal immigration $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02033296 650 7 $a Capitalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846425 650 7 $a Ivoirians $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01740255 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 651 7 $a France $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a France $z Paris $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205283 655 7 $a Humorous fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726649 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Wynne, Frank, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0122306A6CB311EE935F82A422ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
