Creole in Paris
Antillean Creole is the language spoken in the French Caribbean Islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. To most French people, those are resort destinations. But that changed earlier this year after a series of protests on the island. About a half million people from Guadeloupe and Martinique live in Paris. They are French citizens but they don’t always feel like it. This year, for the first time, two public high schools are offering Antillean Creole language classes. Jacob Fenston reports from Paris.
