Latifa, Micheline and Nacera
to reflect the theme of the Real in 2009 we asked for cameras of the center "The Ivy" to 21 loop Milliaire in Thionville in the premises of Jacques Prevert. We are republishing this article to accompany the release of a film about the neighborhoods of Milliaire StPierre and Bauregard.
Latifa Chaabt Micheline Salvatore and Nacera Kelsen-stein talk among themselves of the notion of border. Latifa begins.
There are visible boundaries and borders is not seen but it feels like, you stop being asked permission to enter. Either you have the visa and enter or you did not and we go back. 
That's the invisible boundary: there is this respect for the person and wait. Am I allowed to enter his world? Each needs its small borders, if the person does not keep his secret, is a gene.
Nacera can not express what the border because the border is everywhere: in culture, in religion, in work, in the person itself, for example , religion is one: it says what should a woman.
Micheline remembers the first time she had to eat separately from their male friends in Tunisia. It is used to share with friends and this separation was shocked. That day she had almost left: she did not dare ask. Micheline think the Tunisians are shy and withdrawn and that we should not ask about what happens at home.
He was said later that it was the custom, but no one has ever been the ui explain why .
Nacera sees nothing shocking here as it is today, the boys go with their father, girls with their mother. It explains the separation shyness: women can not laugh at a foreigner. "Our mothers are like that, it was high like that. It is not now. "
When she was a child, Latifa fairly well supported brands of differences in school," you have not the same color, you look like chocolate ": it sought to integrate, he had to live. When she had children, it became less obvious to bear. She wanted things to change, she did not want his children to suffer the same thing she did.
Nacera she has integrated easily and directly to the French company and she speaks with her children: they were born here, they are French. But she fears possible rejection because of their French family name. It prepares her children because she would not want them to suffer growing up, being rejected by the Arab community.
Latifa noted that when she goes over there in Morocco, it is not considered as the locals and when she's here, she is still forced to fight to legitimize its belonging to his country, France. Every time it feels a bit lost and she needs to take stock. She has two countries. France is a big part of herself, Morocco's origins.
Micheline knows the language kills and we must think before you speak because words remain: once the offended person can not change anything about it.
What did suffer most in the past, is the gaze of others on its small size, these people who turned around and stared at four, five times in its path. She laughs itself of its small size if not she would still be the past. Even, she goes over today.
Nacera says do not listen people, that when one wants to hurt, found. Latifa says that we are human beings with their faults and qualities. It is manufactured homes, gardens and small plots, it defines, we're happy ... Then we destroyed, we are happy ...
Fortunately racism physical declines. one era to another, there is progress. What is nice is that today's children are awake. The modern world has an impact on them and strangely, she did not fear for them. Rather than shoot the cover of one side or the other, must try to stabilize in a healthy atmosphere for everyone. And find a balance between East and West. Perfection is neither East nor West, but both. It is the strength of Latifa, she is proud and she made sure her children communicate it to their classmates that they would exchange wealth.
