- The Yellow Vests is an urban protest movement that took off in France in November 2018. It initially contested the increase of petrol tax proposed by Macron’s center-right government. Subsequently however, it developed into a multifaceted anti-austerity movement. Due to the multifaceted nature of the protests, the Yellow Vests’ movement has fueled a series of speculations in the media, reinforced by local expressions of anti-semitic allegations, and isolated sexist and racist acts during demonstrations and protests. In particular, the Yellow Vests have been reduced to being a mouthpiece for populist claims on the part of the ‘left-behinds’ that emerged from the peri-urban areas of the French regional centers. Through the notion of transversal solidarity, this chapter explores possible mediations if not alliances of the heterogeneous ‘white’French precariat in suburban areas.
