As the Parisian granddaughter of Richard Wright who chose exile in Paris, I was very much touched by Myth of a Colorblind France because it brings up an in-depth perspective of why African Americans expatriates of yesterday and today have chosen the city of light . It is a precious archive for our community. It brings up the important question about how african migrants in Paris experience discrimination .
