Global Citizens
The world’s migrants at the turn of the millennium sought safety, education, or jobs in the West’s manufacturing and service occupations. Like these young immigrants from Senegal who are sharing a meal at a café in Paris, they also appreciated Western amenities. Children of immigrants were sometimes disillusioned, however, not wanting the life of extreme sacrifice that their parents had lived. Their frustrations at not being accepted as full citizens occasionally erupted into protest and even violence. (© Directphoto.org / Alamy.)
