ABSTRACT
What
has really happened in Europe since 2014? Why in 2018 are so many migrants
still making their way towards Europe? For the first time since the Second
World War, an important number of individuals have entered into European soil. The
idea for this article goes back to October 2015 when the prefet from the town
where I live went in search of asylum seekers. This is what sparked off my
inquiry amongst about 50 exiles housed in the annex of the Montmorency (95)
hospital in July 2015. But against popular belief, migrants are not accepted
fairly into countries, and the geographical distribution of Syrians in Turkey,
Lebanon, Jordan, and Europe is contrary to what Kant had defended as a “right
to visit”. Although the majority of
researchers suggest welcoming migrants, it is necessary to reconsider some
methodological and epistemological aspects and get away from some wrongly
perceived concepts which dated prior to the year 2000. Yet, the Arab Spring has showed that we are dealing
with unfinished post-colonialism, something that we will
soon come back to in another article where we will propose another solution.
