☆ Cheers, Fears and ‘Le Wokisme’: How the World Sees U.S. Campus Protests
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-03 | by ( Catherine Porter | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

The world is watching what is happening on American campuses with shock, pride, relish and alarm. Scenes from the protests — and of the arrests of protesters — have been top news around the world from Bogotá to Berlin, Tehran to Paris. In some countries, including France, students have staged protests of their own, though not with the scale and intensity of those in the United States. Others, particularly in countries ruled by authoritarian regimes, view the crackdowns as proof of America’s hypocrisy on human rights and freedom of speech. In some ways, the protests and the response to them are a Rorschach test for the world — the analysis often offering more insight into local politics than into America.

A terrorist attack of 2015 that left her city angry and heartbroken persuaded Paris’s mayor, Anne Hidalgo, to campaign for the Olympic Games. “Something that is very powerful, very peaceful and allows us to move forward. So, I threw myself into it.”Nine years later, the Summer Olympics are set to open in Paris in July with France at its highest level of terrorism alert, after the attack on the Moscow concert hall last month. Yet for the first time, the opening ceremony will not be held inside the barricaded confines of a stadium. Instead, athletes will float in boats down the Seine River through the heart of the dense, ancient city before half a million spectators packed into stands and leaning out of windows.
