The story of Nedjib Sidi Moussa could be that of several precarious
graduates ("precarious intellectuals") who, in addition to runningseveral companies in the publishing, information or association sectors,are a cog in the essential gear of education: from primary to highereducation. ---- It must be said that Nedjib Sidi Moussa hasdisadvantages: coming from the immigrant proletariat, not enrolled inthe networks that allowed him to convert his doctorate in politicalscience, he has struggled for ten years between vacations and occasionaljobs without obtaining a position like a (MCF) Lecturer, that is,professor-researcher. Worse still, the reception within his "socialfield" of his first work, The Muslim Factory, released by Libertalia in2017, earned him, as he claims, "the pillory."In November 2017, ten years after earning his doctorate, he finallyobtained a favorable ruling to teach at a secondary school in a suburbanrectorate, but it was not until January 2021 that Nedjib Sidi Moussafound himself, as he said, "parachuted into a southern suburb.colleague." Once again the disappointment is there: in view of hercareer and his experience, she had asked and hoped to be able to teachin high school, but it will be in high school.A year later, Nedjib Sidi Moussa began keeping a diary, as "opentestimony" of this complex reality that he perfectly situates. If thegaze is tender but intransigent on these young people who are so similarin their social origin, the immigrant proletariat, but whose differencein terms of their origin is abysmal, the observation that Nedjib SidiMoussa raises about our educational system and, more In general, Oursociety is fierce. our society.But this "precarious Sorbonnard", who is more easily taken for a"professor of technology" than for a professor of history, arrives inthis crisis to rejoice in the small victories, which may certainly seemlaughable, when a student comes to see him at end of a year, of course,to express the pleasure he had learning in his company.David (UCL Savoy)Nedjib Sidi Moussa, The Substitute.
