Politics of Alterity - France and Her Others

Drawing on an ethnographic survey conducted in antidiscrimination and naturalisation offices in the Paris region, this book shows how immigration, nation, and racialisation are articulated in the social space and questions the processes of inclusion and exclusion within the national group itself and between the national and the foreigner.

Summary

The book shows how racialization operates in the French colorblind context by highlighting the resistance to officially acknowledge the existence of racial discriminations and the ongoing effectiveness of racialising categories in the definition of what is to be French.
