This talk is held jointly between 新香港六合彩开奖结果European Institute and the Centre for French and Francophone Research.

Race and racism do not exist in contemporary France where they supposedly lie lifeless, slain by the Republican sword that felled them in 1789. This talk will analyze France's refusal to consider race as a valid category of analysis, when it functions precisely as an instantaneous element of natural belonging to the national group for whites (irrespective of their citizenship status), and an indelible mark of foreignness, probationary acceptance, or impossible inclusion in the case of non-whites.

More specifically, this talk weights on what the refusal to 鈥渟ee鈥� race has meant for France鈥檚 engagement with African countries and African citizens. Ultimately, by confronting the silences around race, racism and colonial memory, this lecture will propose keys to mend the Republic's broken promise of聽Libert茅, 脡galit茅, Fraternit茅.
