Eurocentrism, racism and knowledge: Debates on history and power in Europe and the Americas
The recent student protests at the Universities of Cape Town, Oxford, Harvard and Princeton against the enduring symbols and decorum of slavery, colonization and legal segregation ignited one more
Towards the unmaking of the French mainstream: The empirical turn in immigrant assimilation and the making of Frenchness
In the current debates on assimilation and multiculturalism, France occupies the position of the incontrovertible case in colour-blind civic assimilation. This description of France overlooks the empirical turn in immigrant assimilation France took when the first ever census-based survey conducted on the assimilation of immigrants and their France-born children, known after its French acronym MGIS (Mobilité géographique et insertion sociale), pro…

Définir une population représente un coup de force : n’est-ce pas imposer à un ensemble d’individus une catégorie qui va désormais les cataloguer et les contraindre ? À peine inventée, la population prend son autonomie : elle augmente, diminue, se déplace et enferme les individus dans son piège. Dès lors, ses conventions deviennent ses objets : l’âge, l…
