Ethnic politics is a paradoxical phenomenon in France. While predominant French ideologies and institutional arrangements reinforce a 'no ethnic politics' model, there have been substantive challenges to this traditional model, including changes in state practices, and the political emergence of Franco-Maghrebis and the immigrant association movement. Using the affaire des foulards [headscarves affair] of 1989 as a case-study, the article seeks to clarify the ethnic politics paradox in France. I argue that the emergence and configuration of ethnic politics in France are being shaped by a series of constraints. These constraints are reflected in the ways in which the headscarves affair was created, defined, and managed. I suggest that the constraints are rooted not only in French ideologies and institutional arrangements, but also in the 'nationalist logic' of contemporary French immigration politics, the integrationist strategies of Franco-Maghrebi groups, and the immigré perspective of the state and political community
