Racial Diversity in Contemporary France: The Case of Colorblindness

By Marie Neiges L�onard and Marie Des Neiges Leonard

This book offers a unique perspective on contemporary France by focusing on racial diversity, race, and racism as central features of French society and identity.

Marie des Neiges L onard critically reviews contentious public policies and significant issues, including reactions to the terrorist attack against satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and policies regarding the Islamic veil, revealing how color-blind racism plays a role in the persistence of racial inequality for French racial minorities.

Drawing from American sociological frameworks, this outstanding study presents a new way of thinking in the study of racial identity politics in today's France.
