Título: | The “Indigènes de la République” and political mobilization strategies in postcolonial France | Autor: | Zobel, Clemens | Palavras-chave: | Indigènes de la République; Postcolonialism; Republicanism; Immigration; Political mobilization; Identity | Data: | 2010 | Editora: | Centro de Estudos Sociais | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | e-cadernos CES | Número: | 07 | Local de edição ou do evento: | Coimbra | Resumo: | I discuss the debate on the controversial petition “Nous sommes les Indigènes de la République!” (We are the Indigenous of the Republic) published in 2005 by a group of intellectuals and activists working in the field of immigration issues in France. It critically scrutinizes the idea that the petition could be understood as a new political mobilization strategy emphasizing ethnic, religious or racial differences. While recognizing the salience of this argument, I address its implicit conclusions concerning the supposedly depoliticizing and essentializing consequences of such a move. Placing the petition in its historical context and analysing its content, I contend that, referring to colonial regimes of segregation, the self-identification “indigenes” fundamentally concerns the denial of full citizen’s rights through religious, ethnic or racial categories rather than the entrenching of difference. Drawing parallels with a dominant trend in the appraisal of post-colonial studies in France, I conclude that academic thought on the petition reflects a general tendency of failing to come to terms with difference without falling back on an opposition between political universalism and apolitical communitarianism. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/36166 | ISSN: | 1647-0737 | DOI: | 10.4000/eces.390 10.4000/eces.390 |
