Based on an ethnographic study of mobilisations of the Comorian
diaspora in Marseille during political and cultural events, the
book examines communitarisation in relation to three thematic
areas, namely spaces, cultural markets and local politics. Drawing
on Foucault's concept of the dispositif, the author analyses
mobilisations of postcolonial diaspora as part of a dispositif of
communitarisation, that is, a set of discourses, practices,
institutions and subjectivations of diasporic community. She argues
that constructions of 'community' are both shaped by and shape
ethnicised biopolitics, expressed by modes of governing diasporic
groups along ethnicised divisions and a marking of ethnicised
communities as the Other of the French Republic. The performativity
of a Comorian community brought into being through political,
cultural, economic and customary practices also shows how Comorian
communities govern themselves along ethnicised categories, at the
intersection with generation, gender, age classes, locality and
class. Communitarisation processes as part of ethnicised
(self-)governing reveal postcolonial power relations in France as
well as practices of negotiation and contestation on the part of
Comorian communities. This book will be of interest to scholars in
the fields of critical diaspora studies, critical ethnography,
discourse and dispositif analysis, postcolonial politics, and the
African diaspora.
