In "Black France / France Noire," scholars, activists, and
novelists from France and the United States address the untenable
paradox at the heart of French society. France's constitutional and
legal discourses do not recognize race as a meaningful category.
Yet the lived realities of race and racism are ever-present in the
nation's supposedly race-blind society. The vaunted universalist
principles of the French Republic are far from realized. Any claim
of color-blindness is belied by experiences of anti-black racism,
which render blackness a real and consequential historical, social,
and political formation. Contributors to this collection of essays
demonstrate that blackness in France is less an identity than a
response to and rejection of anti-black racism. "Black France /
France Noire "is a distinctive and important contribution to the
increasingly public debates on diversity, race, racialization, and
multicultural intolerance in French society and beyond.
