RACING THE REPUBLIC:
ETHNICITY AND INEQUALITY IN FRANCE
IN AMERICAN AND WORLD PERSPECTIVE
An international and interdisciplinary conference
at the University of California, Berkeley
September 7th and 8th 2007
Lipman Room, Barrows Hall
Organized by
Loïc Wacquant (Sociology, UC-Berkeley), Tyler Stovall
(History, UC-Berkeley), and
Heddy Riss (Center on Institutions and Governance, Institute
of Governmental Studies, UC-Berkeley)
Questions of ethnoracial division (linked to slavery, colonial
rule, and/or immigration), citizenship, and politics
loom large today not only in the United States but also
in many other advanced nations. None is perhaps more
urgently concerned with these issues today than France.
And none provides a more fruitful comparative case with
the United States, since the two republics share a germane
commitment to the democratic ideal and a common claim
to embody civic universality.
The conference brings together leading and rising scholars
from the gamut of the social sciences and humanities who
are engaged in the resurgent debates on colonialism and
postcolonialism, immigration and racialization, urban issues,
public policy and citizenship in France, to compare and
contrast those with parallel debates in the United States.
