Abstract

To talk publicly about race remains taboo in France. Since its origins in the late eighteenth century, the French Republic has grounded its political identity on the theoretical equality of all its citizens, regardless of their origins. In practice, this “universalist” ideology tends to deny and neglect blatant racial inequalities among French citizens. Unlike in the United States in recent years, there has been no public discussion about whether France has turned “post-racial” since most white French people consider that their country never entered any sort of “racial era” to begin with. In fact, the French academic world is one of the few arenas in which debates over the issue of race have been accepted and sometimes encouraged.
在田野内外:研究黑人的生命很重要,法国
公开谈论种族问题在法国仍然是禁忌。自18世纪末成立以来,法兰西共和国的政治身份一直以所有公民的理论平等为基础,无论其出身如何。在实践中,这种“普遍主义”意识形态倾向于否认和忽视法国公民之间公然的种族不平等。与近年来的美国不同,由于大多数法国白人认为他们的国家从一开始就没有进入过任何形式的“种族时代”,因此没有公开讨论法国是否已经变成了“后种族时代”。事实上,法国学术界是少数几个关于种族问题的辩论被接受、有时被鼓励的领域之一。
