Abstract
Si les conversions au Judaïsme sont un phénomène encore méconnu en France, les convertis noirs, originaires d’Afrique ou des Antilles, sont parmi les plus invisibles. Embrassant le Judaïsme dans la diversité de ses courants, leurs histoires de vie reflètent une variété de parcours. Il est question de cerner leurs profils individuels religieux et identitaires, les modalités par lesquelles la conversion lie ces Africains et Antillais au monde juif et les processus de recomposition identitaire à l’œuvre. Quels sont leurs choix et motivations ? Comment s’inscrivent-ils dans le paysage juif de France ?
Translated Abstract
Conversions to Judaism are still under researched in France, but Black converts, hailing from African countries or Caribbean islands, are among the most invisible. They are to be found in all the branches of Judaism and their life stories reflect a variety of experiences. This contribution explores their individual profiles at the intersection of religion
and race, the ways in which their conversions connect them to the French Jewry and prompts them to reconstruct their identities. What are their choices and motivations and how do they carve a place for themselves in the French Jewry ?
