From acceptance of diversity to debating multiculturalism: France facing affirmations of identity in the late-twentieth century
Author(s): Cohen, Martine

Abstract: Addressing a new religious pluralism since the 1980s, France opposes its “French model of laicity” to a multiculturalist Anglo-Saxon model viewed as a hazardous way towards social fragmentation. The debates involve questions about its colonial history, with regards to Jewish and Muslim populations in Algeria, as well as more recent issues about renascent anti-Semitism or the social integration of Muslim migrants and their descendants. After comparing the legal and political treatment of these populations in past Algeria and in contemporary France, we analyze their interrelations today, ranging from cultural affinities to resentment and a ‘competition of victims’. Regulation of the new pluralism thus questions the supposed neutrality of the modern state and its potential evolution towards recognition of the many components of French identity.

Topics: Jewish Identity, Main Topic: Identity and Community, Integration
Abstract: Les débats actuels sur le franco-judaïsme indiquent-ils la fin d’un « âge d’or » entre les Juifs et la France ? En fait, le franco-judaïsme n’est pas resté identique depuis son élaboration au xixe siècle (l’« israélitisme ») mais a connu diverses formes. Aujourd’hui on peut soutenir la thèse d’une fin du franco-judaïsme, tout en pouvant opposer, pourtant, des arguments démontrant sa recomposition dans certains milieux du judaïsme français. Quelle sera la résultante de ces dynamiques contradictoires ?
