Immigration, racisme et politique - Paris : IIAP, juil./sept. 1988
France has been importing manpower continualy for over a century. Increasing intolerance seems more related to ethnic visibility rather than actual numbers and many difficulties in fact attest that integration is underway. Racism on biologic lines has shifted into the background: debate is now in terms of ethnic hierarchies and compatibility. Permament settlements of foreign communties coincides with a crisis of national self-confidence, and of moral values, thereby weakening accommodation potential. Violent racism has yielded to the almost apathetic armchair racism of disaggregated society. National policy is urgently needed to accelerate immigrant intergation through schools, to reconstruct national identity and to recompose a system of moral values
