“…Colonial legacies traverse French society to date (Blanchard et al 2013) and this hierarchization is fundamental to all migration and asylum policies. This might be seen as particularly significant in a country where even within academic research on asylum and refugees the racial and colonial foundations of the current system are rarely mentioned (Cosquer et al 2022), and where the principle of Republican universalism has been consistently used to both hide and justify racialised and gendered forms of inequality and discrimination (Cohen and Mazouz 2021). In the current contribution we wish to explore the ways in which the coloniality of the French asylum system works to deny exiled women access to welfare and social services, creating systems of racialised and gendered violence against them.…”

The recent arrival of refugees from Ukraine has thrown into sharp focus the racialised colonial underpinnings of the French asylum and refugee system, as the open-door welcome afforded to Ukrainians, supposedly “closer” to the French population, highlights the rejection and marginalisation of “others” who seek refuge in the country. The current situation lays bare not only the “double standards” applied to refugees depending on their country of origin and race, but also the colonial foundations of the French asylum system as a whole. This might be seen as particularly significant in a country where even within academic research on asylum and refugees the racial and colonial foundations of the current system are rarely mentioned, and where the principle of Republican universalism has been consistently used to both hide and justify racialised and gendered forms of inequality and discrimination. In this contribution we wish to explore the ways in which the coloniality of the French asylum system works to deny exiled women access to welfare and social services, creating systems of racialised and gendered violence against them. We highlight the ways in which the State not only neglects these women, but actively contributes to violence through its racialised neo-liberal policies. The withdrawal of access to welfare and social services, including housing, welfare payments or health services, all form a part of this system of structural violence which leads to increasing levels of harm. Based on ethnographic research carried out in the Paris region, our article aims to emphasise that the structural production of gendered violence, particularly sexual violence against racialised exiled women, illustrates the coloniality of the asylum system and more broadly of the migration regime, which manifests itself in policies of exclusion, neglect and endangerment—including death.

De la race en sciences sociales (France, XXI e siècle) : éléments pour une synthèse comparative

Le rejet répandu, persistant et multidéterminé du terme « race » dans l’espace public n’a pas empêché la publication de nombreux travaux sur la question raciale en France depuis une trentaine d’années. Certains visent à définir et/ou à historiciser le phénomène racial. D’autres portent plus spécifiquement sur la racialisation de l’action publique ou sur les modalités d’articulation entre la race et d’autres axes de subordination. Quels sont les résultats de ces travaux ? Le corpus en question présente-t-il des traits distinctifs que l’on pourrait rapporter à la configuration nationale dans laquelle il s’inscrit ? La synthèse sur les usages ou non-usages français du concept de race en sciences sociales ici proposée entend répondre à ces deux questions. Elle entend aussi identifier certaines limites et autres « points aveugles » de ces travaux afin de contribuer à orienter les recherches futures.

L’ambivalence des migrations étudiantes groenlandaises au Danemark : une réaffirmation de l’ordre du genre et de la race

Cet article interroge la formation des positions sociales dominantes des femmes ayant connu une migration étudiante entre le Danemark et le Groenland, son ancienne colonie. L’inscription dans l’enseignement supérieur au Danemark et la mise en couple avec un partenaire danois permet aux étudiantes groenlandaises d’acquérir des ressources socialement valorisées (titres scolaires, façons d’être ou de parler) qui recomposent leur position sociale. En étudiant les modes de socialisation qui se jouent à l’échelle domestique et en situation de mixité conjugale, l’article tend à démontrer que l’écriture de sociodicées ascendantes, dans ce cas particulier de migration, s’articule avec une réaffirmation de l’ordre du genre et de la position raciale par rapport à la norme de la blanchité.
