Series: Sociology of Diversity

This book offers a unique perspective on contemporary France by focusing on racial diversity, race and racism as central features of French society and identity.

The author critically reviews the contentious public policies and significant issues, including the 2005 French riots and the policies regarding the Islamic veil, revealing how color-blind racism plays a role in the persistence of racial inequality for French racial minorities.

Drawing from American sociological frameworks, this outstanding study presents a new way of thinking in the study of racial identity politics in today's France.

Reviews for Racial Diversity in Contemporary France: The Case of Colorblindness

""Léonard delivers a refreshing sociological analysis that both rejects colorblindness as a French national policy and demonstrates that racism is alive and well in society and politics."" Casey M. Maugh Funderburk, University of Southern Mississippi
