“…contend that a comprehensive understanding of antiracism in the French context requires examining the range of antiracist devices used among different ethnoracial groups-amongst activist and ordinary people alike. Several important studies on the participation of Black youth and activists in antiracist efforts through both organized social movements~Fall 2005; Gueye 2006! andostentatious resistance~Durpaire 2006;Fassin and Fassin, 2006!…”

This exploratory study makes a contribution to the literature on antiracism by analyzing how first-generation French Blacks of sub-Saharan African descent practice everyday antiracism. In doing so, it expands the demographic terrain of this research to highlight some particularities in the experience of everyday racism and antiracism for ethnoracial minorities of immigrant origins. In addition to experiencing forms of racism encountered by both immigrants and other native ethnoracial minorities, first-generation French Blacks (like other non-White first-generation Europeans), face symbolic exclusion from the national community and delegitimization of their claims to Europeanness. Examining their experiences sheds light on how race, immigration, and national identity intersect to generate unique experiences of racism and antiracism. This paper also contributes to our understanding of how social context shapes the range of everyday antiracist strategies at a person's disposal. Specifically, integrating Kasinitz et al.'s (2008) framework for categorizing incidents of racial discrimination and prejudice with Fleming et al.'s (2010) categorization of responses to stigmatization, I present an analysis of antiracist responses that takes into account both the nature of the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator of racism (i.e., impersonal vs. personal) and the social context in which the encounter occurs (e.g., school, work, public space, etc). In doing so, I highlight how the conditions of a given incident of racism or discrimination set constraints on the range of antiracist responses an individual can practically (or feasibly) employ.

“…Si le retournement politique du stigmate noir par les élites intellectuelles est une logique avérée en de nombreux contextes de domination sociale, économique et raciale (ibid. ;Cunin, 2006 ;Gueye, 2006), il ne correspond pas toujours aux représentations identitaires forgées dans des classes sociales modestes, qui souhaitent par exemple éviter le renforcement de leur racialisation, car il les rendrait, à leurs yeux, perdants dans l'acquisition de ressources (Timera, 2006). L'article de M. Silva da Costa le montre très bien à partir des enjeux des politiques multiculturelles dans l'Amazonie brésilienne, et à travers les assignations ethnoraciales hésitantes qui lui sont adressées et qui la confondent parfois avec une militante du Mouvement noir.…”

“…It creates a mutual recognition but not yet a sense of belonging to the same entity. It is an initial incentive for social mobilization (see Gueye 2006), but it has not yet become the main determinant for a black French self-ascription.…”
