Abstract EN:
Ethnicity and politics in france during the 1900's. Study of the political elite descended from north african migrations. In march 1989, approximately one hundred second generation north african candidates were elected onto town councils in france. This electoral event represents a significant evolution in the working of the french political system, where ethnicity, a taboo, becomes henceforth, a great concern. From a sociological study which looks at the 76 second generation north african elected people, the author questions the socio-political future of the ethnic elitism in france. Should we consider the presence of second generation north african in the french political institutions as the achievement of a logical assimilation or as a symptom of the ethnicism of political representation
Abstract FR:
En mars 1989, une centaine de candidats d'origine maghrebine ont ete elus dans les conseils municipaux de france. Cet evenement electoral constitue une evolution considerable dans le fonctionnement du systeme politique francais, ou l'ethnicite, notion tabou, devient desormais un enjeu majeur. A partir d'une etude sociologique portant sur 76 elus d'origine amghrebine, l'auteur s'interroge sur le devenir socio-politique de l'elitisme ethnique en france. Doit-on considerer cette presence de "maghrebins" dans les institutions politiques francaises comme l'aboutissement d'une logique d'assimilation ou comme symptome d'ethnicisation de la representation politique ?
