Under the banner of universalism, France messages a powerful and seductive ideology of blindness to race that disappears blackened people and the antiblackness they experience. As Trica Keaton notes, in everyday life, France is anything but raceblind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this interdisciplinary study, drawn from a range of critical scholarship including that of Philomena Essed and Frantz Fanon, Keaton illuminates how b\/Black (racialized\/politicized) French people distinctly expose and refuse what she calls “raceblind republicanism.” By officially turning a blind eye to the specificity of antiblackness, the French state in fact perpetuates it, she argues, along with structural racism. Through daily life, public policies, visual culture, the private lives of individuals and families shattered by police violence, the French courts where many are fighting back, and her own experiences, Keaton charts the troubling dynamics and continuities of antiblackness in French society.Prologue (ix)\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Setting a Context (1)\u003cbr\u003eThe Choice of Ignorance: Equality in Principle vs. Equal Protection (29)\u003cbr\u003e#YouKnowYoureBlackinFranceWhen...: The Face of Everyday Antiblackness (57)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAu Negre Joyeux \u003c\/i\u003eand Friends: Everyday Antiblackness Posing as Public Art (97)\u003cbr\u003eOn Police Violence (159)\u003cbr\u003eSection I: \"Everyone Hates the Police!\" (\"\u003ci\u003eTout le Monde Deteste la Police!\u003c\/i\u003e\"): The \"Ceremony of Degradation\" and the Logic of Running from Everyday Police Violence (159)\u003cbr\u003eSection II: \"\u003ci\u003eIl Faut Se Battre!\u003c\/i\u003e\" (\"You Have to Fight!\"): Racial Profiling, Strategic Litigation and Accountability (183)\u003cbr\u003eCoda: Universalize to Pantheonize: Scripting Josephine Baker (207)\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments (217)\u003cbr\u003eAppendix (221)\u003cbr\u003eFraming Everyday Antiblackness in a Raceblind France (221)\u003cbr\u003eMethods (233)\u003cbr\u003eNotes (237)\u003cbr\u003eIndex (275)“Once again, Trica Keaton proves that she is one of the most insightful observers of the contradictions that constitute France as a racial state.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Roderick A.
