| Summary: | Racism and anti-Semitism are constantly evolving over time, while also demonstrating continuity, and vary from one society to another, which does not preclude a global approach to them. The article begins by examining the question of whether and to what extent these two phenomena should be distinguished. It then goes on to show how contemporary racism and the struggles it provokes are evolving beyond the changes of the 1960s to 1990s, when it was necessary to consider first institutional racism, then the new, differentialist racism. Today, the universalism of anti-racism is questioned, and the article takes the measure of its possible identity-based and relativist drifts towards a “race war”, which should not be exaggerated. While anti-Semitism has been massively attributed by the most right-wing currents on the intellectual and political scene to Muslims of immigrant origin, the article shows that its reality is more complex. |
