Abstract
ABSTRACT Drawing on observation and interviews conducted in community centres in three deprived neighbourhoods in France, this article examines the conditions required for making a commitment to anti-discrimination activism. In theory, the experience of racial discrimination provides reasons for action. However, mobilization against racism is by no means the norm. This qualitative study shows that forms of resistance that value horizontal, inclusive relationships and quiet activism, encourage people to make a commitment despite their reluctance to do so. These collectives are also meeting places that allow people to politicize their personal experiences and raise awareness on racial stigmatization and discrimination.
