Abstract

This chapter presents the current landscape of the French far right through an ethnographic study of two significant protagonists, the Front National and the network of activists fighting the phenomenon they call ‘Islamisation’. The chapter is principally devoted to the Front National, which has been overwhelming in the lead on the radical right since its first success in 1982–1983. The Front National is described in terms of its ideological production and evolution, its conception of the ‘others’ and its links with other organisations or institutions whose intellectual work can build political and ideological cleavages. We also describe organisations that are fighting hate speeches and discrimination, providing examples of recent cases involving far-right organisations and leaders.
