Abstract
Since its origins, the doctrines and practices of worker internationalism have been constantly affected by specifically national considerations. By studying the archives of the CFDT and the CGT, one may assess the manner in which French and African labor unions addressed the theme of immigration. In particular, this allows one to examine the considerations that led African labor unions to attempt to exercise control over the demands of Sub-Saharan workers residing in France and the subsequent marginalization of the latter at the hands of French labor unions. More generally, the study underscores the bureaucratization of the French labor movement, which disconnected itself from the social struggles of immigration and thereby contributed to the crisis of labor union representation in France. ■
