Abstract
This article explores some key aspects of the actions and discourses of the Arab Workers Movement (le Mouvement des Travailleurs Arabes, MTA), a revolutionary political organization established by North African immigrants in 1970s France. The paper looks at some of the ways in which the MTA's discourses on the workplace, in the foyers and on illegal immigrants' rights were constructed. Second, it examines the cross-ethnic links of solidarity that this movement established with other immigrants' groups and organizations in France. Finally, the paper looks at the often antagonistic, but sometimes close relationship between the movement and the French trade unions.
