  abstract = {{T}his article explores the gap between the principled notion of a {F}rench republican model and actual discriminations against minority group members in {F}rench society. {I}t suggests that anti-discrimination policies implemented to overcome this contradiction have produced what could be characterized, following {M}yrdal, as a '{F}rench dilemma'. {A}nti-discrimination as a new public agenda has paralleled a process of ethnicization, giving rise to virulent public controversy, with a particular focus on the issue of ethnic statistics. {T}his has also fostered a range of identity claims by ethnic minority organizations. {I}n particular, this article examines identity claims by two ethnic minority organizations (the {F}rench {R}epresentative {C}ouncil of {B}lack {A}ssociations or {CRAN}, and the {N}atives of the {R}epublic {M}ovement or {MIR}), through a {B}arthian '{U}s' and '{T}hem' dichotomy. {I}t shows how the {CRAN} and the {MIR} tend to reproduce and make publicly visible the division between two types of minorities ({B}lacks and {M}uslims) with which {F}rench society has not established the same boundaries. {C}omparative {E}uropean {P}olities (2012) 10, 283-300. doi:10.1057/cep.2012.14},
