The book is about this change in identity and the ways in which the politics of migration - a much broader and globally connected process - came to redefine France in the second half of the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Political History of Immigration in France \u003c\/i\u003eis chronologically arranged in order to show the various stages the politics of immigration has been through: from a mere economic issue to a defining feature of contemporary politics. It draws on original research in the archives of the French administration, data on the implementation of public policies since the 2000s and oral interviews about the lived experience of immigrants. In so doing, Escafré-Dublet portrays a variety of historical actors, including politicians, administrative officials, social workers, activists, artists and citizens, who contributed to shaping the understanding of immigration issues today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAngéline Escafré-Dublet \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Lyon, France.
