Presentation

The Revue Européenne des Migrations Internationales (REMI) was launched in 1985 by Gildas Simon. It publishes both empirical and theoretical research works related to international migrations and interethnic relations. While Europe remains the spatial framework of reference, the journal is also open to other areas and migratory systems throughout the world.

Developed since the 1990s, experiential approaches to racism extend the analysis of its structural and systemic dynamics to encompass implicit and everyday forms. At the crossroads of two theoretical traditions—the critical sociology of racism associated with Guillaumin (1972), on the one hand, and critical phenomenology, on the other—this topical collection seeks to revisit these questions in light of developing scholarship in the field, as evidenced by the recent French translation of Essed’s landmark Understanding Everyday Racism (2024). Rather than a comprehensive overview, the topical collection focuses on salient questions, including the notion of “false negative”, or the failure to perceive actual discrimination, which draws attention to the importance of frame analysis and the social and political work required to articulate the lived experience of racism. The articles also explore its composite nature, shaped by structural processes as well as everyday embodied behaviours; by diffuse, intimate and unspectacular forms of racist violence as well as by open manifestations of hostility that reproduce logics of inferiorization at times in very explicit ways.
