In France, discourse on communitarianism produces historical, cultural and political codes that influence how political actors behave. As such, it plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of the political activism of ‘visible minorities’. This article will explore the process by which communitarianism is deployed to re-present the demands for equality of ‘visible minorities’ as expression of disaffection, while simultaneously validating the democratic neutrality of French institutions. Thus, communitarianism has become an effective discourse to delegitimise discussion about race-based institutional inequality and minimise minority political agency.
