First page of my chapter entitled: Culture as a Political Tool for Migrant Activists Facing Repression in France ‘The history of immigration in France was characterised in the 1970s by the boom of the cultural phenomenon within immigrant struggles.’ With this sentence, activist Manual Vaz, summarised 1970s migrant activism in his 1985 book on a key event of the previous decade: the 1975 ‘Festival of Popular Theatre of Immigrant Workers.’ At the festival in the Parisian suburb of Suresnes, several ‘immigrant worker’ theatre groups staged plays about their daily life in France and the problems they encountered, such as racist violence, and miserable working, and living conditions. The groups aimed to articulate migrant perspectives in a rising debate about migration in France. The performers, some of which I will discuss later in more detail such as the theatre group El Assifa, were successful in this regard. In the following years, the festival attracted more and more visitors. A second edition was held in 1976 in all of France over two weeks. In 1978, a third edition welcomed around 30,000 visitors in thirty cities. Since 1975, articles in mainstream media reported on the performances at the festival and its political background. Despite the success, material constraints weighed on the organisers, actors, and directors. The festival relied heavily on activists’ support. The 1978 edition was only possible with the help of 33 support committees all over France. Articles mentioned the precarious conditions in which organisers and performers developed these cultural activities...
Fresh out of my mailbox. To this global history of the 1970s migration turn, I contributed a chapter about culture as a tool of migrant activists amid repression in France. Check it out if you are interested in migration history, theater, or the interplay between activism and state repression.

Screenshot of "The Politics of Culture". Quote: 2.4 Missing the Turn to Electoral Politics? GRECE’s Climax Around 1979 In October 1978, writer Louis Pauwels founded Figaro Magazine in cooperation with Le Figaro, one of the two major French dailies. Pauwels had been close to Alain de Benoist and GRECE throughout the 1970s, published regularly for GRECE publications and attended their conferences. He invited GRECE leaders to contribute articles and shape the editorial line. In the following months, GRECE established a strong influence on one of France’s leading weekly magazines. The epi
Screenshot from the The Politics of Culture, p. 90, Quote: In the “hot summer”293 of 1979, several French newspapers then started problematizing GRECE’s influence on the weekly. The debates led to the isolation of GRECE and the rupture between GRECE and Figaro Magazine. The events around the hot summer reveal the reason for both the success and the subsequent crisis of GRECE’s metapolitical strategy: the fixation on an approach aiming for cultural power. The allegedly apolitical vagueness of culture allowed the group to spread ideas into the political mainstream. GRECE was able to reach decision-makers because it did not need to spell out what their theories would mean in political practice. The key to success already laid the basis for a subsequent crisis. As soon as the wider public reacted to GRECE’s concepts, thinking about the political implications and its links to historical far-right politics, the group could not maintain the claim to be only metapolitical. GRECE’s decision to remain loyal to its metapolitical strategy led to the end of its wider influence. Furthermore, in the early 1980s, the success of the FN as a powerful electoral far-right force further questioned the purely metapolitical approach.
Commentators often pointed at the links between GRECE's ideas and interwar Fascism. This public debate was actually one of the main causes of the group's crisis in the 1980s. If you would like to know more about this, there is a chapter about this episode in my book:
This episode demonstrates the significant role that the media has played in far-right politics for decades. At the same time, it also suggests possible strategies for resistance. In 1980, GRECE authors lost their influence on the magazine following an intense public debate about their ideas.
Today is probably a good day to remind us that Figaro Magazine was founded by Louis Pauwels in 1978 in close collaboration with the far-right networks around GRECE. Until 1980, GRECE activists wrote texts in every single issue and spread their racist vision of a society based on racist segregation.
