Abstract: This article examines the colonial genealogies of anti-immigrant discourse in France through the case of Éric Zemmour, one of France’s most influential nativist politicians. It tracks the permutations of nativist discourse in Zemmour’s writings, from his little-known 2008 novel Petit frère (Little Brother) to his best-selling essay La France n’a pas dit son dernier mot (France Has Not Had Its Last Word), which propelled his 2022 presidential run. What emerges from this case study is a fascinating glimpse into the colonial production of French nativism, from colonial Algeria to postcolonial France. In conclusion, the article turns to a controversial text that argues for a common recognition of the bifurcated indigeneity of Muslims and Jews of the Maghreb as a first step in claiming political belonging in postcolonial France, against French nativism: Houria Bouteldja’s Whites, Jews, and Us (2016).
