Abdellali Hajjat, sociologist: "The media have a heavy responsibility in the production of a racial truth regime"

Abdellali Hajjat's book analyzes the genealogy of racist anathemas, linking historical and contemporary racism in France. He highlights a recent racially motivated terrorist attack in Trappes, emphasizing the recurring nature of such violence and critiquing political narratives that overlook historical context. Hajjat argues that the attack reflects a distorted racialization of dissent, where the perpetrator sought to punish marginalized communities for their grievances against power.
