Research themes
Urban History / History of Immigration / History of Social Conflict and Political History Karim Taharount’s research focuses on mobilizations from immigration, french overseas territories and working-class neighborhoods in metropolitan France since the late 1960s. His research interests include the rapprochement that occurs at the national level between many of these local mobilizations. A rapprochement underpinned by a dynamic movement from socio-cultural work to political work, and from the defense of particular problems to the establishment of a general programmatic. Dynamic which culminate, ultimately, in the project of constitution of a political organization, national and autonomous, which would be able to fight in a perennial way against the inequalities of right and treatment lived by the populations essentially from the immigration, french overseas territories and popular neighborhoods. This work also focuses on the different forms of organizations employed within this associative movement (from the local informal collective to the project of a national political party, through the establishment of autonomous lists during local elections). Equal attention is paid to the diversity of type of action used locally or nationally, to the impact of each method, and to the process of switching from one method to another (from the search for dialogues with municipalities to the organization of riots, for example). In the same way, this research is interested in the relations of this associative movement with the other associative, union and partisan organizations in France. And this, within the framework of the communes where it has developed, in the context of the struggles for the defense of populations from immigration, overseas territories and popular neighborhoods, and within the framework of the dynamic that tends for several decades the structuring of the social movement or the recomposition of the left-wing.} {{Publications}} 2017 : « On est chez nous », Histoire des tentatives d’organisation politique de l’immigration et des quartiers populaires (1981-1988), Solnitsata, 2017, 360 pages.
