Rezensionsessay zu Félicien Faury, Des électeurs ordinaires. Enquête sur la normalisation de l’extrême droite, Éditions du Seuil: Paris 2024, 238 Seiten

France’s political landscape is characterised by a constant electoral rise of the far right. This shift has often been attributed to increased unemployment. In his much-discussed book “Des électeurs ordinaires”, sociologist Félicien Faury dives into the social representations of right-wing voters and observes that things are much more complicated: race is the modality in which a comprehensive crisis of capitalist society is lived. Hence the importance of antiracism in struggles against the far right, a conclusion that also speaks to the current German situation.
