Nicolas Sarkozy brought back at the center of the political actuality the question of « National Identity » popularized in 1980 by Jean-Marie Le Pen. Since he became President, Sarkozy has set up a « Ministry of Immigration and National Identity ». Carefully scrutating the uses of this phrase, Gérard Noiriel provides some keys to understand the new strategies at work on the political stage today.
