Intégrisme, guerre incivile examines the intersection of religious extremism and contemporary French politics, focusing on the tensions between Nicolas Sarkozy and Dominique de Villepin during the mid‑2000s. Author Max‑Henri Boulois analyzes how discourses on Islam, immigration, and national identity shaped public debate and policy decisions. The book draws on political speeches, media coverage, and social movements to illustrate how fears of radicalization influenced governmental approaches to security and integration. By situating these developments within broader historical patterns of racism and antisemitism in France, Boulois offers a critical perspective on the challenges of maintaining democratic values amid rising populist sentiment. The work serves as both a scholarly resource and a reflective commentary on the complexities of multicultural societies confronting internal and external pressures.
