Résumé anglais By « naturalizing» a foreigner and denying him his natural identity, if racism is contemporaneous, it is as for nations : the only mark of an historic continuity is thus erased. The three attempts to explain racism starting from the very point of origin : that of colonial racism by slavery, that of industrial capitalism by exploitation, that of western racism by biological scientism are abusive. Under different modalities, in each case the process of national identification by and within the dominant society : American independences, antisemitism of the colonial society in Algeria, apartheid in South African nationalism, etc. Antisemitism itself only becomes racism when it is instrumentalised by nationalism.
