The 2005 debate around the French colonial past can be turned into an object of sociological enquiry, provided one is keeping at bay the hypothesis of the "pied-noir conspiracy" to focus on the daily workings of parliamentarian politics. Taking the November 2005 debates as a documentary starting point, one can analyse the way in which the "colonial debate" became entangled with the larger ideological battle around the issue of the "republican integration" of the "immigration youths," under the influence of some new militant groups like Les Indigenes de la Republique.
