English summary: The concept of race has historically been employed to justify multiple forms of injustice: exploitation, oppression, even annihilation of entire human populations. In order to fight racism, it may seem logical to want to permanently eliminate the concept that forms its basis. This volume, however, argues against elimination and instead aims to reduce racial inequality by requiring an analytical and critical use of the concept of race. Socially constructed racial categories today are hidden in many legal and administrative policies. To not name them would be to not reveal their discriminatory effects. French text. French description: Le concept de race–et ses declinaisons categorielles–a ete historiquement enrole pour justifier de multiples formes d’injustice : discrimination, exploitation, oppression, voire annihilation de groupes entiers de l’humanite. Pour lutter contre le racisme, il a donc pu sembler coherent de vouloir definitivement disqualifier le concept qui en constituerait le fondement. Ce livre defend pourtant la these adverse : entreprendre de reduire les inegalites raciales exige un usage analytique et critique du concept de race. Socialement construites, les categories raciales sont aujourd’hui a l’oeuvre, de maniere plus ou moins masquee, dans de nombreuses pratiques administratives, juridiques et politiques. Ne pas les nommer, c’est s’interdire d’en debusquer les effets discriminatoires. Une philosophie politique soucieuse de penser l’injustice sociale sous toutes ses formes, mettant sa competence propre de clarification conceptuelle au service d’un engagement politique, se doit d’affonter la question raciale.
