The paper aims to apply the epistemologies of ignorance framework to racial issues outside the Anglo-American world, the region where it is has been developed and which has been its almost exclusive focus. Centering on the French context, which is often considered as a unique or particularly acute example of the tension between a republican intellectual tradition of colorblindness, and a lived reality of racial discrimination, the paper identifies two renewed and opposed anti-racist positions in France: a publicly dominant, republican colorblind race-eliminativist position on the one hand, and a critical approach on the other hand. The latter puts the emphasis on the significance of racial concepts as decisive epistemic tools, used to identify specific racial inequalities that tend to remain invisible, even taboo, in the dominant French public discourse. This paper analyzes French republican colorblind race-eliminativism as a distinctive form of epistemology of ignorance that enacts epistemic injustice, and argues that critical anti-racism is a form of epistemology of resistance, aiming at epistemically empowering racialized agents.

种族主义和无知的认识论：法国案例的框架

该论文旨在将无知框架的认识论应用于英美世界之外的种族问题，该地区是英美世界的发展地区，并且几乎是其唯一关注的焦点。以法国的背景为中心，该背景通常被认为是共和色盲的知识传统与种族歧视的现实之间紧张关系的独特或特别尖锐的例子，该论文确定了法国两个新的和对立的反种族主义立场：一方面是公开占主导地位的共和党色盲种族消除主义立场，另一方面是批评方法。后者强调种族概念作为决定性认知工具的重要性，用于识别往往仍然不可见，甚至是禁忌的特定种族不平等，在占主导地位的法国公共话语中。本文将法国共和党的色盲种族消除主义分析为一种独特的无知认识论形式，它导致认识上的不公正，并认为批判性反种族主义是一种抵抗认识论的形式，旨在在认识上赋予种族化的代理人权力。
