Abstract

The National Front has risen to prominence because it has succeeded in giving concrete political expression to a latent xenophobia, reinforced by the problem of immigration, and has succeeded in placing this latent xenophobia in the context of a general ideology of the extreme right, based on a rejection of established political parties and distrust of democracy. The article brings together the evidence associated with the rise of the National Front in France, drawing on public opinion on significant political issues, aggregate data, and information on its regional growth, supplemented by an analysis of the controversy over the wearing of the Islamic headscarf in public schools and a detailed case study of the constituency of Dreux, where the National Front has achieved spectacular electoral success in a relatively short time.
