Ce livre est une autobiographie professionnelle, une sorte d'hommage rendu aux dignes héritiers des « hussards noirs » de la 3ème République, à tous ceux qui œuvrent au quotidien pour faire vivre le système éducatif français.. Juste avant de partir à la retraite, l'auteur revient sur sa carrière, sur son métier de Conseiller Principal d’Éducation. A travers le prisme de sa profession, qui est une spécificité française, il analyse l'évolution de l 'école en la contextualisant. La diversité des ses affections, au gré de ses mutations à Chartres et sa région mais aussi outre-mer, en Polynésie, à plusieurs reprises, lui permet de confronter ses expériences. Son identité professionnelle s'affirmera au fil des ans, tout comme celles des autres acteurs de l'école, assistants d'éducation, enseignants, chefs d'établissement. Chacun des défis posés à l'école est abordé, la massification, la mixité sociale et l'échec scolaire, la formation et l'insertion professionnelles, la révolution informatique et les enjeux du numérique, les nouvelles parentalités et l'émergence des communautés. Les spécificités du système éducatif en Polynésie sont largement analysées. L'alternance politique en métropole accompagne les réformes du système éducatif, en Polynésie,elle détermine les évolutions du statut d'autonomie interne. Cette anamnèse permet à l'auteur d'évoquer les collègues qu'il a côtoyés, les élèves qu'il a encadrés, et les situations, parfois cocasses qu'il a partagées avec les uns et les autres.

Since the beginning of the 21st century France has seen the return of anti-Semitism with attacks, desecration of cemeteries, insults, and threats. This book is the outcome of a survey carried out by Michel Wieviorka along with a dozen sociologists. He examines different tracks: the possible links between anti-Semitism and the presence of a considerable Muslim population in France, the hypothesis of a meeting between Islamism and the anti-Semitic extreme left, as well as the hypothesis whereby the rise of anti-Semitism is connected with the evolution of the Jewish population in France which is increasingly attracted by a community-oriented way of life. This book demonstrates that present-day anti-Semitism owes as much to factors internal to French society (the social, institutional, and political crisis) as it does to the projection of global issues on French soil, in particular those which originate in the Middle East. He demonstrates that this phenomenon has novel aspects, but its more classical features are also borne in mind. This rigorous and objective book is the first scientific study of present-day French anti-Semitism.
