Les pingouins ne sauveront pas la banquise, 2026
Mélusine Boon-Falleur, JC Lattès, 224 p.
This book explores the gap between widespread awareness of the climate crisis and the persistent lack of action. Drawing on behavioral and cognitive sciences, it argues that ecological inaction is driven less by individual traits than by structural factors such as economic incentives, social norms, and the built environment. It offers practical insights into how changing these “rules of the game” can help foster collective engagement and accelerate the ecological transition.
The Police, Activists, and Knowledge: The Struggle Against Racialized Policing in France, 2026
Magda Boutros, Stanford University Press
Over recent years in France, police brutality, racial profiling, and police impunity have become central issues in public and political debate. Magda Boutros examines the social movements that brought these concerns to the forefront and analyzes how they reshaped discussions of policing and inequality.
Énergie et inégalités : Une histoire politique, 2025
Lucas Chancel, Seuil, 448 p.
The history of energy cannot be reduced to its technical dimension or to the sum of past political choices. It points instead to a diversity of possible futures, where decoupling energy consumption, material resources, and prosperity is inseparable from the question of social justice.
Le Fil invisible du capital. Déchiffrer les mécanismes de l'exploitation, 2025
Ulysse Lojkine, La Découverte, 256 p.
The book sheds light on the inner workings of contemporary capitalism by addressing simple yet unsettling questions: who really works for whom, and who decides for whom? By tracing the often invisible mechanisms of exploitation in the age of global value chains and finance, it offers insights to help readers understand inequalities and imagine large-scale forms of emancipation.
Social Life during Covid-19 in France, Germany, Italy and the UK, 2025
Ettore Recchi, Elias Naumann et al. (editors), Palgrave Macmillan, 282 p.
How the COVID-19 pandemic impacted social life across four major European countries. Drawing on high-quality longitudinal data, it investigates how personal, work, and political lives evolved during and after the pandemic, with particular focus on inequalities based on gender, age, and socio-economic status.
Discriminations, 2025
Mirna Safi, PUF, 334 p.
Why do forms of discrimination – unequal treatment based on criteria such as origin, gender, or sexual orientation – persist in democratic countries that are nonetheless committed to equal opportunities? How can we measure their scale, and can we make sense of the mechanisms that underpin them? What tools are available to combat them?

Célia Bouchet, Mathéa Boudinet, Maryam Koushyar Soucasse, and Gaëlle Larrieu coordinated this collection of seminal Anglo-American texts, published by Cambourakis. 224 p.
La peine et le plaisir, 2025
Hugues Lagrange offers a new, carefully argued reflection on the ailments of the twenty‑first century – anxiety, depression, addiction, obesity – which may stem from an imbalance between heritage and modernity. He asks whether esteem might lie at the heart of the problem. PUF, 325 p.
