This paper draws on my intellectual background with my experience as an African immigrant in Europe. Firstly, I examine my interest in racial and postcolonial issues. Secondly, I come back on the way in which I discovered with European sociology of law while suggesting ways of combining it with several intellectual traditions developed in the South.
