Résumé
The article deals with the mobilization of Moroccan railway workers. The French national train company hired them as contract workers in the 1970s. They achieved to sentence the company for discrimination. The ethnography of the judicial process explores the relationships between mobilization and legal action and their effects on the formation of a collective. The conditions of a long-term action (which was exceptional because of the number of complainants) and of its judicial translation, show that judicialization participated in the constitution of this group. This process reveals a tension between conscientization of complainants and dispossession by legal professionals.
