Cultural Assimilation of the Foreigners and Societal Integration in France

by Michèle TRIBALAT

SUMMARY

This article discusses the evolution of the integration of Algerian and other North-African immigrant descendants in France as the generations progress. Despite the assimilation of new generations into the majority’s culture and language, and the lessening of the practice of Islam - the religion of their heritage, there is still a distance between these ethnic minorities and the majority culture.
