This chapter blends the traditional oppositions between Germany and France ; if French "assimilationism" is prima facie "inclusive", it is also "exclusive" (i.e. based on a form of a latent intolerance), as it does not admit anything else other than its own core identity and it represses all other languages and cultures. Conversely, German "marginalism" seems prima facie "exclusive", because it does not give citizenship to the migrants, but, at the same time, it is relatively tolerant, allowing them to differentiate themselves and to live according to their own standards.
