State and Society : the Reactions of the Original French Population to Immigration

by Albert BASTENIER

SUMMARY

In France today, Bastenier describes how recent immigrants are not assimilating as completely as in the past, which is creating a crisis in the French national identity. He shows that the French feel all the more destabilized because they were used to consider their society as a "monument" that would erase all cultural differences
