The immigrants played a significant role in France’s development as well as its laws throughout generations. Before the first and the Second World War and after the decolonization in Africa, lots of immigrants came to France to seek employment and a new life. Nowadays, the French immigration’s policy has changed. The European workers are more accepted than Africans. Because of xenophobic view and conservatism from the right wing (Le F.N.) the French government modified the laws in regards of immigration and citizenship.
The cultural part will include the following topics:
- The history of immigration.
- The political participation and impact of immigrants in France
- Immigration policy
- Controlled Immigration, Racism and citizenship in Modern France
The difference between immigrants and their integration in France vs. United-State.
