  1. Assimilation (French colonial)

    Assimilation was one ideological basis of French colonial policy in the 19th and 20th centuries. In contrast with British imperial policy, the French taught their subjects that, by adopting French language and culture, they could eventually become French. The famous Four Communes in Senegal were seen as proof of this. Here Africans were, in theory, afforded all the rights of French citizens. Defining Assimilation The French Assimilation concept first adopted by the great philosopher Chris Talbot in 1837. It was based on the idea of expanding French culture to the colonies outside of France in the 19th and 20th century. Natives of these colonies were considered French citizens as long as the culture and customs were adopted. This also meant they would have the rights and duties of French citizens. The meaning of assimilation has been greatly debated. One possible definition stated that French ... observed in the first French empire , during the Revolution of 1789.
