My dissertation will examine the French Government's attempts to integrate West Africans who immigrated to Paris after 1945, more particularly in the 1960's and the 1970's. In doing so, it will demonstrate that the French Government's employment, education, housing, and health policies for the integration of West Africans who immigrated to Paris during the 1960's and the 1970's were mostly unsuccessful, despite some limited achievements. The Government was responsible for this impeded success for two main reasons: insufficient centralization; and a faulty registration system.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a My dissertation will examine the French Government's attempts to integrate West Africans who immigrated to Paris after 1945, more particularly in the 1960's and the 1970's. In doing so, it will demonstrate that the French Government's employment, education, housing, and health policies for the integration of West Africans who immigrated to Paris during the 1960's and the 1970's were mostly unsuccessful, despite some limited achievements. The Government was responsible for this impeded success for two main reasons: insufficient centralization; and a faulty registration system.
520 $a The basis for my research was the legislative framework and the administrative structures for the resident status, employment, education, healthcare, and housing of West African immigrants in France. More specifically, certain key questions guided my research: What drove the specific policies of the Government towards the West African immigrants in France between the end of the Second World War and the 1970's? What did West African immigrants in Paris think of these policies? How did this community respond to these policies? What impact did changes in the aforementioned policies have upon this community? Were these policies effective in integrating West Africans, and if so, how? and, How did these policies compare to those for other immigrant groups during the same time period? These central questions behind my dissertation follow those I asked in my Master's Thesis. The Master's Thesis asked about the French in West Africa; my dissertation asks about West Africans in France.
520 $a It is important and necessary to study the French Government's political, economic, and social policies for West African immigrants in France during this period because a precedent was established for the treatment of future immigrants in France. In addition, the housing fires in Paris of September 2005 and the riots during late October and November of 2005 highlighted the poor housing and poor employment opportunities of West Africans and in turn demonstrated that the same problems from the 1960's and 1970's still existed: decrepit, unsanitary housing; and high unemployment. By its questions and its methods, this dissertation is also relevant to other European governments' efforts in the latter-twentieth century to integrate immigrants, for parallels exist between France and Germany, France and the Netherlands, and France and the United Kingdom.
