  • Title: [African immigration in France: from pioneers to family reunion].
    Author: Barou J.
    Journal: Rev Fr Aff Soc; 1993; 47(1):193-205. PubMed ID: 12177881.
    Abstract:
    An attempt is made to analyze components of the main migration streams from Africa to France and their consequences for the destination country. The author estimates that there are currently about 300,000 immigrants of African origin in France. Three waves of migration are identified: pre-independence migration, which consisted mainly of manual workers moving to the major port cities; migration from 1960 to 1975, primarily from the Senegal River valley region; and a larger number of recent immigrants, some illegal, who consist mainly of students, asylum seekers, and those joining family members who migrated earlier. Social issues raised by certain migrant customs, such as polygamy, and the problems faced by the children of immigrants, are discussed.
