Immigration : le fin mot de l'histoire

Immigration : the final say of history, Gérard Noiriel. In statements, articles or books devoted to the issue of immigration, " lessons of history " are easily put forward. Often lightly and at random. Our problems today are not so new, and preconceived ideas on the " assimilation " of foreigners do not stand up to the hard test of historic facts. We must fill the gaps in historical research in this area and make sure that the voices of historians are heard more clearly.Noiriel Gérard. Immigration : le fin mot de l'histoire.
