As French As Everyone Else? : A Survey of French Citizens of Maghrebin, African, and Turkish Origin

France is often depicted as the model of assimilationist or republican integration in the international literature on immigration. However, rarely have surveys drilled down to provide individual responses from a double representative sample. In As French as Everyone Else? , Sylvain Brouard and Vincent Tiberj provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of integration in France and challenge the usual crisis of integration by systematically comparing the "new French" immigrants, as well as their children and grandchildren born in France, with a sample of the French general population. The authors' survey considers a wide range of topics, including religious affiliation and religiosity, political attitudes and political efficacy, value systems (including gender roles, work ethics, and anti-Semitism), patterns of integration, multiple identities and national belongings, and affirmative action. As the authors show, despite existing differences, immigrants of Maghrebin, African, and Turkish origin share a wide scope of commonality with other French citizens. Annotation Here, the authors provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of integration in France and challenge the usual crisis of integration by systematically comparing the 'new French' immigrants, as well as their children and grandchildren born in France, with a sample of the French general population Shedding new light on integration and citizenship in France to reveal the ways in which immigrants do --and do not--share the attitudes of the majority population.
