| | France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This concept of a Nation agreed upon is opposed to the German concept of a Nation based on ethnicity and race, and it was responsible for much of the conflicts between France and Germany in the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. | | | Contrary to what many people believe, the name of the former French currency, the franc, does not come from the name of the country. | | | The right-wing Front National party made significant inroads in the early 1980's, seized on voter concern about the perceived decline of France and 'national dissolution' as a result of immigration and globalisation, by advocating tougher law-and-order and immigration policies. |

| | Finally, Silverstein places great emphasis on the experience of Kabyle immigrants and their descendants in France, noting how both civil war in Algeria and immigrant experiences in France have led to a new assertion of Berber culture, one that rejects Arab hegemony and at times draws upon the “Kabyle myth” of the colonial era. | | | Ultimately, both suggest that immigrant activists are engaged in a seminal project of redefining the parameters of the French nation rather than simply assimilating into traditional models of national identity. | | | After the 1830 conquest of Algeria, French colonial theorists consistently argued that the “good” Kabyles were braver, more civilized, and easier to assimilate into French culture than the “bad” Arabs; contemporary Kabyle rejections of post-independence Arab national hegemony at times seems to resemble this earlier tradition. |
