In this article I'll try to show that beurs criticize both those who consider them as immigrants as well as the supporters of assimilation and integration policies. In most cases the beurs express their refusal of assimilation or integration through two different types of behavior: on the one hand, they come into conflict with society including criminal acts ; on the other hand, they use art, music, and theater as socially acceptable tools of confrontation.
But it should be added that beur s have a profoundly different vision of French culture in comparison with most French people. Praying five times per day and speaking Arabic doesn't prevent me from being French citizen. In order to understand the complex reality of the Algerian immigration in France 2 , it is important to take into consideration another point.
We have seen above that there are some relational problems on the one hand between beurs and French society and on the other hand between beurs and Algerian society, but there are also some differences between beurs and immigrants.
In particular, different attitudes to the so-called 'myth of return' Khellil ; La Coste-Dujardin should be mentioned. The immigrants dream of returning permanently to their native country, but the day of this return is postponed time after time.
An immigrant expresses this will both before the departure from his homeland and during his whole life abroad but often he never goes back. The topic of return is common in conversations with friends and relatives. Sometimes even a date is fixed but generally it is not respected. Indeed, home-coming often remains only a myth. On the contrary, with the word 'return' the beurs refer to France and not Algeria as their destination. This is absolutely clear in the words of most beur -girls, who live in dread of 'returning' to Algeria because they are worried about the possibility of being married to an Algerian man.
For example, women born in were 34 years old in We know how many children they have had before age 34 and we can estimate how many children they will have during their reproductive life. Fertility can be controlled by means of contraception and induced abortion. Information on contraceptive practice in France is obtained through surveys conducted regularly by INED since among the entire female population. The number of induced abortions is estimated on the basis of abortion notifications and hospital statistics.
INED is responsible for publication of abortion statistics. Marriage registers provide a rich source of information on marriage practices: number of marriages, previous marital status and nationality of spouses, etc. The first task in a population census is to enumerate dwellings.
Persons living in the same dwelling form a household, so each household comprises all the persons living in a single dwelling. According to the census definitions, a household may comprise one or more families. Death registers provide a means to measure variations in mortality.
Deaths by sex and age are used to construct life tables which give life expectancy at birth, i. The mortality of children under the age of one year is also specifically calculated. When a person dies, a doctor records the cause of death on a death certificate which is sent to INSERM where all causes of death are coded.
Two statistical series drawing on different sources are presented. INSEE uses annual census surveys that provide an overview of net migration and entries and departures of non-immigrants and immigrants including undocumented foreigners. Population censuses provide an opportunity to count the number of inhabitants who were born outside France.
Among foreign-born inhabitants, a distinction is generally made between persons born with French nationality and immigrants, who are born with a different nationality. Inhabitants are distinguished by their nationality, i.
French or foreign and, among French citizens, those who were born French and those who have been naturalized. The census provides information on current nationality and nationality at birth. Foreigners and immigrants form two different categories. Immigrants "born abroad as a foreign national" may still be foreigners at the time of the census or may have become French.
Foreigners, for their part, may have been born abroad in which case they are immigrants or in France in which case they are not immigrants.
This section provides data tables on populations, births and deaths in Europe and in developed countries. It also includes indicators of population change birth and death rates and the two main demographic indicators: the total fertility rate and life expectancy at birth.
The World Population Prospects publication provides United Nations population estimates for all countries in the world for each year between and and projections under different scenarios low, medium and high for each year between and The figures presented here correspond to the projections for the current year in the medium scenario. An atlas, interactive maps, an animated film on migrations and annotated graphs that will enable you to visualize and understand world demographic trends and the issues they involve.
So you think you know everything about population? Check how well you do on our quizzes. We have more values and principles than these people, when it is our Frenchness that is denied every time. Look, even the minister of sports is always from a minority.
In , he became a world champion. He scored twice during the final. Everyone started saying, minorities are integrating in the nation: La France, black, blanc, beur. Even if you feel like you are part of this nation, there is always someone to make you remember that you are not. This would make the future brighter for us.

I had a scholarship to study biology but after a year I dropped out and decided to stay. Seeing the mass protests on the streets made me want to be part of the mature and political movement.
French literature was a huge part of my childhood in Algeria. My idea of French society had nothing to do with the war. I loved the culture, and that was all that mattered.
