Baku, Azerbaijan, March 29. France continues to
destroy local cultures through forced assimilation, representative
of Reunion Cedric Famibelle-Pronzola said during the international
conference on “Colonialism: the destruction of religious and
national identity” organized by the Baku Initiative Group, Trend reports.
Famibelle-Pronzola noted that local culture includes the
behavior, beliefs, customs, and traditions of a people, and
assimilation is the process by which individuals are absorbed into
the dominant culture of a society.
“It’s no coincidence that the process of assimilation in France
begins precisely in the colonies, where we were taught French
history, geography, and language, but nothing about our culture and
language,” he added.
