Is France's Model of Integration Broken?

Exploring issues of integration, immigration and identity in France. Julian Keane and Bola Mosuro chair a debate in Paris.

In France, immigrants are asked to assimilate French culture and leave their origins behind, whereas in the UK and elsewhere, immigrants are given more space to retain their own language and practices. What do these differing approaches mean for the creation and retention of a national identity? To what extent does immigration policy explain the growth of home-grown extremism?

Julian Keane and Bola Mosuro chair a special debate in Paris, exploring issues of immigration and identity in France and the contrasting policies of integration versus assimilation.
