The French assimilationist policy was a defining feature of its colonial administration, particularly in Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. Rooted in the ideals of the French Revolution and the concept of “mission civilisatrice” (civilizing mission), assimilation aimed to extend French culture, language, values, and political systems to colonized populations, with the ultimate goal of transforming them into French citizens who shared the same rights and responsibilities as those in the metropole. However, in practice, the policy was deeply contradictory, hierarchical, and selective, producing lasting effects on the social and political structures of the colonies. The origins of the assimilation policy are traceable to the Enlightenment values of liberty, equality, and fraternity, combined with the revolutionary ethos of universalism that emerged after 1789. The French believed that their civilization represented the pinnacle of human progress and that it was their duty to uplift the “less civilized” populations in the colonies. This ideology was translated into a colonial strategy that prioritized the imposition of French language, education, legal norms, religion (particularly Roman Catholicism), and cultural practices upon indigenous peoples. In practical terms, the assimilation policy was first implemented in the “Four Communes” of Senegal: Saint-Louis, Gorée, Rufisque, and Dakar.
