This event follows the successful inaugural seminar by Rainer Buschmann in Spring 2009.
Our second Seminar will feature our colleague from California Lutheran University, Dr. Richard Derderian, who will talk on “The French Melting Pot: Immigration and National Memory.” France has a richer immigration history than any other country in Europe. In fact, by the 1930s, France was one of the world's leading per capita destination for immigrants—surpassing even the United States. Why then has immigration never figured prominently in the French national identity?
Learn more about the story of immigration in France and the histories of the North African and Vietnamese communities in particular.
