assimilation
tensions
colonised people were encouraed or forced to adopt the French language, education, customs, and values
many felt their traditional cultures, religions, and identity were being erased
assimilation created a small western-educated elite who sometimes enjoyed greater privileges than the wider population
this widened inequalities between educated elites and ordinary people, causing social tensions
example: Burqa Ban- tensions with the muslims because they wanted to prioritize their religious/ spirtual beliefs by wearing burqas and abayas to school, which goes against local practices
- resistance to cultural change
local communities resisted abandoing their language, customs, and religious practices
this sparked protests, nationalist movements, and efforts to preserve indigenous cultures
