Mamadou Diouf talks in his article about french colonial policy and how senegal raises in this era. Senegal, one of former french colonies, received like others, a process of modification untill its alienation. To start, French colonial policy of assimilation affected essentially four cities or community. In fact, those cities were associated because of their economic dependence and importance. French administration placed in those communes represents the head and the power of their systems. The two revealed religions which is the Islam and Christianism help also the integration of some citizen on those communes. In reality, french assimilation permit the loss of africans historical initiative and of their cultural creativity. Anyway, French processes of assimilation was of three matters: The urbanisation of cities by development of economy society and politic; The religion in his mission of convertion and the integration in french citizenship. The religion had an important role during the colonisation because it changes people mind by erase local law and social structure. The colony forge, in fact is religion by copying foreign matters; religious monuments today show it (churches and mosques ).But also, to arrive to assimillate people the church has made many modification like the translation in local language to permit everybody to be concerned. Finally, all those initiatives helped in the formation and globalization of senegalese new culture.
