It is likely that the violence that erupted in the fall of 2005 in many French cities and suburbs, in which young and unemployed black people played a large part, has accelerated the willingness of French officials to come to terms with this historical legacy. To face the challenge of integration, France must face its past.
看来，2005年秋天在法国很多城市及郊区发生的暴力，其中年轻人及失业黑人扮演了主要角色，已经加速了法国官员们试图解决这一历史遗留问题的意愿。面对融合问题的挑战，法国必须面对过去。但在许多法国以前的非洲殖民地中，必须要采用一种现代的方法，而不是一种新殖民的方法。
