Abstract FR:

On ne peut comprendre la variete des modes, des styles de vie, des formes de sociabilite, de systeme defense et d'adaptation, de degre d'insertion et la culture d'origine des populations africaines vivant en france; reduite ideologiquement a un syncretisme de "culture africaine" sans distinction d'ethnies ou de nationalites sans faire une etude ethnographique et sociologique de chacune d'elles. Cette premiere etude de la communaute camerounaise en france permettra de decouvrir les particularites, les atouts, les handicaps, les stigmates sociaux, culturels, politiques et la specificite de ces populations face a une societe occidentale en pleine mutation. We cannot fully understand the variety of the different types and ways of life, the various forms of sociability, of defense and adaptation along with, the degree of integration and the cultural origins. If reduced to an ideological syncretism of "african culture" that makes no distinction amongst ethnic groups of nationality, without first camping out an ethnographic and sociological study of each of these populations. This study of the cameroonian community, will allow a discovery of the characteristics, the specificites, the assets, as well as the handicaps of the social and cultural stigmas associated with the occidental community which is faced with the complete transformation of the french society.
