Abstract:The nature of French assimilation in Senegal from the Restoration to the advent of Faidherbe is examined, and the author elucidates some of the ways in which the prevailing attitudes of the administration influenced and interacted with the outlook and activities of Catholic clergy in the area, amongst others in the field of education, in the period which saw the effective birth of the modern missionary movement. Notes, sum.
