"French-Algerian" refers to individuals or communities with ties to both France and Algeria. This term often describes people of Algerian descent living in France, particularly those whose families migrated during the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962) or in the years following. The cultural identity of French-Algerians is shaped by a blend of Algerian and French traditions, languages, and histories. Many French-Algerians maintain connections to their heritage while also integrating into French society, contributing to the rich multicultural landscape of France.
