This paper addresses several issues of significance in the field of migration and health, transcultural psychiatry and the politics of healthcare, in order to reflect on the integration of the Muslim West African population in France. My analysis is based on ethnographic fieldwork that I carried out in Paris, in a clinic that targets migrant patients with psycho-social dilemmas and in a foyer among Soninke migrants from the region of Kayes, Mali. The reader is introduced to two case studies that shed light on the detachment existing between migrants and the mainstream healthcare offered to them. Arguably the divide interlaces with the particular secular, positivistic emphasis that moulds, epistemologically and culturally, French civil society as a whole, as opposed to other traditional, religious worldviews that understand healing as a symbolic and spiritual experience achieved through ritual.
