What examples are of French and Arab cultural integration?

Accepted answer
There were sadly few writers of the Arab world who wrote in French until 1945. There were, however, lots of French writers who wrote about the Arab culture. My preferred one is René Guénon, also known as Shaykh `Abd al-Wahid Yahya. On the other side, the French culture influenced a lot of francophile writers. In Lebanon nowadays a lot of writers write in French. Here is a list of most influential writers. There are hundreds of other who could be listed. Some of them used a very arabic style to write in French, others were more academic. All are very well-known in France and in their own country:
Arab writers in the French language:
- Kateb Yacine (Algerian)
- Tahar Ben Jelloun (Marrocco)
- Jean and Taos Amrouche (Algerians)
- Amin Maalouf (Lebanon)
- Mohammed Dib (Algerian)
Arab writers who were particularly influenced by the French culture:
- Abdelkader (Ottoman Algeria / Syria / France)
- Taha Hussein bey (Egypt) (He also translated modern French litterature in Arab)
French writers influenced by the arabic culture:
- René Guénon
- Albert Camus
- Jean Servier (also, he traveled a lot in the Maghreb and his anthropological works on the Berberian culture are fascinating to read and always useful for sociological or ethnicological research, but very hard to find)
- Charles de Foucauld
- Louis Massignon
- Max-Pol Fouchet
- Gilles Deleuze (philosopher)
