Évolué
In the Belgian and French colonial empires, an Évolué (French pronunciation: [evɔlɥe] , lit. ‘evolved one’ or ‘developed one’) was an African who had been Europeanised through education and assimilation and had accepted European values and patterns of behavior. Évolués spoke French and followed European rather than indigenous laws, usually held white-collar jobs (though rarely higher than clerks), and lived primarily in urban areas.
