Rethinking the Colonial in the Greater War
The Centenary of the First World War saw unprecedent prominence given to the ‘colonial contribution’ in commemorative discourse. While this newfound public recognition sometimes relied on simplistic and sanitised narratives of the war, scholarship produced in the period has greatly enriched understandings of how conflict was experienced by colonised peoples. In this article, I explore the utility of one of the key conceptual innovations of the Ce…
Rupture and reconciliation
First as candidate and then as President, Emmanuel Macron has elevated colonial memory policy as a key site for the performance and enactment of the dual values of rupture and reconciliation that underpin his broader programme. While this has led to significant symbolic shifts in the French state’s narrative of its colonial history, this article argues that this memory policy cannot and should not be disaggregated from his wider neoliberal projec…
Les Ratonnades d’Alger, 1956
Round table
The nature of Ireland's place within the British Empire continues to attract significant public and scholarly attention. While historians of Ireland have long accepted the complexity of Ireland's imperial past as both colonised and coloniser, the broader public debate has grown more heated in recent months, buffeted by Brexit, the Decade of Centenaries and global events. At the same time, the imperatives of social movements such as Black Lives Ma…
The League Against Imperialism
The League Against Imperialism: Lives and Afterlives explores the dramatic and engaging story of a global institution that brought together activists across geographical and political borders for the goal of eradicating colonial rule worldwide. The League against Imperialism (LAI) attracted anticolonial activists like India’s Jawaharlal Nehru, Indonesia’s Sukarno, and Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta, as well as prominent figures such as Albert Einstein, Er…
Acknowledging or Occluding “The System of Violence
In December 2018, the Royal Museum of Central Africa in the Brussels suburb of Tervuren reopened its doors to the public after five years of extensive renovations. Guido Gryseels, the director who
Les communistes et l'Algérie
From the outset, Alain Ruscio is eager to distinguish his book on the colonial-era Algerian Communists from much of the historiography that has preceded it. Critiquing both the ‘pure and simple den
Mobilizing Memory
Over the course of the Great War, a quarter of million settlers and subjects from Algeria served in French forces. Thousands more crossed the Mediterranean to work in the war industries of metropolitan France. On the Algerian Home Front, men, women, and children of all ethnic, religious, social, and political backgrounds contributed to the imperial war effort. 'Mobilising Memory' is the first study to explore how the mass mobilisation of Algerian…
Colonialism and Contested Cultures of Victory in the French Empire of the 1920s
More than any other belligerent power, France relied heavily on the contribution of her colonies during the First World War. Thus, the triumph over the Central Powers and the culture(s) of victory which emerged from it were undeniably ‘imperial’. But what did this mean for the postwar Empire? This article explores the extent to which victory was a disruptive force in France's Empire. It examines how actors of all ideological, social and ethnic ba…
Proud colons , proud Frenchmen
If any element of colonial Algerian society can be seen to embody a commitment to the logic of elimination at the heart of settler colonialism, it is the extreme right. With its unabashed defence of European supremacy and its enthusiastic celebration of the conquest, the interwar extreme right was steeped in the tropes of settler colonial politics. Nevertheless, its embrace of the discourses and practices typical of political movements in settler…
Contested commemoration
The past four years have seen a whole range of commemorative events around the globe to mark the centenary of the Great War. Few, however, have proved as controversial as the participation of Algerian troops in 2014s Bastille Day parade in Paris. This article examines the heated debate provoked by the Algerian presence at this act of commemoration, asking what it tells us about the complex interactions between history, memory and the practice of …
Defining Imperial Citizenship in the Shadow of World War I
Pupilles de L'empire
In July 1917 French legislators conferred a special legal status on those children whose parent(s) had died or been brutally mutilated while defending the patrie: pupille de la nation. In metropolitan France, the state, working closely with preexisting philanthropic organizations, would develop a system of provision for these children based on a legal right to full compensation for the loss they had endured. In the colonies, however, the applicat…
