Welfare and Warfare: Social Action for Algerian Migrants in Metropolitan France during the Algerian War A Dissertation Presented by Elizabeth Caitlin Sloan to The Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Stony Brook University May 2012 Copyright by Elizabeth Caitlin Sloan 2012 Stony Brook University The Graduate School Elizabeth Caitlin Sloan We, the dissertation committee for the above candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, hereby recommend acceptance of this dissertation.

The brutal war ending in Algerian independence in 1962 fell in the midst of thirty years of French industrialization fueled by the arrival of thousands of Algerian workers. It also followed over a century of definition and redefinition by the French state of what it meant that Algeria and France formed a single nation. In this period, Algerians’ perceived cultural difference was the object of serious concern to state policy makers and local associations alike, concern rooted in assumptions that Algerians’ capacity for assimilation was hindered by their presumably un-modern, Muslim lifestyle, as well as in fears that the Algerian National Liberation Front was gaining ground in the metropole. This dissertation argues that the realm of welfare became a second front during the Algerian War, in which social services became a wartime tactic and the stakes were the future of Algérie française and the validity of republican colorblindness. iii For my parents iv Table of Contents Abstract of the Dissertation iii Dedication Page iv List of Abbreviations vii Acknowledgements viii Curriculum Vitae x INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER 1 32 The Fourth Republic Confronts Algerian Migration (1946-56) Conceptualizing Algerian Difference after World War II 36 “A Massive Influx” 39 Algerian Workers on Strike 42 State Social Action 48 Calling on the Associations 56 ‘The Events in Algeria’ and Cautious Optimism 69 Conclusion 76 CHAPTER 2 78 Fighting Poverty, Fighting Algerian Nationalism at the Transition to the Fifth Republic (1957-59) Crisis in Algeria 81 The FLN Arrives in the Metropole 83 The Muslim Affairs and Social Action Service (SAMAS): 85 Social Action as Counterterrorism The Collection and Distribution of Information (the CTAM) 97 Radio and Print Propaganda 100 The SAT-FMA: Policing under the Guise of Social Action 108 The Return of de Gaulle 114 The Fonds d’action sociale: Social Action without Repression 118 Michel Massenet and the 1959 Social Action Plan: Drafting a Unified Policy 122 Linkages and Tensions 136 Conclusion 142 v CHAPTER 3 144 Private Associations and the Politics of Social Action Associations in the Fifth Republic’s Social Action Plan 145 Gaullists 149 Religious Organizations 153 Associations’ Political Activities and Tensions with the French Government 156 The ‘Cultural Level’ of Families in the bidonvilles 161 Youth on the Streets 169 Algerian Women and Girls 177 Colonies de vacances 179 Persistent Poverty and Isolation 184 Conclusion 186 CHAPTER 4 188 Social Action and the Paris Police (1960-62) The Fight against the French Federation Continues as Independence Approaches 189 The Force de Police Auxiliaire (FPA) 191 Poverty and the Police in the Parisian bidonvilles 195 Police Violence and the Lead-up to October 17, 1961 201 Michel Massenet’s Resistance to Police Brutality 208 Local Resistance 216 Conclusion 221 EPILOGUE 223 BIBLIOGRAPHY 238 vi List of Abbreviations AMANA: Aide morale aux Nord-africains ANARF: Amicale des Nord-Africains Résidant en France BRS: Bureaus de renseignements specialisés CAC: Centre des Archives Contemporaines CANAM: Commission d’Aide aux Nord-Africains dans la Métropole CARAN: Centre d'accueil et de recherche des Archives nationales CIMADE: Comité inter-mouvements auprès des évacués CIV: Centre d’identification de Vincennes CSMONA: Contrôleurs sociaux de la main-d’œuvre nord-africaine CTAM: Conseillers techniques aux Affaires musulmanes FAS: Fonds d’action sociale FLN: Front de libération nationale FMA: Français musulmans d’Algérie FPA: Force de Police Auxiliaire (harkis) GEANARP: Groupe d’Etude et d’Action pour les Nord-Africains de la region parisienne JCLT: Jeunesse, Culture, Loisirs, et Technique HLM: Habitation à loyer modérée IGAME: Inspecteur général de l’Administration en mission extraordinaire MNA: Mouvement national algérien MTLD: Mouvement pour le triomphe des libertés démocratiques NF: Nouveaux francs OAA: Office administrative de l’Algérie OAS : Organisation armée secrète PPA: Parti du peuple algérien PCF: Pari communiste français RTF: Radiodiffusion-télévision française SAC: Service d’action civique SAMAS: Service des affaires musulmanes et de l’action sociale SAS: Section administrative spécialisée SAT-FMA: Service d’assistance technique aux Français musulmans d’Algérie SAU: Section administrative urbaine SCAA: Service de coordination des affaires algériennes SCINA: Service de coordination des informations nord-africaines SGAA: Secrétariat général pour les affaires algériennes SLSNA: Service des liaisons sociales nord-africains SONACOTRAL: Société national de construction de logements pour les travailleurs algériens et leurs familles SSFNA: Service social familial nord-africain vii Acknowledgements While much of the work that goes into writing a dissertation is done alone at a computer screen, this project was far from a solitary endeavor. Thanks are therefore due, first and foremost, to my advisor, Gene Lebovics, who first encouraged me to critically examine French republican values. His guidance, constructive criticism, and numerous reassurances were essential to my seeing this dissertation through to completion. Eric Beverley provided wise advice at various stages of the writing process and helped me see the big picture in which my project fits. Cliff Rosenberg generously offered his time and expertise on the topic of immigration control and I am grateful to have had him on my committee. Kathleen Wilson elucidated the theoretical currents that ultimately underpinned my research project and has provided indispensable support throughout my years as a graduate student. Thanks are also due to Paul Gootenberg, who taught me to ask productive research questions when my work was in its earliest stages. Courses with Brooke Larson, Alice Ritscherle, Olufemi Vaughan, Young-Sun Hong, Alix Cooper, Sara Lipton, and John Williams sharpened my skills as a historian and pushed me to examine issues of race, inequality, and national belonging beyond the geographic and temporal confines of modern Europe. I am also indebted to Lynn Struve, Stephen Andrews, Carl Ipsen, Wendy Gamber, and Jim Madison for fostering my interest in history as an undergraduate at Indiana University. Nancy Green offered academic guidance as well as needed reassurance during my first weeks in Paris. Kristen Stromberg Childers read my research proposal and offered sage advice. Conversations with Emmanuel Blanchard, Amelia Lyons, Elisa Camiscioli, Angéline Escafré- Dublet, Lizabeth Zack, Amit Prakash, Héloïse Finch-Boyer, Pete Soppelsa, and Jaime Wadowiec were likewise invaluable to this project. I am also grateful for the help I received from archivists and librarians at the Centre des archives contemporaines, the Centre d’accueil et de recherche des Archives nationales, the Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration, and the Frank Melville Jr. Memorial Library at Stony Brook. I was lucky to be chosen to participate in the Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute at the Center for German and European Studies at the University of Minnesota during the final stages of writing and editing. Seminar leaders Patricia Lorcin and Abderrahman Moussaoui generously read and commented on portions of the dissertation. Thanks also to fellow TASI participants Marie-Thérèse Atséna Abogo, Sabina Bellofatto, Sarah Boardman, Jennifer Croft, Jérome Drevôn, Jane Freeland, Sara Marzioli, Hugh McDonnell, Terry Peterson, Mircea Platon, Fabien Sacriste, Charlotta Salmi, Brian Shaev, Andrew Shield, Sebastian Sparwasser, Evgeniy Sterin, Ebru Sungun, Helin Ucar, and Hanene Zoghlami, whose wide-reaching expertise made for many fruitful discussions and gave me fresh insight into the issues my research addresses. viii Thanks to Christóbal Zuniga-Espinoza, Marisa Balsamo, Justin Williams, Hee-Jeong Sohn, Rika Michalos, Andrés Estefane-Jaramillo, Kelly Condit-Shrestha, Mark Rice, Adam Charboneau, Matt Scalena, Christina Bosco Langert, Sung Yup Kim, Soraya Baselious, Seth Offenbach, Greg Jackson, Ryan Shaffer,

  • The Algerian War, European Integration and the Decolonization of French Socialism
    Brian Shaev, University Lecturer, Institute for History, Leiden University The Algerian War, European Integration, and the Decolonization of French Socialism Published in: French Historical Studies 41, 1 (February 2018): 63-94 (Copyright French Historical Studies) Available at: https://read.dukeupress.edu/french-historical-studies/article/41/1/63/133066/The-Algerian- War-European-Integration-and-the https://doi.org/10.1215/00161071-4254619 Note: This post-print is slightly different from the published version. Abstract: This article takes up Todd Shepard’s call to “write together the history of the Algerian War and European integration” by examining the French Socialist Party. Socialist internationalism, built around an analysis of European history, abhorred nationalism and exalted supranational organization. Its principles were durable and firm. Socialist visions for French colonies, on the other hand, were fluid. The asymmetry of the party’s European and colonial visions encouraged socialist leaders to apply their European doctrine to France’s colonies during the Algerian War. The war split socialists who favored the European communities into multiple parties, in which they cooperated with allies who did not support European integration. French socialist internationalism became a casualty of the Algerian War. In the decolonization of the French Socialist Party, support for European integration declined and internationalism largely vanished as a guiding principle of French socialism. Cet article adresse l’appel de Todd Shepard à «écrire à la fois l’histoire de la guerre d’Algérie et l’histoire de l'intégration européenne» en examinant le Parti socialiste. L’internationalisme socialiste, basé sur une analyse de l’histoire européenne, dénonça le nationalisme et exalta le supranationalisme.

  • Bordeaux Pendant L'occupation
    Cours du 22 octobre 2015 BORDEAUX PENDANT L’OCCUPATION I° – La débacle Juin 1940: l'exode vers Bordeaux : alors que l’armée allemande progresse, les autorités françaises battent en retraite. Bordeaux paraît alors hors de portée de la Wehrmacht. En quelques heures, la ville, sous la poussée de l’exode, est envahie et la cohue s’installe. Ministres, parlementaires, fonctionnaires, entreprises... et des centaines de milliers de réfugiés déferlent. En quelques semaines, la population bordelaise passe de 300 000 à 1 million d’habitants. La ville se transforme en une cohue indescriptible. Des milliers de véhicules, de voitures à cheval, de charrettes à bras et de bicyclettes, surchargés de valises, de cartons, de baluchons mal ficelés surmontés de matelas fixés tant bien que mal pour protéger des mitraillages, traversent l’unique pont de Bordeaux. Bordeaux. Le Pont de Pierre. Juin 1940. Les réfugiés envahissent les rues, le port ou stationnent 400 bateaux et bivouaquent dans les parcs et sur les trottoirs. Plus d’un million de repas sont distribués quotidiennement. Mais la pénurie menace, l’eau est rationnée, les hébergements, même de fortune, font défaut. La débâcle frappe également les entreprises : on trouve les 4 000 employés de Peugeot de Sochaux, le personnel de la banque de France avec les réserves en devises, or, titres et valeurs… 1 Les réfugiés attendant à la gare Saint-Jean 2 Bordeaux, capitale de la France : à partir du 14 juin, le gouvernement et l’appareil d’état arrivent de Touraine, de moins en moins sûre. Après la Commune en 1870-1871 et 1914, Bordeaux s’improvise capitale de la France pour la 3 e fois de son histoire.

  • France and the German Question, 1945–1955
    CreswellFrance and and the Trachtenberg German Question France and the German Question, 1945–1955 ✣ What role did France play in the Cold War, and how is French policy in that conºict to be understood? For many years the prevailing as- sumption among scholars was that French policy was not very important. France, as the historian John Young points out, was “usually mentioned in Cold War histories only as an aside.” When the country was discussed at all, he notes, it was “often treated as a weak and vacillating power, obsessed with outdated ideas of a German ‘menace.’”1 And indeed scholars often explicitly argued (to quote one typical passage) that during the early Cold War period “the major obsession of French policy was defense against the German threat.” “French awareness of the Russian threat,” on the other hand, was sup- posedly “belated and reluctant.”2 The French government, it was said, was not eager in the immediate postwar period to see a Western bloc come into being to balance Soviet power in Europe; the hope instead was that France could serve as a kind of bridge between East and West.3 The basic French aim, according to this interpretation, was to keep Germany down by preserving the wartime alliance intact. Germany itself would no longer be a centralized state; the territory on the left bank of the Rhine would not even be part of Germany; the Ruhr basin, Germany’s industrial heartland, would be subject to allied control. Those goals, it was commonly assumed, were taken seriously, not just by General Charles de Gaulle, who headed the French provisional government until Jan- uary 1946, but by Georges Bidault, who served as foreign minister almost without in- terruption from 1944 through mid-1948 and was the most important ªgure in French foreign policy in the immediate post–de Gaulle period.

  • Yvon Delbos and Anthony Eden: Anglo-French Cooperation, 1936-38
    1 YVON DELBOS AND ANTHONY EDEN: ANGLO-FRENCH COOPERATION, 1936-38 Glyn Stone Anthony Eden was appointed foreign secretary at the end of 1935 following the dismissal of Sir Samuel Hoare for his part in the infamous Hoare-Laval Pact. Yvon Delbos, a member of the Radical party, became French foreign minister six months later as a result of the victory of the Popular Front in the May 1936 elections. Eden resigned as foreign secretary on 20 February 1938. Delbos followed suit less than four weeks later on 14 March 1938. When he became foreign secretary at the age of thirty eight, Eden was already the ambitious, rising star of the Conservative party and had accumulated an impressive degree of experience in foreign affairs having been parliamentary private secretary to foreign secretary Austen Chamberlain between 1926 and 1929, under secretary of state for foreign affairs from September 1931 until January 1934 when he became lord privy seal, and then in June 1935 minister of league of nations affairs (without portfolio). In comparison, Delbos was far less experienced, as Robert Young has observed: Yvon Delbos went to the Quai d’Orsay in his early fifties, equipped with a respectable if unspectacular reputation as a competent member of the Chamber and as a journalist with special interest in foreign affairs. A quiet, moderate man of modest political ambitions…Significantly, in a political world renowned for its gastronomic and alcoholic excesses, here was one, a curiosity, who did not suffer from liver complaints. But he was not the sort of man from whom one could expect either brilliance or novelty in foreign policy.1 Yet, the two foreign ministers developed a good working relationship and contributed much to the improvement in Anglo-French relations after the Abyssinian debacle and the mutual recrimination of the Rhineland crisis.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dominique Fisher Reader: Martine Antle Reader: Hassan Melehy Reader: José M. Polo de Bernabé Reader: Donald Reid © 2007 Corina Dueñas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT CORINA DUEÑAS: De la douleur à l’ivresse: Visions of War and Resistance (Under the direction of Dominique Fisher) This dissertation explores the notion of gendered resistance acts and writing through close readings of the personal narratives of three French women who experienced life in France during the Second World War. The works of Claire Chevrillon (Code Name Christiane Clouet: A Woman in the French Resistance), Marguerite Duras (La Douleur), and Lucie Aubrac (Ils partiront dans l’ivresse) challenge traditional definitions of resistance, as well as the notion that war, resistance and the writing of such can be systematically categorized according to the male/female dichotomy. These authors depict the day-to-day struggle of ordinary people caught in war, their daily resistance, and their ordinary as well as extraordinary heroism. In doing so, they debunk the stereotypes of war, resistance and heroism that are based on traditional military models of masculinity. Their narratives offer a more comprehensive view of wartime France than was previously depicted by Charles de Gaulle and post-war historians, thereby adding to the present debate of what constitutes history and historiography.
