  • The Algerian War and the 'Emancipation'
    6 Military ‘pacifi cation’ and the women of Bordj Okhriss So far the study of the MSF has centred mainly on grass-roots emancipa- tion processes in urban society, but in many ways the French attempt to elaborate a strategy of contact was even more important in the isolated high plains and mountains of the interior since this is where 80 per cent of the population lived and in which the ALN maquis found its local support. This terrain provided an excellent base for the insurgents, zones that were almost impenetrable to modern armed forces, and in which the guerrilla fi ghters, knowledgeable of every sheep-track, cave and gully, could move with ease and quickly melt away to avoid any pursuing commandos. A fundamental problem for the army in the zones of pacifi cation was how to engage in actions that would destroy guer- rilla bands, their bases and logistical support within the local peasant community, with all its attendant violence, and simultaneously win the population over to supporting the French political order through pro- viding them with security, schools, medical centres, roads and a ‘higher order’ of progress and civilisation than the ‘bandits’ could ever offer. Algerian peasant women found themselves, as have women universally in so many theatres of war from Palestine to Vietnam, caught in the eye of the storm and in order to understand the diffi culties facing the EMSI teams, their success or failure in winning over the inhabitants (see chapter 7), it is necessary fi rst to take into account the context of insecu- rity, the accompanying and contradictory violence of the armed forces, with which they were inevitably associated.

  • French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture During the Algerian War, 1954-1958
    French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture during the Algerian War, 1954-1958 Wynne M. Beers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2011 Approved By: Wayne Lee Joe Glatthaar Donald Reid ©2011 Wynne M. Beers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture during the Algerian War, 1954-1958 (Under the direction of Wayne Lee) This thesis examines the various means by which “strategy” was communicated to field commanders during the first half of the French war in Algeria, from 1954 to 1958, and then explores how the actions of a particular regimental commander and his subordinates provides testimony of how they synthesized the concept of “strategy” for them. Studying wartime strategy solely from the perspective of military and civilian high command leadership is insufficient because it only addresses one of several influences (schools, doctrine, past and current warfighting experiences, and logistical structure, to name a few) that interact together to modify how field commanders actually think about and conduct war. This thesis proposes that studying an army’s strategic culture, understood as the expression of a “way of war,” rather than simply an army’s “strategy,” provides a suitable synthetic approach by which historians and strategists can answer useful and specific questions concerning how and why commanders in the field wage war at their level.

  • Unrequited Loyalty: the Harkis in Postcolonial France
    STUDIA HISTORICA GEDANENSIA TOM V (2014) Michael Lejman (University of Memphis, USA) Unrequited Loyalty: The Harkis in Postcolonial France The demographic and political questions posed by immigration have long challenged European historians to critically assess definitions of European identity and narratives of decolonization, however since 1989 a number of studies have emerged which focus more on cultural interactions and the lived experience of immigrants to France from her former colonies. Written in the wake of the headscarf affair in France, these works reflect the concerns of an era in which terrorism and radical Islam is perceived as the primary external threat to America and the West. The primary result has been greater emphasis on immigration issues and the place of Muslims in French society and politics. Joan Scott, in The Politics of the Veil, examined how debates over the wearing of distinctive clothing by Muslim schoolgirls represent a complex combination of race, gender, class and nationalist factors at work in French society. Her work is a significant contribution to the ongoing discussion regarding intersections between Islam and French society. In another example, concentrating on the Algerians and the immigrant experience over multiple generations, Paul Silverstein offered a theoretically bold study of Algerian immigrant communities in the metropole in his 2006 book Algeria in France: Transpolitics, Race, and Identity. Central to his analysis is this term “transpolitics”, which Silverstein employed to mean the world of political connections between Algerians and between different North African immigrant groups in general. These connections question the utility of common geographic and religious based labels such as Algerians, North Africans or Muslims.
