Review

"A fascinating discussion of the discursive complexities of North African nationalist movements within the ideological framework of the inter-war period and the 1970s in France…[this book] links the historical detail to the major contemporary debates around immigration, nation and identity in France. The importance of Aissaoui’s argument is precisely that it provides a necessary historical perspective on these debates which is often lacking. It is the first major study in English to consider the role of earlier nationalist movements - the Etoile nord-africaine and the Mouvement des Travailleurs Arabes - in determining many of the debates and practices that have come to dominate the contemporary situation. … [Bringing together] detailed empirical work with a sophisticated understanding of theories of nation, race and ethnicity [this book is] an important contribution to existing literature in the area."--Max Silverman, Professor of Modern French Studies, University of Leeds

"Rabah Aissaoui’s book represents an important contribution to our understanding of the socio-political history of Maghrebi migrants in France, of Algerian nationalism, and of colonial and postcolonial histories of migration more generally. The comparative dimension to the study, contrasting the period 1925-1939 with that of the 1970s, has not been previously attempted. What emerges … is an original approach to the development of the Algerian nationalist movement, especially regarding how events in France articulated with those in Algeria. … The sub-national, national, transnational and diasporic aspects of the political discourses he has studied are very carefully articulated and analysed, and provide important new insights into the development of a political consciousness amongst Maghribi migrants in France. Rabah Aissaoui’s monograph is well written, clear and impressively inter-disciplinary, applying history, sociology and discourse analysis to good effect. There is an excellent balance between close empirical study and conceptual discussion."--Jim House, Co-Director, Institute of Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, and Senior Lecturer, Department of French, University of Leeds
