Abstract:

This paper asks why mobilization in favor of reform within the French Empire was supplanted by demands for independence from the empire. I contend that mobilization in favor of liberal reforms constituted an alternative to nationalist demands for separation and argue against assuming a static preference for independent nation-states among political organizers in Morocco and Algeria. I propose a more dynamic understanding of resistance to French rule, one in which the preferences of Moroccan and Algerian political actors are not given, but are shaped by political opportunities and by their interactions with French administrators and politicians. The paper demonstrates the shift in collective action goals over time, and investigates the historical conditions that led people and organizations living under colonial rule to begin framing political requests in the language of nationalism
