| Abstract

This dissertation argues that the French political doctrine of integrationism, which acted as a palliative to Algerian nationalist demands for independence in the final years of the colonial war, survived the fall of formal empire in 1962. Just as the policy of integration provided full citizenship to 'Muslim Algerians' between 1958 and 1962, the policy moreover defined the way French authorities managed the unprecedented immigration of Algerians to France in the immediate postcolonial years. This analysis offers new insight to a still pronounced narrative: there has been an overwhelming insistence that the French state categorically ignored these immigrants and, in so doing, that officials deemed Muslim Algerians as unassimilable according to republican principle. Yet by mobilizing women's voices, particularly with respect to the French insistence of 'emancipating' Algerian women through a consumer-oriented model of Cold War domesticity, the dissertation reveals how social and cultural afterlives of empire persisted through women despite the nation's very conscious turn away from its imperial legacy in the early 1960s.
