During the first half of the twentieth century, movements seeking
political equality emerged in France's overseas territories. Within
twenty years, they were replaced by movements for national
independence in the majority of French colonies, protectorates, and
mandates. In this pathbreaking study of the decolonization era,
Adria Lawrence asks why elites in French colonies shifted from
demands for egalitarian and democratic reforms to calls for
independent statehood, and why mass mobilization for independence
emerged where and when it did. Lawrence shows that nationalist
discourses became dominant as a consequence of the failure of the
reform agenda. Where political rights were granted, colonial
subjects opted for further integration and reform. Contrary to
conventional accounts, nationalism was not the only or even the
primary form of anti-colonialism. Lawrence shows further that mass
nationalist protest occurred only when and where French authority
was disrupted. Imperial crises were the cause, not the result, of
mass protest.
