The Jews from Algeria and the Decolonization

Abstract

The Jewish settlements in North Africa have been been existing for centuries but the colonization of those territories by the French deeply changed the conditions of living of those communities. They have become more and more distant from their former Berber Arab environment. We are going to study the evolution of the situation of the Algerian Jews from the beginning of the era of Decolonization in North Africa in the 1950's to the end of the War and also the massive immigration of the French into Algeria.
