Encyclopedia: Pied noir But the pieds noirs remained committed to a discriminatory and even punitive system which insured their supremacy, included the transfer of vast amounts of Muslim land to their proprietorship, and reinforced their ingrained belief that Muslims should never be seen as real candidates for equality within France. Table 1 shows the distribution of parental ethnic exogamy for various cohorts of second-generation individuals.4 The distributions are presented separately for the children of pieds noirs and those of Maghrebin immigrants, but the total numbers, presented in the table, allow one to follow the changes in the relative sizes of these two populations. Decade after decade the influence of the "colons" and the " pieds noirs" prevented adoption of reforms that metropolitan and military elites repeatedly offered to integrate the Muslim majority into France in a manner parallel to the legal formulations that had incorporated the territory of Algeria had as a province or "departments" of the country. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Pied_noir   (1470 words)

Algeria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia People of European descent in Algeria (the so-called pieds-noirs), as well as the native Algerian Jews, were full French citizens starting from the end of the 19th century; by contrast, the vast majority of Muslim Algerians remained outside of French law, and possessed neither French citizenship nor the right to vote. Most of the 1,025,000 pieds-noirs, as well as 91,000 harkis (pro-French Muslim Algerians), or about 10% of the population of Algeria in 1962, fled Algeria for France in just a few months in the middle of that year. Tens of thousands of settlers from France, Italy, Spain, and Malta moved across the Mediterranean to farm the Algerian coastal plain and occupy the most prized parts of Algeria’s cities, benefiting from the French government's confiscation of communally held land. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Algeria   (1470 words)

Placeholder name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For places, the classic French kadigan is Trifouilly-les-Oies; in French-speaking Belgium, Outsiplou or even Outsiplou-les-Bains-de-Pieds (Outsiplou-the-FootBath) is used for a generic village of Wallonia; among French people of North African origin ("pieds-noirs"), Foun-Tataouine is the generic village, although a small village by that name actually does exist in Tunisia, lending its name. A kadigan for a monetary unit is тугрик(tugrik, the monetary unit of Mongolia; as is the case with Timbucktoo, most speakers are unaware of its actual existence). Indeed, kadigans have a grand future, if the Star Trek television franchise predicts accurately: many of the show's "scientific explanations" of their futuristic technology have a curious placeholder quality to them, causing fans of the show to speak of Treknobabble. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Placeholder_name   (1470 words)

Will Bush or Kerry Learn a Lesson from Charles de Gaulle? We are all convinced, Bidault the practicing Catholic, Soustelle the liberal, as well as myself, or the pieds-noirs of the group, that de Gaulle had a hundred times merited the supreme punishment." [7] Jean Lacouture, a biographer of de Gaulle, reported the infamous words of their OAS associate, Antoine Argoud: "Regardless of all that has been said and written, the physical suppression of the head of State poses no moral problem for any of us. In France, the OAS was using the terrorist capabilities of the proto-Nazi organization of Jean-François Thiriart, "Young Europe," under the leadership of Capt. Pierre Sergent, one of the masterminds behind the assassination attempts against de Gaulle. www.larouchepub.com /other/2004/3124iraq_algeria.html   (1470 words)

French colonial empires - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Algeria was particularly problematic for the French, due to the large number of European settlers (or pieds-noirs) who had settled there in the century and a quarter of French rule; in addition, a sizeable Jewish community feared that independence would expose them to persecution by Muslim Nationalists. Colonies were established in India in Chandernagore in Bengal (1673) and Pondicherry in the Southeast (1674), and later at Yanam (1723), Mahe (1725), and Karikal (1739) (see French India). The French colonial empire began to fall apart during the Second World War, when various parts of their empire were occupied by foreign powers (Japan in Indochina, Britain in Syria and Lebanon, the US and Britain in Morocco and Algeria, and Germany in Tunisia). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/French_North_Africa   (2260 words)

Algerian War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lacoste saw the assembly, which was dominated by pieds-noirs, as hindering the work of his administration, and he undertook to rule Algeria by decree. Soustelle, a one-time leftist and by 1955 an ardent Gaullist, began an ambitious reform program (the Soustelle Plan) aimed at improving economic conditions among the Muslim population. A major success was the conversion of Jacques Soustelle, who went to Algeria as governor general in January 1955 determined to restore peace. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Algerian_War_of_Independence   (5209 words)

Blogger: Email Post to a Friend Others now speaking out include the Pieds Noirs, the white Algeria settlers who had to flee the land in 1962; as well as the Harkis, Algerians who fought on the side of the French army, and who can neither return to Algeria nor find recognition in France. Together with an FLN group, she fell into an ambush by general Massu and was taken, seriously wounded, to his headquarters. Louisetta reported how Massu and General Marcel Bigeard insulted and degraded her, before they gave the instruction for the torture to begin with a hand movement. www.blogger.com /email-post.g?blogID=5652560&postID=110227684662713804   (5209 words)

The Head Heeb: Making comparisons, part 2A The end of the Algerian war of independence in 1963 left intense bitterness between Algeria and France, both among the newly independent Algerians and the returning pieds noirs. Both wars resulted in gradual but steady increases in brutality and erosion in the values of all parties - in Israel's case, the decline of the "model occupier" policy of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and in Palestine's, the growth of nihilism and popular support for terrorist acts. The Algerian war of independence, in fact, has enough in common with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that it is in my opinion useful in making predictions. headheeb.blogmosis.com /archives/014636.html   (1327 words)

Early French attempts to found colonies in Brazil, in 1555 at Rio de Janeiro (the so-called France Antarctique) and in 1612 at São Luís (the so-called France Équinoxiale), and in Florida were unsuccessful, due to Portuguese and Spanish vigilance and prevention.

Partial autonomy for Corsica splits French government This was preceded by a conflict between Corsican wine producers and the Pieds noirs, former French settlers from North Africa who had set up in Corsica after France had withdrawn from Algeria 1962. In addition to the liberal-democratic Corsican President José Rossi, also participating was his deputy and European Parliament representative Jean Guy Talamoni, chairman of Corsica Nazionale— the political arm of the armed separatist organisation “FLNC Canal historique”. The Corsican separatists are divided into rival cliques and their high-profile involvement in criminal activity has cost them a large part of their influence in the population. www.wsws.org /articles/2000/sep2000/cors-s05.shtml   (149 words)

Algerian War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As the FLN campaign spread through the countryside, many farmers in the interior (called pieds-noirs) sold their holdings and sought refuge in Algiers, where their cry for sterner countermeasures, including the proclamation of a state of emergency, capital punishment for political crimes and denouncement of all separatists, swelled. De Gaulle's initiative threatened the FLN with the prospect of losing the support of the growing numbers of Muslims who were tired of the war and had never been more than lukewarm in their commitment to a totally independent Algeria. An important watershed in the War of Independence was the massacre of civilians by the FLN near the town of Philippeville in August 1955. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Algerian_War_of_Independence   (5209 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Region Remembering the revolution By 1956 Algiers was dragged into the conflict with the execution of FLN guerrillas Ahmed Zabane and Abdul-Qader Ferradj and a terrorist bombing in the Casbah, attributed to French settlers better known as pieds noirs. From the FLN's headquarters in Cairo a proclamation was broadcast calling on Algerians to join in a united national struggle for the "restoration of the Algerian state, sovereign, democratic and social, within the framework of the principles of Islam". This was avenged by FLN bombings which saw the drafting of large numbers of French troops to the capital in 1957 to fight in the "Battle of Algiers". weekly.ahram.org.eg /2004/715/re6.htm   (403 words)

Encyclopedia: French colonization Algeria was particularly problematic due to the large number of European settlers (or pieds-noirs) who had settled there in the century and a quarter of French rule. Some recovery was made during the French intervention in the American Revolution, with Saint Lucia being returned to France by the Treaty of Paris in 1783, but not nearly as much as had been hoped for at the time of French intervention. The true beginnings of the second French colonial empire, however, were laid in 1830 with the French invasion of Algeria, which was conquered over the next 17 years (see French rule in Algeria). www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/French-colonization   (2334 words)

ICFFS-Cultural Memory Program While the legitimate Berberist claim to Algerian identity is rooted in solid historical ground, a far less viable population of political and historical casualties remains fated to suffer its "mémoire impossible" in silence: the pieds-noirs or French Algerians who remain stripped of memory rights both in France and Algeria. This paper will illustrate how theatre as a discourse and a public genre is capable of presenting what Freddie Rokem (Performing History) calls "an organized repetition of the past" capable of reconstructing a "community where the events from the past will matter again" (xii). www.fsu.edu /~icffs/abstracts/Gross.html   (1270 words)
