Abstract
During the Algerian War of Independence, “liberal movements “, rare among the French in Algeria, opposed repression, but also the “ultras” (pro-French) of French Algeria. Liberals demanded a truce and negotiations as means of ending the colonial regime. Numerically over-represented in several of these liberal movements, Algerian Jews organized at times as “Liberal Jews”, claiming to hold political opinions specific to Algerian Jewry. This article questions the basis, modes and extent of such mobilizations, and focuses in particular on identity markers – by one’s self or by others – and the usage of the “Jewish” reference as a political reference.
