Why did colonial subjects mobilize for national independence from the French empirenbspThis question has rarely been posed because the answer appears obvious in the modern era nationalism was bound to confrontnbspcolonialismnbspThis book argues against taking nationalist mobilization for grantednbspContrary to conventional accounts it shows that nationalism was not the only or even the primary form of anticolonialismnbspDrawing on archival sources comparative historical analysis and case studies Lawrencenbspexamines the movements for political equality that emergednbspin the French empire during the first half of the twentieth centurynbspWithin twenty years they had been replaced by movements for national independence in the majority of French colonies protectorates and mandates Lawrence shows that elites in the colonies shifted from demands for egalitarian reforms to calls for independent statehood only where the French refused to grant political rights to colonial subjects Where rights were granted colonial subjects opted for further integration and reformnbspNationalist discourses became dominant as a consequence of the failure to reform Mass protests then erupted in full force when French rule was disrupted by war or decolonizationnbspnbsp
