Introduction: A kaleidoscopic approach to European integration Eurafrican dreams, imperial realities -- Reforming empire, forming Europe The ultimatum for the Treaty of Rome -- Algérie Européenne French supremacy in Europe after Algerian independence Algeria, France, and the Europe of nation-states Conclusion: "We're From Europe--let us in!"

"The surprising story of how Algeria became part of the postwar European Economic Community-and why its membership ultimately ended. Challenging the narrative that postwar decolonization was separate from the establishment of an integrated Europe, the author shows how France used integration to defend imperial sovereignty. She also shows that the founders of integrated Europe did not limit it to a uniquely continental union"-- Provided by publisher.
