- Authors
STEIN, SARAH ABREVAYA
- Abstract
This roundtable essay on decolonization focuses on the civil register created in 1961 and 1962 to register the Jews of the Mzab, Algeria in order to conform to the French Assembly's Law 61-805 of June 1961 to naturalize Jews of the Southern Territories of Algeria as French citizens. The register was created by Jean Moriaz, assistant district commissioner of Ghardaïa, Algeria during the final years of the Algerian War of Independence and extended French citizenship rights to Jews previously categorized as indigènes (indigenous subjects).
