Memories of la Mission Civilisatrice: Language Policy and Postcolonial
National Identities in Tunisia and France

Abstract
Global migration patterns increasingly challenge the historical
relationships between Western powers and their former colonies.
Traditional conceptions of who belongs where have weakened, and
language has become a heated topic of debate. This thesis explores how
national language policies both reflect and inflect the national
identities of the one-time colonizer and colonized. Using studies of
language politics in both Tunisia's independence and France's
responses to North African immigration, I demonstrate that despite the
half century that has passed since France occupied North Africa, the
colonial experience remains influential on both sides.
