But as French population growth was slow, few immigrants could be found who were interested in taking up residency in North Africa. As a result, France also actively recruited immigrants from Switzerland. In 1962, as a result of Algerian independence, the Swiss living in Algeria also repatriated. They were part of a wave of returning Europeans, and as members of an \u2018overseas community\u2019, made claims. Could their respective governments (Swiss, French, etc.) help these returning citizens who were trying to protect their property in a former colony, safeguard their accumulated pensions, or obtain compensation for expropriated property? Switzerland is an unusual case: it did not have colonies, at least as administratively understood, but it did have colonists in Algeria (and other countries), so does it nevertheless have a colonial heritage? Are there similarities with other European countries that played a role in Africa during the colonial period? This article analyses the Swiss of Algeria and the Association des Suisses spoli\u00e9s d\u2019Alg\u00e9rie ou d\u2019outre-mer, founded in Geneva in 1967 in order to seek compensation for the loss of property after Algerian independence. It focuses on colonial and postcolonial relationships and how they were, and are, negotiated and reproduced in Switzerland. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Keywords: ASSAOM \u2014 Association des Suisses spoli\u00e9s d\u2019Alg\u00e9rie ou d\u2019outre-mer \u2014 D\u00e9colonisation \u2014 Alg\u00e9rie \u2014 Suisse \u2014 Migration<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Marisa Fois Source : https:\/\/archive-ouverte.unige.ch\/unige:107076 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[285,615,7,119,70,307,575,52,67,492,113,379,46],"class_list":["post-2698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","tag-285","tag-algeria","tag-article","tag-associations","tag-citizenship","tag-civil-and-political-rights","tag-civil-society","tag-french-language","tag-post-colonialism","tag-post-war","tag-public-administration","tag-resettlement","tag-return-migration"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2698\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
