التعبئة الشعبية في الريف الجزائري إبان المرحلة التأسيسية للثورة 1954-1956 : المنطقة الثالثة نموذجا

Abstract EN

This study approaches the problematic of popular mobilization in the Algerian countryside during the first year of the 1954 revolution.

This takes into account that the latter as much as the idea had originated in the city, but to become a tangible reality, he had to transfer his center of gravity to the countryside.

However, this transfer, due to the restrictive colonial context, was accomplished on the run without any prior mobilization work, which made the task of the first Mujahedin so difficult and very complex.

In order to deal with this problem, we called on an approach based on the plurality of perspectives (historical criticism, micro-history, fieldwork, prosopography, transdisciplinarity, etc.

), with the aim of viewing the historical reality concerned under the as many angles as possible, resulting in as complete an image as possible.

Roughly speaking, the study concludes that the FLN (in zone 3), in spite of its modest beginnings in November 1954, had quickly succeeded during the following months in carrying out a large mobilization in the countryside concerned, while surpassing the colonials authorities its main enemy, and neutralizing the Messalist movement its most formidable competitor, and finally containing the village communities traditionally attached to their independence.

What was due thanks: ° In terms of form, to the adaptation of new methods of mobilization based on collective commitment, using efficient means and via accelerated stages, while using the “village” as the ideal framework for this process, in total harmony with the village structure of the rural world in question.

° In terms of substance, to the deep “correspondence” that he had manifested towards the beliefs, values and experiences of the rural world, in addition to his cutting positions and his clear language which appealed to the villagers.
