When do people living under imperial rule participate in nationalist movements? Why did nationalist resistance erupt earlier in some places and later in others?
Drawing on evidence from the French Empire and from a sub-national study of Morocco, the speaker illustrates the problems with some of the most common explanations for nationalist mobilization and argues instead that disruptions in imperial authority provided opportunities for political opponents to act and prompted nationalist mobilization in favor of independent statehood.
