This article examines the various aspects of the processes of politization of the stakes related to the repatriates of Algeria, since 1962. Defined in terms of passage of the social activities or collective objects in the political field, politization belongs to the processes whose repatriations are the object, and who fall under the duration. In the case of the repatriates of Algeria, indeed, politization occurs initially «by the top», via a perception of the national interest by controlling, in a context where it is a question of maintaining the harmony; then «by bottom», in a situation marked by the wars of Algerian memories, where several groups of individuals request political power an arbitration in favour of their identity claims and/or their interests, through various repertories of political action.
