The Islamic Origins Debate Goes Public
A central part of modern secularization has been the de‐theologization of the stories of religious origins. Islam is no different, even though this de‐theologization tends to be obscured by contemporary fundamentalism. In Islam, the story of origins centers on Mecca, Medina, the prophet Muhammad, the early Muslim community, and the expansion out of Arabia.

La Conquete de l'Independence Tunisienne
Les plaisirs du collectionneur
Le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique du Nord représentent des cas classiques de régions où, avant l'époque contemporaine, les classes dirigeantes préféraient bâtir leur fortune sur les impôts, la rente foncière ou le commerce plutôt que sur la production agricole. L'Algérie ne fait pas exception. Tirer profit du dry-farming était trop risqué dans un climat à pluviométrie irrégulière et l'agriculture irriguée avait des rendements si élevés qu'il n'était p…

Insurrection and Accommodation
‘If one seriously wanted to prepare the tribes for assimilation with France instead of reconstituting the government of Arabs by Arabs, would it not be wise to disorganize them, to multiply the little sheikhs and to replace the big leaders with French officers...?’ This candid question was asked by a French colon in 1847 shortly before the surrender of ‘Abd al-Qadir Ibn Mahi ad-Din, the most formidable Arab leader opposing the French establishmen…
