Une histoire sociale et culturelle du politique en Algérie et au Maghreb
Intervening on “Problem” Areas and their Inhabitants
This paper examines the different socio-political contexts in which, from 1941 onwards, public authorities in colonial Algiers constructed shantytowns and their inhabitants as a problem of public health, urbanism, containment, rehousing, migration control and security and then produced statistical information in an attempt to address these issues. It analyses the shifting respective weight attached to such logics, highlighting the increasing role…
Colonial Containment? Repression of Pro-Independence Street Demonstrations in Algiers, Casablanca and Paris, 1945–1962
This article draws on three examples of the violent repression of pro-independence nationalist street demonstrations: Casablanca, 7–8 December 1952; Algiers, 10–13 December 1960; Paris, 17 October 1961. Changes in the urban landscape due to migration, urban planning and housing policy brought the threat perceptions of the colonial authorities to centre upon certain poor districts and their inhabitants, in the context of strengthening pro-independ…
Double présence
La colonisation a accéléré les migrations économiques, et les guerres d'indépendance ont suscité des vagues de réfugiés. En comparant Alger, Casablanca, Hanoi et Saigon, cet article examine les causes de telles migrations internes et leurs conséquences sociales, spatiales et politiques. Des migrants ont joué un rôle primordial dans les luttes pour l'indépendance, en reliant villes et campagnes et en se servant des espaces urbains ségrégués comme …

Barnett Singer. The Americanization of France
Mixing archival research and interviews and observations of French society during his visits to the country since the early 1960s, Barnett Singer looks both at the end of French colonial rule in Algeria and the subsequent transition to greater Americanization. Using central and departmental archival material, Singer is keen to elide the distinction between political activities and criminality in order to portray the National Liberation Front in F…
L'impossible contrôle d'une ville coloniale
Centré sur la répression violente des manifestations nationalistes à Casablanca en décembre 1952, l’article analyse comment, dans un contexte de changement social et urbain rapide, les autorités coloniales tentèrent d’endiguer la prolifération des résistances politiques. Il montre, qu’en dépit de l’utilisation illimitée de la violence létale et de la répression judiciaire, les autorités coloniales furent incapables de rétablir l’ordre colonial, c…

Violent Modernity. France in Algeria
Time to Move On
In the General Introduction and Conclusion to our book, Paris 1961: Algerians, state terror, and memory , we argue that the time has come to move beyond the current phase of political battle, the fixed-position trench warfare, over the events of ‘17 October’ for a more open history that can begin to address some wider and more fruitful questions. At the core of the polemic during the last decade has been the almost obsessive ‘battle of numbers’ t…
Paris 1961
The massacre of Algerian demonstrators by the Paris police on the night of 17 October 1961 is one of the most contested events in contemporary French history. This book provides a multi-layered investigation of the repression through a critical examination of newly opened archives, oral sources, the press and contemporary political movements and debates. The roots of violence are traced back to counter-insurgency techniques developed by the Frenc…

La Fédération de France du FLN et l'organisation de la manifestation du 17 octobre 1961
L'article donne un nouvel aperçu, grâce à la consultation de documents internes du FLN et d'archives de la préfecture de police, du rôle déterminant de la fédération FLN de France dans la préparation de la manifestation du 17 octobre 1961. Cette structure clandestine basée à Paris, jusque là inconnue, très centralisée, communique par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de porteurs de valises avec le comité fédéral en Allemagne. Elle organise la manifesta…

Antiracist memories
This article examines the causes and subsequent cover-up of the massacre of Algerians by French security forces on 17 October 1961, and assesses the place and symbolic importance the memory of this massacre has come to occupy within Algerian immigrant communities and antiracist groups since the 1970s. These groups have actively campaigned for official recognition of the extent of and responsibility for the massacre. Finally, the article reflects …
