A Settler Colonial Memorial Book
In French colonial Algeria (1830-1962), a European settler community was made from both displacement and the encounter with Indigenous Algerian collectives. After Algeria's independence from France in 1962, this community was remade by a second displacement and the encounter in France with the metropolitan community. Known as Pieds-Noirs, this community has organized associative life, books, and newsletter publications, and sometimes return visit…

To engage with patrimoine, I draw on the 2017 American Institute of Maghrib Studies-sponsored conference entitled ‘Historic Preservation in North Africa/La préservation historique en Afrique du Nord: Symposium international AIMS’ co-organised by Susan Slyomovics and Diana Wylie, an anthropologist and historian. A group of architects, historians, anthropologists, heritage practitioners and workers from across the Maghreb convened in Oran, Algeria …
Dismantling a world
The history of France's war memorials is a much-studied domain of scholarly inquiry. According to historian Antoine Prost, constructing monuments on a grand scale to commemorate wars was a response to the staggering number of 1,300,000 French dead in World War I. Among those who fought for France in 1914–18 were 343,000 conscripted and mobilised Algerians divided according to colonial categories between French citizens and indigènes, the latter d…
The Virgin Mary of Algeria
Implanted in 1846 as a pilgrimage site on Algerian soil after France's 1830 conquest, the majestic Virgin Mary of Santa Cruz statue overlooks Oran, Algeria's second city. This essay traces trans-Mediterranean journeys by Virgin Mary statues between France and Algeria that call for reflexive, mirrored readings. A key concept is the 'repatriated,' a French legal category for European settlers of Algeria that extends to objects and statues they carr…

Hassiba Ben Bouali, If You Could See Our Algeria
Reprinted from the 1995 Middle East Report special issue on Algeria, this essay asks how to interpret Algerian feminists of the early 1990s holding public demonstrations in the name of Hassiba Ben Bouali, a moudjahida killed by the French during the Battle of Algiers in 1956–1957? Women’s movement into public space exposes the interplay among Algerian society’s spatial arrangements, the status of women, and the ideological underpinnings of the Al…
Memory Studies
Why are humans fated to remember and forget? For Plato, it is because we are wounded by our memory of a previous existence, namely the Platonic "realm of ideas," to which we forever long to return. In the social sciences, especially history and anthropology, burgeoning cross-disciplinary methodologies and approaches have emerged to study the ways in which humanity remembers and forgets; "cultural memory studies" and the "anthropology of memory" c…
French restitution, German compensation
Post-World War II German reparative measures had originally been created for the benefit of European Jews. The April 2004 official German compensation programme for Jews who were interned in World War II included reparations to Algerians Jews of North Africa who were involved in a history of German indemnification superimposed upon a prior history of French restitution. Post-war German reparations since 1952 continue to be rooted in ongoing vibra…
Jews and French colonialism in Algeria
Within the first decades of France's conquest of Algiers, Algerian Jews became a distinct historical subject, arguably for the first time. Thus while it is a tautology to suggest that the history o
On Happiness
What do anthropologists have to say about happiness? For some contributors in this Vital Topics Forum, happiness is a sensory force that colors and shapes human evolution and experience. Others consider happiness, or the lack thereof, to be a faceted reflection of the arrangements in society. All recognize the potential power of human happiness, where a distant memory, fleeting experience, or idealized vision can serve as a driving force in trans…
Perceptions, not illustrations, of Sefrou, Morocco
In 1969, photographer Paul Hyman spent over four months in the Sefrou region of Morocco at the invitation of anthropologist Paul Rabinow. Sixty-four of his black-and-white photos were selected for the insert in the 1979 publication on Sefrou authored by Clifford Geertz, Hildred Geertz, and Lawrence Rosen, Meaning and order in Moroccan society. Geertz described Hyman's work as ‘visual notations,’ and Hyman as ‘a professional photographer rather th…
Introduction to Clifford Geertz in Morocco
A very brief conclusion would be to sort of address the question that is a subject of mine: Why Sefrou? Why anthropology? Why me? I'll do this slightly autobiographical.... I came here in the mid-sixties after having worked in Indonesia. I wanted to get a comparison case; I wanted to see. If you work too long in one place you do begin to see everything in terms of it and that's a dangerous business, whether it's seeing all of Morocco in terms of …
