Cereal Silo-pits, Agro-pastoral Practices and Social Organisation in 19th Century Algeria
Quantifiable, spatially-resolved, large-scale evidence about traditional food storage facilities is extremely rare, and yet highly insightful for researchers across subjects such as human ecology, anthropology, agronomy, archaeology and economic history. This paper takes advantage of some unusually detailed French colonial era records of cereal storage and agro-pastoral practice in 19th century central Algeria that inventory the underground food …
Historical (f)actors
Despite the rise in environmental thinking and environmental questions throughout the humanities—what some people call the “environmental turn”—environmental history has remained marginal to the field of North African history. This article explores the field of environmental history of North Africa in order to think through some potential ways to address this lacuna. The article does this by first providing a brief overview of the field of enviro…
The imperialism of French decolonisation
Believe in the Border, or, How to Make Modernity in the Nineteenth-Century Maghrib
The Algerian-Tunisian frontier zone was much contested in the late nineteenth century, defying the logic of modernity that sought to establish territoriality. This modernity appeared only through an imbrication of raids, warfare, environmental shifts, and competing territorial claims. The violence of the territorial process, the changing geography of sovereignty, and uncertain frontier delimitation: these and other elements challenge the image of…
Massacres and Modernities
In the spring of 1869, after years of environmental disaster, a caravan of Hammama (Tunisian) merchants crossed into Nememcha (Algerian) territory to buy grain at market. A faction of Nememcha cavaliers slaughtered them, possibly under the direction of the French Arab Bureau. The “Scandal of the Oued Mahouïne” has many interesting aspects; this article considers why the massacre was not carried out by Ahmed Lakhdar. Head of a Nememcha faction, La…
Saharan Jews and the Fate of French Algeria
In Saharan Jews, Sarah Abrevaya Stein compellingly explores how colonial law created a special, often contradictory and problematic, southern-Algerian Jewish identity from the late-nineteenth centu
Water mania
This article explores the confluence of water crisis and social-political power in the 1860s in Algeria. An unprecedented series of environmental events – ongoing drought, locust invasion, the outbreak of epidemic disease – conspired with the privations of three decades of colonial rule to kill around 800,000 people between 1865 and 1870. This crisis was the impetus for a reconfiguration of the practice and discourse of water control and hygiene …
Imperial Thirst
“Water,” wrote the mayor’s council late in the nineteenth century, “is the only thing holding Algiers back from expanding its glory as the queen of African cities.” Paris uses 240 liters of water per person per day, it reported; New York, Philadelphia and Chicago 400 liters. Algiers could only muster a meager 60 liters per day per person, far below the levels necessary to feed a population, fill wells, and scrub a city of its toxins. For over hal…
