Dilemmas of desert survival in an age of imperialism
Algiers under Ottoman rule contained an elaborate system of barrani (literally ‘foreigner’) corporations whose members were united by occupational specialisation and ethnic or racial identity. These corporations managed their affairs semi-autonomously under the leadership of one or several of their members while remaining vulnerable to political authorities who could threaten to withdraw occupational concessions. By the early nineteenth century, …
Islam and State Expansion in Algeria
Tracing historically the interrelated themes of Islam, the state, and community—three central strands in North African history—is a formidable intellectual challenge. The researcher is confronted with an ever-elusive kaleidoscope of Islamic dimensions (faith, values, ritual, practice, law, brotherhood, mysticism), and of state dimensions (boundaries, institutions, resources, norms, identities). These overlapping and shifting images defy attempts …

Muslim peoples in Africa and Asia responded to the challenges o…

The Mīzāb is an Ibādī community consisting of seven cities clustered in an arid rocky region 350 miles south of Algiers. Having established these settlements nearly a millennium ago, the Mīzābīs, as the inhabitants came to be known, struggled against formidable environmental odds and managed not only to survive but to prosper. By the sixteenth century the Mīzāb had become an important northern Saharan market. During the following centuries, the M…
