Sex, Law and Sovereignty in French Algeria, 1830–1930
Judith Surkis’s extraordinary book accomplishes several things at once. First, and most centrally, it demonstrates the ways that presumptions about sex and sexuality served as an organizing principle for the elaboration of civil law in French Algeria during the first century after the conquest. This argument has important implications for our understanding of the ways that particular ideas about family and sexuality have historically been baked i…
À chacun son public
Dans les années 1930, les Algériens participèrent à un grand débat sur la réforme électorale. Au même moment, un nouveau théâtre explorait le cadre des relations entre les citoyens français et les colonisés musulmans. Ces spectacles évoquaient les rapports entre les Nord-Africains et l’État colonial, entre les femmes « européennes » et les hommes « musulmans ». Ils témoignaient également des effets de la culture « européenne » sur les modes de vi…
Constantine before the riots of August 1934
The anti-Semitic riots of 3–5 August 1934 in Constantine should be understood both as a long-term result of the colonial order's civic exclusions, and against the background of shifts in local politics following the 1919 reforms of the electoral process. After these reforms, Jewish citizens and Muslim colonial subjects found that the terms of their inclusion in the political process drove them into different alliances with the colonial state and …
Antisémitisme et situation coloniale pendant l'entre-deux-guerres en Algérie
Les émeutes antisémites en août 1934 à Constantine découlent d'une dynamique de politique locale, introduite par la tentative du régime colonial français d'offrir une forme limitée de citoyenneté politique aux sujets coloniaux musulmans d'Algérie dans les années qui suivirent la Premier Guerre mondiale. La conséquence de ces réformes fut de renforcer les tendances locales à penser aux intérêts politiques et sociaux en termes ethno-religieux, et d…

Remembering the Battle of Paris
Kader was there on 17 October 1961—at the Madeleine metro station at about 6:30 in the evening. He was also there at the Palais des Sports three days after the demonstration, and for 33 days at the police department’s Identification Center at Vincennes. In 1981, when Kader gave this testimony to Libération, he was still “there”—in France—living in the same worker’s dormitory that had been his home in 1961. After being held in a camp in Algeria, h…
The Power of Large Numbers
French government officials have long been known among Europeans for the special attention they give to the state of their population. In the first half of the nineteenth century, as Paris doubled in size and twice suffered the convulsions of popular revolution, civic leaders looked with alarm at what they deemed a dangerous population explosion. After defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, however, the falling birthrate generated widespread …
A Sudden and Terrible Revelation
In 1874, legislators in France passed a law regulating the wet-nursing industry. Citing recent medical research into the causes and social costs of high infant mortality, the law's supporters met little opposition, despite the fact that the law challenged the tradition of paternal authority and familial autonomy that had been inscribed in French law since the promulgation of the Civil Code of 1804. Extending state power into the familial realm re…
