The Native Is Indeed a Born Addict, but So Far He Has Not Yet Found His True Poison”
In 1937, the French psychiatrist Pierre Maréschal presented a paper on “Heroin Abuse in Tunisia,” in which he claimed that all Tunisians were “born addicts,” comparing their allegedly excessive nature with the habits of European addicts. Their predilection toward overconsumption was explained through the theory of a “primitive mentality” shared by all North Africans, proposed by the psychiatric École d’Alger. Many colonial psychiatric sources cla…
A Drinking Problem
Until the establishment of psychiatric institutions in the colonial Maghreb in the 1930s, the consensus of most colonial French psychiatrists was that alcoholism had previously been unknown amongst Muslim North Africans, but that it was quickly becoming a medical, social and economic problem. They voiced fears of an explosion in numbers of psychiatric patients due to this increase in alcoholism and a corresponding increase in crimes committed by …
Too spicy for the French
De nombreux médecins et psychiatres français ont supposé que les épices, la sexualité et les dangers de la masculinité 'primitive' étaient intrinsèquement liés dans le Maghreb colonial. Ils rapportaient régulièrement que la nourriture maghrébine était insupportablement épicée et, par conséquent, la cuisine locale était souvent jugée inappropriée aux palais européens. Les médecins et psychiatres soupçonnaient souvent que le piquant de leur nourrit…
Without Coffee, Our Algeria Would Be Uninhabitable
French colonial doctors writing about nineteenth century Algeria portrayed coffee as a hygienic drink, which protected and stimulated French soldiers and settlers in the hostile climate. Doctors therefore advocated the distribution of coffee to soldiers because it was seen as advantageous to France’s colonisation of the region. By contrast, when Algerian Muslims drank coffee, they were described in the same source material as lethargic and overly…
It Is Only Gazouz
French authors in the nineteenth century assumed that before the colonial conquest of the Maghreb, all Muslims in the region had abstained from alcohol. As a consequence, they were both surprised at and fascinated by the alcohol consumption of the colonised Muslims in the Maghreb, which they interpreted as an irreversible break with Islam (i.e. turning drinkers into apostates) and a necessary consequence of the spread of French colonialism. Some …
Racializing “Oriental” Manliness
We propose a co-authored, interdisciplinary paper examining the durability of Islamophobic stereotypes connected to men from the MENA region and their specific forms of “manliness”. We argue that European notions of “Oriental” manliness — covering all ethnic and religious groups from this region — were strangely homogenized and static: the colonized “Oriental” manliness was constructed as the “primitive” counterpart to an idealized form of Europe…
