Desert Edens: Colonial Climate Engineering in the Age of Anxiety
Philipp Lehmann's Desert Edens explores how European scientists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries understood the effects of climate and the role of human design in ecological change. By the late nineteenth century, European scientists had a long tradition of what we would today call “climate science.” Lehmann, however, situates his work in a distinct moment of departure when European climate engineers sought to bring the full f…
Deserts, Capital and 'Civilisation: The Politics of Environmental Naming in Eastern Morocco, 1925-1939
This article investigates an instance of frontier modernisation by focusing on the ways in which the concept of the desert operated in the contemporary imagination; and how descriptive claims over land determined a reform programme that radically interrupted the developmental arc of a region which, owing to its economic, social and environmental liminality, had remained largely insulated against tax collection, census-data gathering, land surveyi…
La crise berbère de 1949. Portrait de deux militants: Ouali Bennaï et Amar Ould-Hamouda. Quelle identité pour l’Algerie
In a life that has spanned nearly a century, the breadth of Abdennour Ali Yahia’s career almost defies belief. He has been a teacher, a militant in the Parti du Peuple Algerien-Mouvement pour le Tr
Aref Abu-Rabia, Indigenous Medicine among the Bedouin in the Middle East
Aref Abu-Rabia’s Indigenous Medicine among the Bedouin in the Middle East is a work of synthesis based on anthropological research on the ‘healing practices, health situation, and environmental and cultural origins of perceptions of disease among Bedouin tribes of the twentieth century’ (p. 1) in the Middle East and North Africa. The book also treats questions of access and the perceived value of state health services in countries with transhuman…
Disaster Ecologies: Land, Peoples and the Colonial Modern in the Gharb, Morocco, 1911-1936
This article investigates the place of communal land and migratory populations in the colonial modernization projects of the Gharb, Morocco. A combination of ethno-environmental myth and an unerring faith in European-style private property played a preponderant role in shaping rural reform. Bound by international law to uphold "traditional" forms of communal, migratory life, French policy-makers instead transformed the land and juridical cultures…
Not a drop for the settlers: Reimagining popular protest and anti-colonial nationalism in the Moroccan Protectorate
This article reevaluates the so-called Meknès water riots of 1937 as a way to understand how rural economic decline and the contest over natural resources during the Protectorate period sparked anti-colonial protest in Morocco. The ‘riots’ have long been considered an early example of Moroccans unifying under the banner of an emergent anti-colonial nationalism. This article argues, however, that the revolt cannot be adequately conceptualised as s…
Racial myth, colonial reform, and the invention of customary law in Morocco, 1912-1930
Throughout the period of French indirect rule in Morocco (1912–56), colonial scholars and administrators generated a mass of literature to explain the perceived differences between Arab and so-called Berber (Amazeeri) societies. In the minds of many colonial enthusiasts, objective ethnic difference translated into a series of clear social, cultural, and political traits that had divided the indigenous populations for centuries. Historians of the …
