Equality in inequality: Social benefits for North African Muslim soldiers in the French Army during the Great War (1914-1918)
In 1914–1918, almost 300,000 indigenous people were mobilised in North Africa to fight in France. In November 1915, the Minister of War proposed granting them French citizenship. His initiative favoured an influx of soldiers into the army and sparked heated discussions about modifying the colonial policy, which was based on unequal access of French and the native population to political rights. The colonial party eventually blocked the proposal a…
A Failed Acculturation-by-Naturalisation Experiment. The néo-français in Tunisia under the French Protectorate
This article addresses the issues of intercultural contacts and presents historical experiences that relate to contemporary phenomena of the increased flow of migration. The relationship between acculturation and naturalisation and the concepts of integration of colonial peoples with France during the Third French Republic and the colonial empire have been examined. These concepts assumed integration through acculturation and assimilation, and th…
We are not them! Self-presentation of North African Muslim soldiers in the German captivity in 1914–1918
During 1914–1918, the French Army deployed almost 270,000 Muslims from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. As early as August 1914, the Germans captured the first of them. For the Germans, the POWs were Muslims who should show solidarity with Muslim Ottoman Empire and, therefore, join the Turkish Army. Such stigmatization of the captives’ identity provoked unexpected reactions. Some prisoners declared that ties linking them with the territory in North …
Limited trust and its roots: The attitude of French military and political officials toward North African soldiers during the Great War (1914–1918)
In 1914–1918, 294,000 indigenous people were mobilized in North Africa and sent to the European front. Nearly 45,000 of them were killed or missing in action. This article examines the attitude of the French toward their North African soldiers and tries to explain why in the face of copious evidence of North African loyalty, the appreciation of courage and sacrifice in the fight against Germany was accompanied by suspicion and uncertainty about t…

Rev. John G. Lansing (1851–1906) on Preaching the Gospel to Muslims
At the turn of the twentieth century, the interest of American Protestant churches in foreign missions increased dramatically. “The evangelization of the world in this generation” became a powerful slogan and a new understanding of the Great Commission or the instruction of the resurrected Jesus Christ to his disciples, was among factors that “revolutionized American missionary movement.” 1 This article presents the views on Islam of Rev. John G.…
In Search of the Supracultural: American Missionaries in the Gulf in 1920s–1930s
This article examines the dynamics of cultural encounters, with reference to the concept of Gustav Warneck (1834–1910) of the connections between mission and culture. It introduces the reader to the personal experience of the missionaries of the Arabian Mission, which was launched in 1889 and operated until 1973 in Basra, Amara, Bahrain, Kuwait and Muscat. While the Mission did not bring about the mass conversion of Muslims, its activities result…
Contesting Enslavement: Voices of the Female Slaves from the Persian Gulf in the 1930s
The article is on slavery in the Persian Gulf, as documented in the official reports of British officials and the slaves' statements made at the British Agencies in the Gulf. Between 1921 and 1946 around 950 slaves applied for manumission. There were almost 280 women among the applicants and data from their statements refer to the position of slave women in the local societies during the critical time of a socio-economic crisis in the 1930s. Who …
The Right to Manumit and British Relations with Ibn Saud and Persia in the 1920s
Abolitionism as a humanitarian trend at the height of the colonial period was a great intellectual achievement by the European civilization. But the process of making Asian and African people and the right to manumit slaves exercised by Europeans also was a part of complex colonial policy and combined moral assumptions with political and economic interests. This article aims to show how the right to manumit became an important issue in British Im…
Political Change in the Arab Gulf States: Stuck in Transition
Although reform movements have been prominent in varying degrees in most Middle Eastern countries for some time, the recent cascade of events has generated new pressures for democratization throughout the Arab World. Political Change in the Arab Gulf States explores the politics influencing the volatile situation in the region, as well as specific measures devised by regimes in power to adjust to the challenges of the current environment. The aut…
The Manumission Movement in the Gulf in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
Between 1906 and 1949, more than 950 slaves reported at the British agencies in Bahrain, Kuwait, Muscat, and Sharjah and asked for manumission. Their written statements prove that slavery was an important part of the local socio-economic system and that many slaves had for generations been bound with the same families of owners. The manumission movement was caused mainly by the collapse of the pearl industry in the Gulf in the 1920s and 1930s, bu…
