The Environment and World History
Since around 1500 C.E., humans have shaped the global environment in ways that were previously unimaginable. Bringing together leading environmental historians and world historians, this book offers an overview of global environmental history throughout this remarkable 500-year period. In eleven essays, the contributors examine the connections between environmental change and other major topics of early modern and modern world history: population…

Reflections on the Revolution in France
The most enduring work of its time, Reflections on the Revolution in France was written in 1790 and has remained in print ever since. Edmund Burke’s analysis of revolutionary change established him as the chief framer of modern European conservative political thought. This outstanding new edition of the Reflections presents Burke’s famous text along with a historical introduction by Frank M. Turner and four lively critical essays by leading schol…

Climate Change and World History
Until recently world history has been written as if climate was of little importance in shaping specific outcomes. Indeed, even when historians know that climate cycles are important agents in shaping the choices available to human actors, their fear of being labeled environmentally determinist“ ” has encouraged them to disregard the role of climate. ith growing consciouW s-ness of global warming, interest in the role of climate in human history …
Fanny Colonna (1934–2014)
Fanny Reynaud Colonna was born in 1934 in El Milia in eastern Algeria, the daughter of a French civil administrator who made sure she learned Arabic. She died on 18 November 2014 in Paris at the age of eighty. Widely regarded as the foremost sociologist/anthropologist of Algeria of her generation, Fanny's life and publications were devoted to raising inconvenient questions about the colonial fact and its contemporary afterlife
Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful
Reflections on the Revolution in France
Regarded as a founder of modern conservatism, Edmund Burke (1729–97) proved an influential yet controversial writer and politician. Although sympathetic towards American colonists in their grievances against British rule, he was later appalled as the French Revolution unfolded. Published in 1790, when the Revolution was still young, this is Burke's most well-known work and remains a classic of Western political thought and rhetoric. He predicts t…

Colonial experience and territorial practices
Pastoral transhumants, like the thamazight-speaking Berbers of the Middle Atlas Mountains in Morocco, were especially sensitive to the changes that affected the Middle East and North Africa in the nineteenth century. With one foot in the world of nomadism and the other in sedentary agriculture, they were racked by conflicting tensions. The Aith Ndhir of central Morocco were more exposed than many neighboring groups to these contradictory pulls, s…

Wanted
There is something seriously flawed about models of social change that posit the dominant role of in-built civilizational motors. While “the rise of the West” makes great ideology, it is poor history. Like Jared Diamond, I believe that we need to situate the fate of nations in a long-term ecohistorical context. Unlike Diamond, I believe that the ways (and the sequences) in which things happened mattered deeply to what came next. The Mediterranean…
Discurso aos eleitores de Bristol
Em termos de Teoria Política, o "Discurso" apresenta a concepção que Edmund Burke tinha da representação política, ou seja, das relações entre os representantes eleitos e seus eleitores. Burke rejeitava o mandato de tipo "imperativo", em que o representante apenas ouviria as propostas e as demandas locais, feitas por seus eleitores, e reproduzi-las-ia no parlamento: seria, assim, mais um porta-voz com direito a voto que um político em busca do be…
Environmental imaginaries of the Middle East and North Africa
The landscapes of the Middle East have captured our imaginations throughout history. Images of endless golden dunes, camel caravans, isolated desert oases, and rivers lined with palm trees have often framed written and visual representations of the region. Embedded in these portrayals is the common belief that the environment, in most places, has been deforested and desertified by centuries of misuse. It is precisely such orientalist environmenta…
Environmental Imaginaries of the Middle East and North Africa
The modernist fables that underlie the developmentalist states of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have only recently begun to attract the attention of scholars in their own right.As French and British colonial fantasies of recovering the supposed agricultural productivity of Roman North Africa have given way to the similarly delusional dreams of experts who have sought to modernize postcolonial states in the region, the subject of their u…

Prelude to Protectorate in Morocco
The Creation of the Moroccan Colonial Archive, 1880-1930
In 1900, France possessed little reliable ethnographic knowledge about Morocco other than elite gossip and anecdotal details. Thirty years later, an extensive colonial archive on Moroccan society had been compiled. This article explores the origins of the Moroccan colonial archive and traces its connections to the French experience in Algeria. It surveys its chief publications, including the Archives marocaines, Archives berbères, and Villes et t…
Rethinking the Historical Genealogy ofOrientalism
The publication of Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978 Said, E. 1978. Orientalism, New York: Random House. [Google Scholar]) marked a paradigm shift in thinking about the relationship between the West and the non‐West. Said coupled his critique of European discourse on the Middle East to issues of representation generally, demonstrating that Western discourse on the Middle East was linked to power, trafficked in racist stereotypes and continually rep…
Pan-Islam and Moroccan resistance to French colonial penetration, 1900–1912
This article marks a beginning at tracing the links between Near Eastern and African Islamic resistance, through an analysis of the ways in which Pan-Islamic agents from Egypt sought to intervene in support of indigenous Moroccan efforts to resist French imperialism during the period 1900 to 1912. The first section explores the general patterns of Pan-Islamic ideology and political action, and places the study of Pan-Islam in the context of studi…
Morocco and the near East
The comparative sociological study of the countries of the Middle Eastern culture area for the nineteenth century can scarcely be said to have begun. But such studies can do much to help us come to a more precise estimate of the functions which particular institutions might fill, and the weight they could be required to bear in different parts of the Middle East during the critical period of the onset of modernization. It is the purpose of this a…

A comparative view of French native policy in Morocco and Syria, 1912–1925
The present paper seeks to trace the origin of French native policy in Syria, as a case study in the changing style of European imperialism in the Mediterranean in the twentieth century.' It will deal with the little-understood impact of North Africa upon French policy in Syria and Lebanon during the early mandate period, 1920-25, especially the Gouraud years, 1920-23. Specifically, it will be argued that French policy in Syria was very strongly …

Towards a history of the Maghrib
The historical study of North Africa has until quite recently been an almost exclusively French preserve. The few English-speaking historians who ventured to deal with the Maghrib did so at their peril, always vulnerable to criticism for not having sufficiently mastered the enormous French literature. For the most part, however, English-speakers preferred to confine their attentions to the Near Eastern heartland. To a large extent this situation …
Lyautey and the French Conquest of Morocco
Explaining Social Movements in Two Oil-Exporting States
If one were to survey social movements in the last decade that were inextricably linked to global socioeconomic processes, the significant social movements that have emerged in Islamic oil-producing countries could hardly escape notice. Since nine oil-exporting states possess Muslim majorities, there appears to be an objective relationship between the global consequences of the post-1973 oil-price revolution and the socioeconomic transformation o…

Pastoralism and the Mediterranean Environment
The environmental history of the post-1500 Mediterranean (including the Middle East) has the potential to add significantly to our understanding of the history of the region. However, this is only if it is understood as a perspective (and not just a new specialization) that has the power to transform how we view familiar subjects. A ghettoized environmental history takes us nowhere nor do environmental histories that claim to explain everything. …
France and the Classical Sociology of Islam, 1798-1962
The classical French sociology of Islam was shaped by the arc of French imperialism in the long nineteenth century, beginning with the French expedition to Egypt in 1798 and ending in 1962 with the independence of Algeria. While its legacy can be understood as part of the discursive machinery best described by Edward Said, it was also part of the history of modern French social thought. The aim of this article is to explore the complex patterns o…
