Book excerpt: Excerpt from Algeria: The Topography and History, Political, Social, and Natural of French Africa Africa, the land of mysterious memories and monstrous realities, the progenitor of pyramids, baobab-trees, negroes and boas, lies now between two fires. The rattle of Mini 6 rifles is beginning to be heard at the Cape, and its echo resounds from the Atlas. Kabyles and Kaffirs are measuring their strength with France and England, and the issue cannot be doubtful. Having once tasted the sweets of conquest, neither of the two great Western Powers will be disposed to resign them in a hurry. Rather may we look to their grasping at their neighbours goods, till some fine day finds French sentinels fraternising with the. Cape corps on the Niger, and the Mountains of the Moon surveyed by ktdands de Paris and honest cockneys. As to the advantages derivable from European colonies in Africa, South or North, they are yet a matter of expectation. Hitherto the modems have certainly suffered more and done less than the Romans in African campaigns. Algeria, the granary of Rome, has been the grave of the French soldier; and yet a nursery for a goodly crop of iron men of the Changarnier stamp, who have done brave service in the streets ol Paris. The French Bfgency may be looked ux nas an issue to relieve the apoplectic symptoms of the mother country, and a drain for her floating capital; but as to any positive returns derived by France for her outlay in that quarter, we confess ourselves unable to discover them, except in the shape of cotton and the above African chiefs, who have sharpened their wits and whetted their swords, as well as their appetite for slaughter, in Algerian razzias. That the future will show better things, is our firm belief. Algeria and Morocco, under an enlightened sway, and pacified, might in all probability yield glorious crops, and afford a noble field for commercial speculation. Noris the day probably very distant when Cape Madeira and other Cape liquids, as well as solids, will find their way in great abundance into the English market.

Download or read book Algeria and France written by Dorothy Pickles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning as a small, seemingly insignificant rebellion in 1954, the Algerian struggle for independence assumed such proportions that it strangled France’s foreign policy, threatened her international relations, poisoned the political atmosphere, and toppled one government after another. In this book, first published in 1963, a specialist on French affairs assesses the impact on France of the Algerian problem, the various attempts to solve that problem, and the implications of the solution finally found. It is a study of conflict, a careful consideration of the interaction between internal politics and a peculiarly difficult external problem – and, most of all, an objective and lucid presentation of the essential elements of a tragic episode in French history.
Download or read book Algeria 1830 2000 written by Benjamin Stora and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A particularly vicious and bloody civil war has racked Algeria for a decade. Amnesty International notes that since 1992, in a population of 28 million, 80,000 people have been reported killed, and the actual total is almost certainly higher. This terrible war overshadows Algeria's long and complex history and its prominence on the world economic stage--second in size among African nations, Algeria has the longest Mediterranean coastline and contains the world's fifth-largest natural gas reserves. Algeria, 1830-2000 is a comprehensive narrative history of the country. Benjamin Stora, widely recognized as the leading expert on Algeria, presents the story of this turbulent area from the start of formal French colonialism in the early nineteenth century, through the prolonged war for independence in the latter 1950s, to the internal strife of the present day. This book adapts and updates three short volumes published originally in French by La Découverte. For this English edition, Stora has written a new introductory chapter on Algeria's colonial period (1830-1954) and has revised the final section to bring the volume up to date.
Download or read book By Sword and Plow written by Jennifer E. Sessions and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1830, with France's colonial empire in ruins, Charles X ordered his army to invade Ottoman Algiers. Victory did not salvage his regime from revolution, but it began the French conquest of Algeria, which was continued and consolidated by the succeeding July Monarchy. In By Sword and Plow, Jennifer E. Sessions explains why France chose first to conquer Algeria and then to transform it into its only large-scale settler colony. Deftly reconstructing the political culture of mid-nineteenth-century France, she also sheds light on policies whose long-term consequences remain a source of social, cultural, and political tensions in France and its former colony. In Sessions's view, French expansion in North Africa was rooted in contests over sovereignty and male citizenship in the wake of the Atlantic revolutions of the eighteenth century. The French monarchy embraced warfare as a means to legitimize new forms of rule, incorporating the Algerian army into royal iconography and public festivals. Colorful broadsides, songs, and plays depicted the men of the Armée d'Afrique as citizen soldiers. Social reformers and colonial theorists formulated plans to settle Algeria with European emigrants. The propaganda used to recruit settlers featured imagery celebrating Algeria's agricultural potential, but the male emigrants who responded were primarily poor, urban laborers who saw the colony as a place to exercise what they saw as their right to work. Generously illustrated with examples of this imperialist iconography, Sessions's work connects a wide-ranging culture of empire to specific policies of colonization during a pivotal period in the genesis of modern France.
