Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are relations between minorities and the police in France so fraught? Stripping away the myth that this tension is a sudden and recent disruption of its universalist republican tradition brought on by the presence of North African immigrants, Amit Prakash locates the origins of contemporary conflicts in race and empire in France's history. In Empire on the Seine, Prakash argues that the métropole and the colony dynamically co-developed a policing regime over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to manage colonial and racial difference. With the North African community emerging as a sizable and durable presence in Paris after World War I, this policing became a key state practice in imagining and administering the immigrant population. Prakash shows that despite the French state's current reluctance to use race as an official category, racial thought and racial targets animated police services, social services, and urban planning schemes from the 1920s until the 1970s. Using police archival records, reports from colonial officials, urban planning and housing studies, and the records of French social workers and immigrant associations, Prakash shows that colonial racism was integrated into the policing of Paris and that architecture, urbanism, and social housing assumed police functions for colonial and postcolonial migrants. In light of this history, contemporary social and racial segregation, periodic protests and rioting against police violence, and the aggressive posture of the Parisian police emerge as the material traces of French colonialism in the métropole. The city of Paris was the capital of an empire and its imperial shadows are long.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au moment de sa démobilisation, après les douloureux événements qui endeuillèrent le Constantinois, la vie politique algérienne prend un tournant décisif. Nous le trouvons alors responsable local du P.P.A. à Bordj-bou-Arreridj, puis en 1946 responsable de la région englobant l’arrondissement de Sétif. Fin 1947, il est chargé par le P.P.A.-M.T.L.D. de mettre sur pied l’organisation naissante de l’O.S. (organisation spéciale paramilitaire) dans l’ex-département de Constantine. Là, il a sous ses ordres le noyau qui fut à l’origine du déclenchement du 1er novembre 1954 dont Ben M’hidi, Didouche, Ben Boulaid et Bitat. Recherché en 1950 pour « atteinte à la Sûreté de l’État » il échappe aux recherches et est condamné par défaut, une première fois à Bône à huit ans d’emprisonnement ; une seconde fois, à Blida, à dix ans de la même peine. Jusqu’en 1954, il vit clandestinement. De juin 1953 à février 1954, il est chargé de l’organisation de la Fédération de France du M.T.L.D. En mars 1954, il forme le C.R.U.A. et est élu, en mai de la même année, par la réunion des Vingt-Deux (qui fut à la base de la décision de prendre les armes contre le colonialisme) responsable national du premier Comité Révolutionnaire dont les membres furent désignés par lui-même. Il quitte l’Algérie le 26 octobre 1954, chargé de rejoindre la délégation extérieure au sein de laquelle il assume la responsabilité politico-militaire de l’Ouest (Espagne et Maroc). Le 22 octobre 1956, il est arrêté lors de l’arraisonnement de l’avion de Rabat et reste emprisonné jusqu’au 19 mars 1962. Mohamed Boudiaf fut membre de tous les C.N.R.A., et à titre honorifique du C.C.E., ministre d’État dans les deux premiers G.P.R.A. et vice-président au sein du troisième. Lors de la réunion de Tripoli en mai 1962, il refuse de faire partie du Bureau Politique et quitte cette réunion après avoir remis une lettre motivant son départ, au bureau de la session et une procuration à Ait Ahmed. De retour en Algérie, il s’oppose au groupe de Tlemcen et rejoint Tizi Ouzou en juillet 1962. Cet épisode prend fin avec le compromis du 2 août 1962, qui voit l’entrée de Boudiaf au « Bureau Politique ». Il en démissionne quelques semaines après en refusant de s’associer à l’appel à l’affrontement armé. Il refuse, de même, le mandat de député à la première assemblée nationale. Il explique alors les raisons de son opposition au régime. Ce sont ses positions politiques qui lui valent son dernier enlèvement, le 21 juin 1963, et la séquestration qui est à l’origine du présent ouvrage.

Book Torture and the Twilight of Empire

Download or read book Torture and the Twilight of Empire written by Marnia Lazreg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torture and the Twilight of Empire looks at the intimate relationship between torture and colonial domination through a close examination of the French army's coercive tactics during the Algerian war from 1954 to 1962. By tracing the psychological, cultural, and political meanings of torture at the end of the French empire, Marnia Lazreg also sheds new light on the United States and its recourse to torture in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book is nothing less than an anatomy of torture--its methods, justifications, functions, and consequences. Drawing extensively from archives, confessions by former torturers, interviews with former soldiers, and war diaries, as well as writings by Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and others, Lazreg argues that occupying nations justify their systematic use of torture as a regrettable but necessary means of saving Western civilization from those who challenge their rule. She shows how torture was central to guerre révolutionnaire, a French theory of modern warfare that called for total war against the subject population and which informed a pacification strategy founded on brutal psychological techniques borrowed from totalitarian movements. Lazreg seeks to understand torture's impact on the Algerian population--especially women--and also on the French troops who became their torturers. She explores the roles Christianity and Islam played in rationalizing these acts, and the ways in which torture became not only routine but even acceptable. Written by a preeminent historical sociologist, Torture and the Twilight of Empire holds particularly disturbing lessons for us today as we carry out the War on Terror.

Book excerpt: After over 120 years of French colonial rule in Algeria, the growing aspirations for independence culminated in the Algerian Revolution of 1954, which lasted until 1962. In order to combat the uprisings, the French civilian and military authorities reorganised the entire territory of the country, swiftly erected new infrastructures and pursued building policies that were ultimately intended to stabilize French dominance in Algeria.The study describes the architectural responses undertaken in the midst of this protracted and bloody armed conflict.

Book A Diplomatic Revolution

    Book Details:
  • Author : Matthew Connelly
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2002-04-11
  • ISBN : 0199881804
  • Pages : 427 pages

Download or read book A Diplomatic Revolution written by Matthew Connelly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-11 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algeria sits at the crossroads of the Atlantic, European, Arab, and African worlds. Yet, unlike the wars in Korea and Vietnam, Algeria's fight for independence has rarely been viewed as an international conflict. Even forty years later, it is remembered as the scene of a national drama that culminated with Charles de Gaulle's decision to "grant" Algerians their independence despite assassination attempts, mutinies, and settler insurrection. Yet, as Matthew Connelly demonstrates, the war the Algerians fought occupied a world stage, one in which the U.S. and the USSR, Israel and Egypt, Great Britain, Germany, and China all played key roles. Recognizing the futility of confronting France in a purely military struggle, the Front de Libération Nationale instead sought to exploit the Cold War competition and regional rivalries, the spread of mass communications and emigrant communities, and the proliferation of international and non-governmental organizations. By harnessing the forces of nascent globalization they divided France internally and isolated it from the world community. And, by winning rights and recognition as Algeria's legitimate rulers without actually liberating the national territory, they rewrote the rules of international relations. Based on research spanning three continents and including, for the first time, the rebels' own archives, this study offers a landmark reevaluation of one of the great anti-colonial struggles as well as a model of the new international history. It will appeal to historians of post-colonial studies, twentieth-century diplomacy, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. A Diplomatic Revolution was winner of the 2003 Stuart L. Bernath Prize of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and the Akira Iriye International History Book Award, The Foundation for Pacific Quest.

Book Confronting the Unconventional

Download or read book Confronting the Unconventional written by David Tucker and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there limits to military transformation? Or, if it seems obvious that there must be limits to transformation, what are they exactly, why do they arise, and how can we identify them so that we may better accomplish the transformation that the U.S. military is capable of? If limits to military change and transformation exist, what are the broader implications for national policy and strategy? The author offers some answers to these questions by analyzing the efforts of the French, British, and Americans to deal with irregular threats after World War II.

Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.
