The Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought
A new history of French social thought that connects postwar sociology to colonialism and empire In this provocative and original retelling of the history of French social thought, George Steinmetz places the history and development of modern French sociology in the context of the French empire after World War II. Connecting the rise of all the social sciences with efforts by France and other imperial powers to consolidate control over their crisis-ridden colonies, Steinmetz argues that colonial research represented a crucial core of the renascent academic discipline of sociology, especially between the late 1930s and the 1960s. Sociologists, who became favored partners of colonial governmen...
Les Usages du patrimoine
Qu'est-ce que le patrimoine dans une société en quête de repères ? Quel passé celle-ci choisit-elle de privilégier dans sa lecture de l'histoire ? Dans le cas de l'Algérie, la notion de patrimoine accompagne un mouvement d'appropriation et d'identification où la sélection des objets et leur conservation jouent un rôle essentiel. L’auteur nous convie à suivre ce mouvement, depuis le premier sentiment à l'origine d'une conscience patrimoniale jusqu’à cette “Algérie latine” qu'exalte le moment du Centenaire, commémorant la conquête à grand renfort de manifestations, tandis que les revendications politiques qu'expriment les nouvelles élites autochtones, formées en majorité à l'école républicaine, présagent le déclin du temps colonial. La question du patrimoine en Algérie a toujours été un facteur d'échanges, de négociations, mais aussi de tensions entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée. Elle nous donne aujourd'hui l'occasion de reconsidérer, en même temps que le passé colonial de la France, le passé français de l'Algérie.

A History of the Maghrib in the Islamic Period
Building on the two previous editions of his History of the Maghrib, Professor Abun-Nasr has written a completely new history of North Africa within the Islamic period which begins with the Arab conquest and brings the story up to the present day. He emphasises the factors which led to the adoption of Islam by practically the entire population, the geographical position of the area, which made it the main trade link between the Mediterranean world and the Sudan and led to its involvement in the confrontation between the Christian and Islamic worlds. In Morocco, this confrontation led to the emergence of a distinct religio-political community ruled by sharifian dynasties and, in the rest of the Maghrib, to integration in the Ottoman empire. The political and economic developments of the 'piratical' regencies of Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, the establishment of European colonial rule, the nationalist movements and Islamic religious reform are all treated in detail. The balance between factual account and interpretation makes the book especially useful to students of African and Islamic history.
