Algeria by John Reynell Morell Pdf

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.

Algeria, 1830-2000 by Benjamin Stora Pdf

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.

Algeria and France by Dorothy Pickles Pdf

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.

Historical Dictionary of Algeria by Phillip C. Naylor Pdf

Algeria’s strategic regional and global importance continues to grow. Its hydrocarbon wealth, namely natural gas and oil, is impressive and its receipts are crucial to the national economy. The European Union is a particularly valued hydrocarbon importer and overall commercial partner. The bilateral relationship with France remains problematic and paradoxical. Algeria has demanded an apology for the imposition of colonialism; but it also recognizes the importance of France economically, politically, and militarily, e.g., the unrest in the Sahel (notably Mali). Furthermore, Algeria continues to recover from its recent, tragic civil strife characterized by terrorism and extremism. Its uncertain future, given its ageing leadership, rentier economy, and frustrated youth, is a critical concern. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Algeria covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Algeria.
