  Histoire de l’Algérie coloniale

  Longue durée et désenclavement

  Historians have long focused on the independence war, and this has given rise to a rich historiography. Consequently, the longer term colonial period was less extensively explored. However, recent historiography shows that new ground has been broken. It is perhaps now time to pause and reflect on the historiography. The purpose of this conference is two-fold: firstly, can we have a better understanding of the colonization of Algeria in the longue durée, beyond the traditional focus on periods of conflict? The second aim is to take the history of Algeria out of its isolation and place it instead within the broader picture of imperial history – whether in relation to hexagonal France or the other French colonies.
