Laurent-Charles Féraud's Annales Tripolitaines remained for a long time in the obscure corners of libraries. This critical reissue intends to give this text all the visibility it deserves. The work of one of the greatest connoisseurs of the Maghreb, they constitute a major source of information not only on France's aims in Tripolitania (present-day Libya), an Ottoman province which long escaped European colonization before falling between the hands of the Italians in 1911, but also on the history of this province. Féraud was the most effective product of the French military administration in the service of its strategic aims: a man in the field coupled with a scholar, a man with great linguistic knowledge coupled with a skillful diplomat. Published posthumously by Augustin Bernard, the Annales Tripolitaines had been largely inaccessible for decades. However, they deserve wide distribution, offering both valuable knowledge of the ancient Maghreb and an implicit chronicle of French colonial expansion. They also complete the panorama of the writings of Laurent-Charles Féraud, in which the Annales are often forgotten in favor of writings on Algeria. The Annals are more than a "monograph" which would simply bring together a multitude of information on the region from the Arab conquest in 642 until the end of the 19th century: they are also a living work, invested with the passion of 'historian. Certainly this passion is at the service of the colonial cause, but we must recognize the company's quality of erudition and its great sensitivity to the Tripolitan soul. Major work of this 19th century scholar, who knew and traveled the Maghreb throughout his life, from the Atlantic to Cyrenaica, and from the Mediterranean to the Sahara, in a crucial period of its history, between the 1840s and the 1880s, the Annals shed valuable and unique light not only on a little-known geographical horizon, but also on the history of the Maghreb in general, between the Ottoman period and the era of colonization.

"Covering a period from the late eighteenth century to today, this volume explores the phenomenon of urban violence in order to unveil general developments and historical specificities in a variety of Middle Eastern contexts. By situating incidents in particular processes and conflicts, the case studies seek to counter notions of a violent Middle East in order to foster a new understanding of violence beyond that of a meaningless and destructive social and political act. Contributions explore processes sparked by the transition from empires--Ottoman and Qajar, but also European--to the formation of nation states, and the resulting changes in cityscapes throughout the region"--Provided by publisher.

On sait à quel point la question des langues est aujourd'hui cruciale au Maghreb, où elle exprime à la fois l'enjeu présent du pluralisme, dans toutes ses dimensions, et celui de l'héritage colonial, toujours lancinant, dans un moment où les rapports à l'Europe revêtent une particulière acuité. On connaît moins les racines historiques de ces questions et des débats qu'ils suscitent, toujours traités à l'aune de situations contemporaines. Cet ouvrage collectif fait le point sur l'état le plus récent de ces problèmes et de ces débats, tout en analysant les processus historiques qui ont conduit à ce rapport si douloureux et conflictuel à la langue ; il met en évidence les multiples configurations linguistiques, aujourd'hui oubliées, voire occultées, qui ont produit l'actuel paysage linguistique maghrébin. Les auteurs restituent ainsi au Maghreb sa pleine diversité linguistique en interrogeant de manière critique sur les divers registres de langues qu'il a connus depuis l'Antiquité, mais aussi sur l'antériorité historique de certaines questions de fond telles que les politiques linguistiques, le multilinguisme ou la diglossie... Replacées dans le cadre d'une Méditerranée occidentale au sens large, croisant l'histoire et la linguistique dans une constante confrontation entre passé et présent, ces études pacifient ainsi le rapport des Maghrébins à leurs langues, sans pour autant occulter le caractère éminemment conflictuel des problématiques du métissage et de la souveraineté par la langue.
