  • Le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique du Nord représentent des cas classiques de régions où, avant l'époque contemporaine, les classes dirigeantes préféraient bâtir leur fortune sur les impôts, la rente foncière ou le commerce plutôt que sur la production agricole. L'Algérie ne fait pas exception. Tirer profit du dry-farming était trop risqué dans un climat à pluviométrie irrégulière et l'agriculture irriguée avait des rendements si élevés qu'il n'était pas évident que la mise en valeur directe par la classe dirigeante fut plus avantageuse que la taxation des producteurs indépendants. Avec la colonisation française au xixe siècle, l'Algérie devient un pays où des entrepreneurs ruraux font leur apparition. Mais, comme on sait, ils constituent un groupe sous l'égide de l'élément capitaliste de la classe dirigeante française plutôt qu'une couche supérieure indigène.

  • ‘If one seriously wanted to prepare the tribes for assimilation with France instead of reconstituting the government of Arabs by Arabs, would it not be wise to disorganize them, to multiply the little sheikhs and to replace the big leaders with French officers…?’ This candid question was asked by a French colon in 1847 shortly before the surrender of ‘Abd al-Qadir Ibn Mahi ad-Din, the most formidable Arab leader opposing the French establishment in Algeria. The question reflects the increasing impatience, self-confidence, and, one is forced to add, arrogance of the French colonialists. After many years of struggling against a largely indifferent French Chamber the colons had finally become a sizable and vociferous minority which could command a hearing in the halls of the Monarchie du Juillet.
