By destroying the spatial and temporal frameworks of ordinary existence and reorganizing the life of peasants, the process of uprooting completed what the imperial policy of land confiscation and the spread of monetary exchange had started: the ‘depeasantization’ of agrarian communities stripped of the social and cultural means to make sense of the present and orient themselves to the future. This destruction of the traditional way of life was exacerbated by the quasi-urban conditions of the resettlement shantytowns, which brought about irreversible transformations in economic attitudes at the same time as they accelerated the contagion of needs, plunging the uprooted individuals into a ‘traditionalism of despair’ suited to daily survival in conditions of extreme uncertainty. Through their detailed analysis of these processes Bourdieu and Sayad provide a powerful account both of the destruction of a traditional way of life and of the brutal effects of colonial power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis classic text, now published in English for the first time, will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, politics, migration studies, postcolonial studies and the social sciences and humanities generally, and to anyone concerned with the impact of colonization and its aftermath.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Maps, Diagrams and Tables vii \u003cp\u003eNote on Transcription and Transliteration ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword Loïc Wacquant xii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Forced Resettlement and the Logic of Colonialism 4\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForced resettlement and property laws 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLandless peasants 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTraditionalism of despair 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDisdain and confusion 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Two Histories, Two Societies 15\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcculturation and deculturation 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo exemplary societies: the Collo Massif and the Chélif Valley 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCultural transactions and colonial interventionism 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTypes of authority and types of intervention 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contradictions of colonial ideology and the contradiction of colonialism 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecifics of the study 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Forced Resettlement and the Crisis of Traditional Agriculture 28\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDangers, control, and harassment 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKerkera: objective obstacles 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAïn-Aghbel: effect exceeds cause 32\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDjebabra: partial and elective abandonment 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 The Discovery of Work 38\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmployment and the awareness of unemployment 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExperience of wages and attitudes to work 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe prestige of a \"trade\" (metier) 46\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA widespread attitude 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEconomic attitudes and family traditions 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTime convertible into money 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscovering the scarcity of work 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Tafallahu or the Consummate Peasant 58\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePortrait of the \"naif' 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom naivety to folly 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Peasants of the end of time\" 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Farming Without Farmers 70\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRefusal to admit 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnavowed disavowal 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe alibi and the admission 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe separation 78\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Town-Dwellers Without a Town 82\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom clan to household 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConfronting differences 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe broken group 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom familiarity to anonymity 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe urban situation and peasant values 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpace, time, and values 108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 The Cultural Sabir 116\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoexistence of contraries 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDjeha's nail 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo contradictory abstractions 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe educator and the bureaucrat 126\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendices\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix I Glossary and Place Names 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix II The Forced Resettlement Centers of the Collo Massif 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix III The Forced Resettlement Centers of the Chélif Valley 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix IV One Aspect of Depeasantization: The Discovery of Illness 170\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 209\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp;
