Thesis presentation text

My thesis focuses on the forms of legal recognition and definitionof trans-imperial migrants in North Africa between the second half of the nineteenthcentury and the first half of the twentieth century. Against a backdrop of intensifying intra-North African migration, this study seeks to grasp the renegotiations of the ways in which North Africanswere and were to besaid , and the range of their affiliations. It attempts to deploy both diplomatic sources in European languages and more rarely used sources in vernacular languages (Arabic and Judeo-Arabic in particular).
