French real estate legislation, another tool for the dispossession of Algerians' property 1830-1873, A Study in content and results

Abstract

Since 1830, Algeria has become a new destination for waves of European and French migration instead of the new world, to facilitate the settlement of these people, the colonial administration sought to regulate the real estate issue and create a real estate space that would accommodate this huge amount according to an arsenal of real estate legislation, especially in the early years of occupation.

We will highlight the seriousness of the colonial legal text in the service of the French settlement project in Algeria from 1830-1873, as this is the most dangerous stage in the history of the colonial presence in Algeria, given the size of the laws issued on the one hand and their disastrous consequences on the Algerian individual on the other.
