The history of Algerian Jews has thus far been viewed from the perspective of the northern coast, the Tell, as it is called, where the majority of the country s Jews resided before independence. The only people to be given European citizenship by an imperial power, northern Algerian Jews were considered subjects of French civilizing initiatives and were consequently dissociated from Algerian nationalist movements. As such, their immigration to France immediately before Algerian independence has often been understood as repatriation, the logical outcome of their natural cultural intimacy with the French. Historian Sarah Abrevaya Stein provides a remarkably different perspective on Algerian Jewish history in "Indigenous Jews" by focusing on the Jews of the M zab in southern Algeria, which was ruled by the French military as opposed to the civil state.
