The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "Spaces of Empire," examines the ways in which imperial powers have shaped the spatial organization of Northwest Africa. The second part, "Spaces of Mobility," explores the ways in which people have moved through and experienced the region. The third part, "Spaces of Contention," examines the ways in which space and mobility have been contested and negotiated in Northwest Africa.

Spaces of Empire

The first part of the book, "Spaces of Empire," examines the ways in which imperial powers have shaped the spatial organization of Northwest Africa.
