*The Mediterranean has been a colonial sea since ancient times. While
historians of the pre- and early modern world still tend to describe this
region with the Braudelian paradigms of unity and continuity, the
historiography of the modern Mediterranean suffers from the widespread
fragmentation of national and regional studies, including important
contributions on the colonial history of North Africa and the Middle East.
In this context, the editors invited scholars to re-think the Mediterranean
of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century as a colonial
and, most importantly, a colonised sea. Therefore the special issue brings
together
historians and geographers from North Africa, Europe and North America in
order to reconstruct colonial interactions, relationships, entanglements
and shared experiences between Europe, the Maghreb and the Middle East from
late eighteenth century, when the European colonisation of the
Mediterranean began, until the erosion of the imperial order in the 1950s.
