This dissertation explores the history of the French Algerian wine industry. The product of an ecological disaster in Europe the wine industry in French North Africa became the fourth largest producer of wine in the world by the mid-twentieth century. French Algeria played a leading role in "saving" the French wine industry during the Phylloxera crisis of the late nineteenth century. From 1863, this insect-borne disease had begun to spread in French vineyards. By the late 1870s, it had become a veritable epidemic, killing the vines that produced France's second most important product. French wine production, which had reached an all-time high in 1875, dropped by more than two-thirds before bottoming out in 1887. The devastation of French vineyards required that France import large amounts of wine from North Africa in order to replace the lost harvests. Scholars have recently turned their attention to the constructed relationship of drink, especially wine, to French identity. A tremendous gap exists in the cultural history of French Algeria, particularly where wine and empire are concerned. This dissertation seeks to redress this scholarly imbalance. Viewed as a conduit of "Frenchness" in French Algeria, debates about wine production in the region symbolized a broader intra-French struggle over French Algeria's place within "Greater France." This dissertation argues that the French Algerian wine industry played a significant role in the development of modern French identity.

We live in an era characterised by the explosion of information. As societies are becaning more and more dependent on information, not only for the generation of knowledge but also for the generation of revenues, it is imperative that each society develops its own information infrastructure. Such development depends to a great extent on the availability of qualified library and information staff. These should be well trained and equipped with the proper knowledge, skills and attitudes to engage in library and information development programmes. Good training requires, among other facilities, an efficient library education system and a relevant curriculum. The intention of this study is to provide a framework for approaching curriculum development in Algerian library schools. Included is an overview of the process of curriculum development as seen through a review of the literature, and a look at different approaches to curriculum development and how curriculum design and planning has changed over the years. In surveying library education programmes in Algeria it was found that arrong other findings there is strong evidence of the lack of qualified teachers and poor teaching/learning facilities to attempt innovations in the curriculum. These issues are examined in the light of accepted standards in order to establish contrasting features, and measure the adequacy of library education in Algeria. The study reviews curriculum developnent activity in the Algerian general education system with emphasis on library education. It brings to attention the essential facts necessary for understanding the environmental factors which led to the current problems and tensions in the Algerian library and information scene.
