المتدينون و السلطة في بايلك الغرب الجزائري أواخر العهد العثماني 1772-1830م

Abstract EN

The Algerian sources and narrations related to what is known historically : western Beylik given an important information about the nature and style of the Ottomans' treatment with a local population, which comes in the context of denial and lack of interaction and cooperation, leaving the reader with an extreme picture of the bad and oppression they received, especially a group of them that can be historically called religious scholars (practitioners) and jurists and saints (Shuyukh ez-Zawaya).

the texts that we will try to present indicate the occurrence of major transgressions that may amount to physical liquidation, as well as a description of the methods and means adopted.

we find this in the writings of Ziānī, Mazārī, and others, in the midst of a tense and turbulent relationship between the Ottoman authority and the entire religious shuyukh representing the local elite during this period.

also in this presentation we are attempting to find out whether this attitude is an accumulation of attitudes that can be considered original in the view of the local population or as a result of changes in Ottoman policy in the last periods of its rule of Algeria.
