“…(1977: 305) As Laroui makes clear, the disciplining and acquisition of land was the driving force behind the invasion and occupation, and France modelled its settlercolonial practices in Algeria on those of the recently consolidated settler state of the United States. Another important pretext for France's invasion and conquest of Algeria was the mission civilisatrice (Duffy 2018). As Edward Said describes in Orientalism, '"la mission civilisatrice" began in the nineteenth century as a political second-best to Britain's presence ' (1978: 169).…”

It has been a privilege for the editors to work with the talented scholars who have contributed chapters to this volume. We would also like to acknowledge the numerous scholars who have attended or presented at COTCA events -as well as all members of the COTCA team (both past and present) -but whose work is not included in this collection. Their contributions via discussion, suggestions and mere enthusiasm have all helped to make this book a reality.Special mention must be made of the team at Bloomsbury, particularly Maddie Holder and Abigail Lane, who have been extraordinarily supportive and enthusiastic editors. The anonymous peer reviewers offered valuable advice and suggestions, which helped to improve the book. Daughtry describes how the 'belliphonic' , a word he coins combining the Latin and Greek words for war and voice, respectively, represents the sonic dimension of the US military's 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' expressed through the layered sounds of weaponry, vehicles and voices. Importantly, Daughtry's rich and emotive accounts of war intertwine the perspectives of both Iraqi civilians and US soldiers in combat zones (and other spaces) to provide chilling immediacy to his theorization and sonic evidence.

Reforesting Roman Africa: Woodland Resources, Worship, and Colonial Erasures

Despite a range of literary and archaeological evidence for the importance of forests in Roman Africa, these marginal lands and their marginalised populations have been almost entirely ignored or downplayed by modern scholarship, leading to tortured interpretations of a range of material. This article asks two questions, one historical, the other historiographic: what role did the forests of Africa Proconsularis play in the economies and productive imaginaries of the region's inhabitants? And why have the products, labour and labourers of sylvan industries been largely written out of modern accounts? After drawing together evidence and proxies for the centrality of Africa's pine forests to a range of lifeways, cultural practices and economies — including their fundamental (and overlooked) role in providing the pitch that lined the exported amphorae that drove North Africa's economic boom — I argue that French colonial practices around forests led to their erasure from histories of Roman Africa.
