: Muriel Cohen’s book contributes to a burgeoning scholarship about Algerians’ place in France in the 20th century. It is part of a historiography that grapples with France’s troubled and troubling history as an imperial nation state. Cohen identifies her goal “to bring out the uniqueness of Algerian family immigration” by considering both their interaction with the state and the “multiple pathways” they took (p. 22). In other words, she reminds us that Algerians’ experiences have been more diverse than depictions—in the media and in political circles—have allowed.

To do this, the article draws on a corpus of stories collected from various actors (smuggler, official, henchman), with each account highlighting the various praiseworthy qualities of such a figure. However, this positive vision of an outlaw should be considered against the backdrop of the Djiboutian political context, characterised by, on the one hand, the privatisation of state rents by a micro-elite, and, on the other hand, the marginalisation and impoverishment of part of the population. This situation has two consequences. First, it means that the smuggler indirectly represents a political figure of protest in an authoritarian context. Second, these stories have a direct impact on the recruitment
