📅 28 April 1887 📍 Algeria

A law of 28 April 1887 adjusted land administration and made it easier for colonial authorities to delimit and redistribute collective lands. The process could convert communal tenure into parcels more readily acquired by settlers and investors. The legal paperwork of surveying and registration operated within unequal power relations: Algerian communities faced the loss of land, livelihood, and autonomy.
