Abstract: The Maltese islands have long been a place of movement.1 Part of this tradition involves leaving the home islands to seek economic opportunities in neighboring areas.2 The nature of this movement fundamentally changed in the mid-nineteenth century with the French invasion of Algeria. What had previously been a migration of limited quantity grew to encompass a much greater percentage of the population.3 The circular movement of Maltese to North Africa, particularly to Algeria, defined Maltese migration in the nineteenth century.4 Over the course of the century, Maltese came to form a significant part of the non-French European contingent in French North Africa. Fluctuating international and domestic forces in the political, economic, social, and cultural realms all influenced Maltese migration to Algeria in the nineteenth century.
