While elements of symbolism, culture, and identity have been explored in relation to the urban, domestic, and architectural transformations of the Casbah before and during the Algerian Revolution, such accounts typically allude to but stop short of a thorough analysis of the primarily political modalities of governance and resistance within such colonial spaces. To corroborate and reframe these urban studies, this chapter offers a typology for a ‘colonial politics of space’, aided by Djaffar Lesbet’s notion of counter-spaces and by various displaced Foucauldian themes. Next, I offer a critical appraisal of the FLN’s spatial governance as it emerged out of the Casbah, and as distinct from French colonial spatial governmentality. This critical evaluation of FLN spatial governance, I argue, provides clues for resistance to contemporary, neocolonial spatial domination.
