Algeria in France – Transpolitics, Race, and Nation

Autor Paul A. Silverstein
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2004
Algerian migration to France began at the end of the 19th century, but in recent years France s Algerian community has been the focus of a shifting public debate encompassing issues of unemployment, multiculturalism, Islam, and terrorism. In this finely crafted historical and anthropological study, Paul A. Silverstein examines a wide range of social and cultural forms from immigration policy, colonial governance, and urban planning to corporate advertising, sports, literary narratives, and songs for what they reveal about postcolonial Algerian subjectivities. Investigating the connection between anti-immigrant racism and the rise of Islamist and Berberist ideologies among the "second generation" ("Beurs"), he argues that the appropriation of these cultural-political projects by Algerians in France represents a critique of notions of European or Mediterranean unity and elucidates the mechanisms by which the Algerian civil war has been transferred onto French soil."

Recenzii

". . .[in] Silverstein's admirably broad study, Algeria in France . . . A vast range of sociocultural forms are tackled with equal confidence. . . Silverstein offers excellent and factually dense summaries of the key topics and presents much new research, eticulously undertaken. . . . As well as breadth, Algeria in France enjoys great depth, thanks to Silverstein's historicization ot the two countries' contemporary imbrications."--Times Literary Supplement, September 2, 2005“This is work of impressive erudition which is richly documented, theoretically sophisticated, and epistemologically provocative in that it situates itself firmly on a trans-national axis linking France and Algeria across the Mediterranean.” —Susan Terrio
