Rather, American, French, and Algerian politicians, soldiers, writers, and revolutionaries--often acting at cross purposes and across political and cultural boundaries--sought power by imagining and constructing Algeria as a fissured, dynamic, transimperial space. Focusing on issues of settler colonialism, irregular warfare, racialized citizenship, territorial incorporation, and pan-African identity, \u003ci\u003eAfter Barbary\u003c\/i\u003e shows how French Algeria helped make the American and French empires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Mason Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501784722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501784729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Timothy Mason Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637242216703,"sku":"9781501784729","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b616e4b1-5b6a-408c-9730-f8fa16fc08d7.jpg?v=1765114902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-barbary-timothy-mason-roberts-9781501784729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
