{"product_id":"algerians-without-borders-allan-christelow-9780813037554","title":"Algerians Without Borders: The Making of a Global Frontier Society","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Maps a fascinating and far-flung global frontier that Algerians have crossed over for centuries. This is not only a history of the modern and contemporary Algerian diaspora but also an instructive study of political, social, cultural, and economic encounters and negotiations that occur at the interstices of civilizations. Christelow contributes an impressive and erudite narrative that widens and enriches the corpus of modern Algerian historiography.\"--Phillip C. Naylor, author of \u003ci\u003eNorth Africa: A History from Antiquity to the Present\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis account of Algeria through its migratory history begins in the last quarter of the eighteenth century by looking at forced migration through the slave trade. It moves through the colonial era and continues into Algeria's turbulent postcolonial experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eAlgerians without Borders\u003c\/i\u003e, Allan Christelow examines the factors that have drawn or pushed Algerians to cross borders, both literal and metaphoric. He provides an in-depth analysis of the results of these crossings: from problematic efforts to secure external support for political projects, to building interfaith dialogue and the exploration of new ideas, to the emergence of new communities. He also investigates the return of border crossers to Algeria and the challenges they face in adapting to new environments, whether negotiating alliances, engaging in dialogue, or simply seeking legal acceptance.\u003cp\u003eChristelow concludes with a discussion of the last few decades of Algerian history. He explores how Algerian intellectuals operated outside of the country's borders, spurred on by the rise of Islamism as well as by freer dialogues with Western powers, specifically Britain and the United States. The result is an alternate history of Algeria that demonstrates just how much its citizens' engagement with other societies has transformed the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Christelow\u003c\/b\u003e, professor of history at Idaho State University, is the author of \u003ci\u003eMuslim Law Courts and the French Colonial State in Algeria\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThus Ruled Emir Abbas.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan Christelow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813037557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813037554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013","brand":"Allan Christelow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965155033343,"sku":"9780813037554","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab0ebc7e-76c6-4f0a-aca2-5dd90101336e.jpg?v=1767278860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/algerians-without-borders-allan-christelow-9780813037554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
