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","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397682151660,"sku":"9781501784736","price":103.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/021036a7424ffd872129810c0f8d3b4f.jpg?v=1773720323","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/after-barbary-by-timothy-mason-roberts-9781501784736","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
