Sommario/riassunto

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.
