Guided by the modernizing ideologies of the Saint-Simonian school in their development and implementation of colonial policy, the officers articulated a new doctrine and framework for governing the Muslim and European populations of Algeria. Apostles of Modernity shows the evolution of this civilizing mission in Algeria, and illustrates how these 40 years were decisive in shaping the principal ideological tenets in French colonization of the region. This book offers a rethinking of 19th-century French colonial history. It reveals not only what the rise of Europe implied for the cultural identities of non-elite Middle Easterners and North Africans, but also what dynamics were involved in the imposition or local adoptions of European cultural norms and how the colonial encounter impacted the cultural identities of the colonizers themselves. 606 $aAssimilation (Sociology)$zFrance$xColonies$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aAlgeria$xPolitics and government$y1830-1962 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zAfrica$xAdministration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAssimilation (Sociology)$xColonies$xHistory 676 $a965/.03 700 $aAbi-Mershed$b Osama$0850827 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459099203321 996 $aApostles of modernity$92442915 997 $aUNINA
