Gavin Murray-Miller rethinks the subject by examining the idiomatic use of modernity in French cultural and political discourse. The Cult of the Modern argues that the modern French republic is a product of nineteenth-century colonialism rather than a creation of the Enlightenment or the French Revolution. This analysis contests the predominant Parisian and metropolitan contexts that have traditionally framed French modernity studies, noting the important role that colonial Algeria and the administration of Muslim subjects played in shaping understandings of modern identity and governance among nineteenth-century politicians and intellectuals. In synthesizing the narratives of continental France and colonial North Africa, Murray-Miller proposes a new framework for nineteenth-century French political and cultural history, bringing into sharp relief the diverse ways in which the French nation was imagined and represented throughout the country's turbulent postrevolutionary history, as well as the implications for prevailing understandings of France today"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aFrance overseas. 607 $aFrance$xRelations$zAlgeria 607 $aAlgeria$xRelations$zFrance 607 $aAlgeria$xColonization$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a303.48/24406509034 686 $aHIS013000$aHIS001030$aHIS037060$2bisacsh 700 $aMurray-Miller$b Gavin$0938543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465779103321 996 $aThe cult of the modern$92114581 997 $aUNINA
