Item description from seller

32 pages. Early French administration in Algeria comes under close scrutiny in this 1834 study, which contrasts the hopeful rhetoric of liberation in 1830 with the harsher realities that followed. The writer traces how the French, having promised to free the Arabs from Turkish domination, instead drifted into practices that alienated local tribes - from the seizure and sale of livestock to the execution of sheikhs under military law. The article highlights the legal ambiguities of the capitulation, the missteps of successive governors, and the rapid erosion of trust between occupiers and natives. What emerges is a portrait of a colonial project already compromised at its outset, marked by confusion, opportunism, and a failure to understand the people France claimed to protect. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Foreign Quarterly Review; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages).…
