Empire Unbound
European empires were typically represented in bright color-coded maps during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, conveying to viewers the expanse of European power across the globe. Despite this familiar image of a world divided up into neat imperial territories, the reality of empire-building often told a different story. Empire Unbound argues that European empires were never the bounded, stable entities that imperialists imagined. In exami…
War, Republican Militarism and the Reimagining of Republican Revolution in the Paris Commune of 1871
This article examines the relationship between war, revolution, and citizenship during the Paris Commune of 1871. The event marked a moment in which French radicals began to rethink the nation’s revolutionary heritage as they proposed alternative models for a reconstituted republican government and society. War and military conflict were important factors in these ideological considerations, especially as radical republicans grappled with concept…

Yoav Di-Capua. No Exit
The two decades following the Second World War saw the putative end of European imperialism and the creation of newly liberated postcolonial nations across much of Africa and Asia. Decolonization was a world historical moment that fulfilled long-standing ambitions and fueled new aspirations. While numerous histories have recounted the political struggles for independence and the rise of Third World nationalist politics that drove decolonization, …
Empire and Trans-Imperial Subjects in the Nineteenth-Century Muslim Mediterranean
During the nineteenth century, the Muslim Mediterranean became a locus of competing imperial projects led by the Ottomans and European powers. This article examines how the migration of people and ideas across North Africa and Asia complicated processes of imperial consolidation and exposed the ways in which North Africa, Europe, and Asia were connected through trans-imperial influences that often undermined the jurisdictional sovereignty of impe…
A History of Algeria, by James McDougall
Writing a history of Algeria is no easy task. It involves decisions—many implicitly political—regarding what precisely is meant by the ‘Algerian people’, how to reconcile the competing accusations and blame entrenched within post-colonial identity politics and the extent to which European colonialism explains the conflicts and violence of post-independence states. In this book, James McDougall balances these larger questions to produce a notable …
Bonapartism in Algeria
Between 1852 and 1870, Napoleon III and his Bonapartist entourage successfully established a Second Napoleonic Empire that encouraged a ‘cult of the emperor’, emphasizing the strong and even mystical bond between the sovereign and the people. While the ‘spectacular politics’ of the Bonapartist regime have been examined in detail, far less attention has been given to how Bonapartist patriotism was applied within a colonial context and, more specif…

Neither Reformers nor Réformés

This article engages ongoing \ndebates regarding the import and meaning of modernity for historians and argues in favor \nof an historically situated understanding of the modern based upon an examination of \nsocial pow…
Imagining the Trans-Mediterranean Republic
This article looks at the dialogue between metropolitan political elites and Algerian activists that grew up during the Second Empire, revisiting an important moment in the making of France’s “modern” republican democracy. Through an examination of Algerian newspapers and publications, it assesses the role that colonial public opinion played in the “republican renaissance” of the 1860s, detailing how colon polemicists consciously tailored an ideo…
A Conflicted Sense of Nationality
Les débats les plus récents à l’égard de l’identité nationale française ont révélé la résistance républicaine à la diversité culturelle dans la communauté nationale, exposant les problèmes de l’État pour encourager actuellement l’intégration musulmane.
