Professor Roberts examines the relationship between antisemitism
and the practices of citizenship in a colonial context. She focuses
on the experience of Algerian Jews and their evolving identity as
citizens as they competed with the other populations in the colony,
including newly naturalised non-French settlers and Algerian
Muslims, for control over the scarce resources of the colonial
state. The author argues that this resulted in antisemitic violence
and hotly contested debates over the nature of French identity and
rights of citizenship. Tracing the ambiguities and tensions that
Algerian Jews faced, the book shows that antisemitism was not
coherent or stable but changed in response to influences within
Algeria, and from metropolitan France, Europe and the Middle East.
Written for a wide audience, this title contributes to several
fields including Jewish history, colonial and empire studies,
antisemitism within municipal politics, and citizenship, and adds
to current debates on transnationalism and globalization.
