The New White Race by Charlotte Ann Legg
The New White Race is a cultural history of the development of the press in Algeria under French rule.
"Legg's fresh, cogent, nuanced reading of race, language, and issues around women and anti-Semitism as expressed in the press makes this a useful reference for a number of disciplines, including history, literature, and cultural or ethnic studies"—H. Bahri, Choice
“Legg’s book opens new directions for research. She reinvigorates approaches to using journalistic publications as the primary source base by bringing them to bear on the generative contact zone between ‘imperial turn’ and transnational historiographies. Legg’s expansive research is particularly compelling because of the multilingual source base on which she draws.”—Todd Shepard, coeditor of French Mediterraneans: Transnational and Imperial Histories
“Engaging and important. One of this book’s real strengths is the consistent attention to and analysis of questions of race and gender, which are embedded throughout the discussion rather than confined to particular chapters or segments. [Legg] also skillfully highlights the diversity within each of these ‘marginal’ groups, which complements the attention paid to the heterogeneous nature of settler populations.”—Claire Eldridge, author of From Empire to Exile: History and Memory within the Pied-Noir and Harki Communities, 1962–2012
