Text of Note

Based on archival research in France and Algeria, my dissertation looks at the politics of gender and sexuality in nineteenth and early twentieth century Algeria (1830-1914) with a special focus on the city of Constantine. My basic hypothesis is that colonialism was a fundamentally gendered enterprise that deeply transformed the meaning of masculinity, sexuality and domesticity on both sides of the imperial divide. These transformations, I argue, were shaped both by explicit state policies that reflected concern with the definition of racial categories, and by the series of daily interactions that took place between French and Algerians, often beyond the gaze and control of the French government. As both a micro history of Constantine and a history of the French empire, this dissertation seeks to integrate the everyday life stories of Constantine's non-elite (poor whites as well as colonized men and women) with broader gendered processes occurring throughout Algeria and the French empire.
