It's considered a precursor of '' Algérianisme'', a concept of Algerian literature exploring the discrete Algerian identity of settlers laying claim to an authentic existence in Algeria independent of France itself. Bertrand's work notably "valorizes the colony and its European inhabitants", as Seth Graebner put it "not the palm trees, camels or other exotic backdrops (and certainly not Arabs) but instead the new farms, cities, roads, ports and the Europeans building them." Some have described it as "echoes of a fascist discourse". ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
