The engagement of colonised peoples with empire (Algeria, 1830-1962)

这个项目旨在挑战关于帝国和臣民角色的长期观念。它试图质疑这样一种观点，即抵抗是殖民者对欧洲统治做出反应的明显方式。它的目的是探索这样一个命题，即殖民人民以比假设更复杂和不同的方式与帝国、帝国的结构和价值观打交道。个人和社区在帝国统治的结构内工作，并确定机会，借此改善他们的生活，努力争取他们和他们社区的解放。这个项目将关注法国在阿尔及利亚统治的整个时期(1830-1962)。

This project aims to challenge long-held ideas about empire and the role of subject peoples. It endeavours to question the view that resistance was the obvious way in which colonised peoples responded to European domination. It is designed to explore the proposition that colonised peoples engaged with empire, its structures and values in more complex and various ways than has been assumed. Individuals and communities worked inside the structures of imperial rule and identified opportunities whereby they could improve their lives and work towards their emancipation and that of their communities. This project will focus on the entire period of French rule in Algeria (1830 to 1962).
